When James Dolan cancels the watch party outside MSG, we bring the watch party to you.
Thanks to the @NBA, Knicks Game 4 is now playing on dozens of @LinkNYC screens across our city.
LGK.
Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani have announced a free FIFA World Cup Final watch party at Central Park’s Great Lawn.
Up to 50,000 fans can attend.
First, the loyal fans who supported the Knicks for decades when the team sucked (emptying thier wallets for tickets, shirts, jerseys) get priced out of the building when New York finally reaches the Finals (by insanely wealthy patrons willing/capable of casually blowing $20k on a pair of tickets to a basketball game, many of them having just hopped on the bandwagon or purchased tix to Game 3 solely b/c MSG is “the place to be” this week).
Then those same loyal, working-class fans get a second middle finger from ownership. Due to Dolan's desire to host Trump, thousands of diehard Knicks fans are denied the chance to gather outside the Garden, watch the game on a big screen, and share a once-in-a-lifetime moment with the community that helped keep this franchise alive when nobody else cared.
Access is reserved for the powerful, rich and/or connected, not the fans who stuck with this team through 20+ years of misery.
In between pressers at MSG, a scrum broke out around Fat Joe and Jadakiss.
Fat Joe with an all-timer on this Knicks run:
“I seen Hasidic Jews break dancing with Black kids. This is the greatest unification of the city since 9/11”
The Knicks have reportedly canceled all Game 3 watch parties outside MSG due to President Donald Trump's attendance.
A hard closure is expected around Madison Square Garden, with no watch parties, vehicle access or pedestrian traffic permitted in the secured area, according to CBS News.
One quarter into the NBA Finals, Jalen Brunson is affirming the concerns people have about small guards being able to win it all.
The closer you get. The more physical it gets. So far, Brunson’s body is betraying him.
