"I'm a Knicks fan"
–– Tyler Nickel's dad Eric Nickel, who grew up on Long Island and played college ball for SUNY Plattsburgh
Eric after his son became a Knick:
When OG hit the shot, everyone in the building went nuts, even the Security Guards.
Here is a great video of the DJ.
How do you even pick the song in that moment? Went with the most likely choice.
Understandable!
Have to imagine this is the most viral NBA Finals social media moment to date.

Knicks coach Mike Brown on the referees in Game 3: “I never thought I’d be in the NBA Finals and see a team get 24 free throw attempts in the second half to another team’s eight. I don’t think I complain much about officials or the fairness when it comes to the free throw attempts. San Antonio is a great team. It’s going to lower our odds big time if we play Game 4 and in the second half they get 24 free throw attempts to our eight. Maybe we were fouling, but they fouled too.”
