As the New York Knicks make their playoff run, New York City is honoring the team by temporarily renaming several streets in Manhattan after active players. Announced by Mayor Eric Adams and DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, these signs reflect the team's vibrant blue-and-orange colors and highlight players' names and jersey numbers. This initiative is intended to showcase the team's spirit and community pride. With the Knicks achieving their best season in a decade and reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, the enthusiasm for the team is palpable throughout the city.
The Knicks embody the spirit of New York-resilient, passionate and unstoppable," said Mayor Adams. "On the path to a championship, we recognize the hard work and determination that has gotten this team to the Eastern Conference Finals.
It is a full-court press celebration of Knicks pride, with each street sign decked out in team colors and labeled with the player's name and jersey number.
This is the most New York way possible to say: We see you, we love you, now beat the Pacers.
MSG Sports COO Jamaal Lesane echoed the sentiment, calling it a moment to "bring people together through their shared passion for the team."
