Doug Berns, a lifelong Knicks fan and musician from Brooklyn, has gained popularity by creating unique musical recaps of Knicks games shortly after they end. Initially aiming to write one metal song, he transitioned to parodies of '90s rock and hip hop, which deeply resonated with fans. His dynamic approach has garnered over 15,000 Instagram followers and recognition from figures like filmmaker Spike Lee and Knicks players. Berns reflects on the unexpected nature of his work gaining traction and its emotional relatability to Knicks fans, showcasing the connection between sports and music.
When the emotional roller coaster of investing in this team is really intense, these songs help tell the story of those ups and downs.
The Internet is so wild, I could never have conceived of this; I never imagined Knicks players would engage with my work.
