Not a basketball fan, can’t claim the Knicks as my team other than being a life long rangers fan and growing up outside of NYC and it being my place of employment. This is the first thing that has brought tears to my eyes. What a hell of a run and what a great moment for NYC.
GOOD MORNING NEW YORK FUCKING CITYYYYY GET YA CHOPPED CHEESE AND START FRENCH KISSING YOUR DELI GUY AND TELL YOUR LANDLORD TO GO FUCK HIMSELF CUZ WE OUTSIDE ALL SUMMER LONG BABY GO KNICKS
This video does such a good job capturing what’s made this championship feel so special.
If Spurs had won, the Nike spot would have been something about Wemby arriving (or maybe new era w/ all the young players.
This didn’t even have any players in it. It’s about the city and the people who call it home.
I don’t even like the Knicks (although my wife is a massive fan and watched every game this season). I’m a Sixers fan. But I love New York and this whole run has been about the city.
i love that they picked the billy joel track. while everyone’s reaching for sinatra or empire state of mind, this stands out so beautifully and makes the city feel less like a postcard and more like a place.
thank the lord, good commercials are so back.

“We’ve been waiting for this for 53 years, and it just feels like the entire city is alive. The biggest city in the country feels like the smallest town in the world.”
