Knicks fans after game 5 in MSG
truly hilarious that with how much hate flows through new york trae young is still somehow public enemy #1
like it’s been 4 years since he buried the knicks in the first round and they still haven’t gotten over it
I think it’s become a respect thing in the weirdest way. Like a heel in wrestling, you are supposed to hate them but you respect their role in the story.
He’s forever a villain here. And he loves it.
I’d rather be the villain than forgotten.
Agreed. After basically two decades of being nothing, it’s fun to have a villain or two that we can get after as fans. When you’re trash, you aren’t worth a rivalry.
This is an interesting sentiment, I am under the assumption that Knicks fans at least had fun in the Melo and Amare era.
It’s like a two year blip of fun with that and Linsanity. They won 1 playoff series.
There were fun moments and stretches but it was overall not a good experience
At least we ruined LeBron’s homecoming game to Cleveland.
Such a fun rivalry
It is. I tip my flat brim hat.
Lol yeah. I love to hate Trae Young. Always glad to see him come around. Haliburton I want to get sucked out of the Pacers team plane through a six inch hole at 40,000 ft.
That escalated quickly
That’s the spirit!
Frontier, too.
Very cool and not unhinged at all.
i don’t support the violence but god damn if this didn’t make me belly laugh at 8am
He’s the most like-able villain we’ve had tbh. He makes it fun, idk
Yep. And aside from that asshole who spit on him, Knicks fans have been respectful haters. It’s oddly wholesome, where you can tell he genuinely enjoys being the villain, and Knick fans enjoy ‘hating him’. A lot of you genuinely dislike Embiid but this is more like Reggie where it’s just a fun game to play and he’ll get a standing ovation his last game in MSG
It helps that the only person still on the team from that series is Mitch, who didn’t play because he was hurt
Speaking of heels and wrestling, I love that Trae actually appears on WWE shows at MSG, too.
LMAO. Nah, at this point, Trae Young isn’t really hated by Knicks fans in the traditional sense. He’s more like a villain in a wrestling storyline. someone who played the role perfectly and has become a part of MSG lore. You can even say he’s a beloved villain.
I’m sure Trae is also loving it lol. It’s the most lighthearted hate relationship I’ve seen and I love it.
You guys are the type to cheer him upon returning one day and then chant “Fuck Trae Young” immediately after.
Whenever Trae young retires he will get a massive standing ovation from the MSG crowd when his name gets announced before his last game there and then once the game starts it’ll be right back to “fuck Trae young” chants and booing him lol
Lmao that sounds genuinely beautiful
Reggie got a standing ovation, chant, and a hug from Spike Lee in his last game at MSG.
Oh absolutely
The Kurt Angle type of love lmao
Salute to Trae. And fuck him.
Honestly, he reminds me a lot of the Jesse Winker vs the Mets situation but with more actual significance because of the playoff series
Nah with winker and the Mets it was always lighthearted. We were all thrilled when we traded for him
Lmao he was such a showman/dick about it that’s why
no one truly hates him lmao it’s a meme
This sub truly hated him for like 5 years. I know because I had to constantly defend him from slander lmao
What did Trae Young do?
burned their fields…
Turned them into newts!
played dice on their court😂
marched elephants over the appalachians and crushed the knicks legions
Trae Young invented the double envelopment tactic at Cannae, read your history books folks
He torched them in playoffs. YouTube it, it’s actually cold af
Or… people are being funny
we havent had the playoff vibe in ny in a while and he killed us. he was the perfect villain for us.
If he walked through New York he’d probably get some playful interactions with fans but not like genuine vitriol. If he got traded to the Knicks he’d be an instant fan favourite
It’s just a meme at this point.
You never forget your first love
If he ever became a Knick MSG would explode. They would love him
All these non sidetalk versions suck.
Feel like half of the dudes in this one were trying to just imitate sidetalk dudes
Felt really forced
it’s so stupid now. everyone just trying to one up whatever popped off on sidetalk to make the edit. like Philly fans that kept pushing the limit to go viral until someone ultimately ate horseshit off the street and people recognized how dumb it’d gotten
I just wanna point out Cavs fans were the first to eat horse shit and they did it for the love of the game not clout
someone ultimately ate horseshit off the street
That’s pretty funny though honestly
One of the guys on Bill Simmons (I forget who) said that he went out to see what it was like and it was just people content farming, nobody just enjoying the moment. After the Boston series iirc.
For real, as soon as you see the microphone with a company logo you know it’s going to be wack.
To me it felt like this was trying too hard, bit too much acting and not authentic enough somehow. Instead of being in the moment, they just watched the other videos and tried to copy them.
They’ve got no crowd noise which is half the hype in sidetalk. This video is just so quiet outside of the dudes on mic
IMO all the videos, even the sidetalk versions, since the original feels like people trying to create their moment.
I do think it peaked at the third one tho ( the bing bong one)..Even tho people were a bit selfaware.
The first one was most organic (when the Knicks broke 500), the second was also fairly so (when trae and the Hawks won).
We’ll never again see an organic moment where a Knicks fan has to backtrack talking about his dad’s dick
Exactly. Idk why people are pretending like “sidetalk” is somehow free from this criticism…it’s also corny and just like this. The novelty has worn off no matter who is doing it.
This has unfortunately gone the route of reality tv, and whoever solves this issue will make a lot of money: when impromptu reality media debuts, it’s great bc it’s natural settings and raw emotions. Once you get a following, people act out to be on camera for the views. Sidetalk has done a decent job maintaining but it definitely isn’t what it was
The original side talk is GOATed. They still have the best production value and I enjoy their videos. This video in particular sucks though.
Maybe cause this clearly isn’t sidetalk.
Yup it’s like when that hawk tuah chick did her thing and then all of a sudden I was seeing random man on the street interviews with girls saying weird shit hoping to get the same reception. couldn’t be cornier.
Was just thinking this. Whatever tf this company is, they don’t have the editing skill or the pure vibes, shit is TERRIBLE
Motion tracking completely ruined it too
My most boomer take: any video that has motion tracking is an immediate opinion of “this video sucks”. I hate motion tracking in any video
sidetalk’s are quick are 10⁄20 seconds with less corpo friendly interviewees while these are just 2 minute ads
Fr most of these people sounded like transplants that saw other side talk videos and are trying to recreate that.
The one after the Hawks series is still the best and is an iconic video, followed closely by the Celtics season opener win. Seems like nowadays people are trying too hard to get their viral “Sidetalk” moment and are just looking for an excuse to act like hooligans and assholes instead of actually celebrating
‘We don’t die we multiply’
0:28 guy multiplies
My favorite was “Ne-Smith, Arm-Smith, Leg-Smith.“ 😂
he’s soooo stoned too lol
1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1,024 2,048 4,096 8,192 16,384 32,768 65,536 131,072 262,144 524,288 1,048,576 and so he multiplied like a rat.
I feel like these used to have more Real New Yorkers™️ and less Connecticut frat boys
I feel like Sidetalk goes and finds the real New Yorkers and has their recurring characters. The knockoffs just attract these people trynna be viral
I recall them saying that when they do film they wait to grab the very last people walking out of the stadium because they think those guys are the more die hard fans.
That makes sense
eh, the sidetalk guys are actually out-of-state frat boys themselves, and the people they post are just the most unhinged “New Yorkers” they can find
these guys are definitely from westchester and long island, those are the wealthy suburbs right outside of new york city. a ticket at msg at this point in the season is too expensive for most native new yorkers, most of the ppl who go are from those wealthy suburbs, people from other parts of the country working high paying jobs, or young people living in the city “for the experience” with rich families
As a former resident of the area Manhattan is also outrageously expensive. Shitty apartments cost a mint. Anything decent costs a fortune. The place is littered with outrageous wealth.
The Garden is full of wealthy people who live there. Those ARE New Yorkers.
When you’re thinking of like “real New Yorkers” that’s people from a bygone era. People like that live mostly in the boroughs or up in New Rochelle or some shit.
100%, msg and these “big market” teams priced out the working class. it’s cheaper to literally fly to indy, catch the game there and spend the night than actually go to one of these games at msg. crazy to think the guys in the nosebleeds are making well above the national average too lmao
Was in NYC for work last Feb, I make a pretty good living but not good enough that I’d be balling every weekend if I lived there. Knicks-Celtics at the Garden was happening and I’ve always wanted to see a game there so took a look at tickets
$450 get-in price for the worst nosebleed in the building. Completely insane for a regular season game. Non-Finals playoff lowers cost that in middle America outside of Chicago. Did not realize the dream of seeing a game there, maybe some day the Knicks will suck again when I happen to be in town on a game night
Those are the prices even if the Knicks are bad.
It costs over $400 for a nosebleed to see the 25-40 Knicks play the 15-15 Pelicans there?
Yes
Seeing young couples in the 5th or 6th rows. They must all have been rich
I was thinking about that with clips of some of these guys shit talking Indiana. Seemed like an easy diss when they could watch the game for cheaper there so why the geography hate 😅
the Manhattan prices have far outpaced Westchester at this point. For the price of buying a small apartment in a nice neighborhood in Manhattan, you can get a house with property in Westchester.
The only thing that’s more at this point are the big mansions in certain towns, but the majority of westchester isn’t like that.
Absolutely. OP thinks it’s the 70’s.
I sat at a bar on 29th refreshing StubHub for a ticket under 400$. Didn’t happen and NYPD shut down the plaza on 33rd. It was still a blast but the cops were ready for bullshit.
It’s too expensive for some of us in Westchester too fuck that lmao. Shout out Mount Vernon. Knicks in 7
the Fairfield county knicks fan club is hyped
I recently took a train (Metro North) from NYC to CT hella late night (like 1 AM) and couldn’t believe the insane amount of piss drunk frat dudes present (nearly ALL wearing Jeter jerseys). That’s a long journey to go party, but yeah probably a lot more to do in NYC than Bridgeport…
Sounds like they just went to a yankee game lol
It’s always the guys with jeter jerseys LMAO
Who the hell do you think has money for Knicks playoff games? It’s not people from east Harlem
Trust fund babies. Daddy’s paying for the tickets, there’s no other explanation and why the crowd is so young. There’s a certain type of immaturity displayed that only kids with rich parents have.
Yup
Nahhh get these Sidetalk wannabes out my face
Sidetalk editing and clip choice is levels above this slop
Nah this ain’t it chief
knockoff sidetalk. it just aint the same
No offense but this makes me root against the Knicks
They seem to have forgotten that coming back from 3-1 deficits is like … history-making levels of difficult.
Looks like they just found a bunch of NY transplants who wanna be viral
You can tell which ones aren’t transplants, the first one who set jt all off and the one guy who deadpanned the “this is the resilience only New York has”
But the transplants, yeah you just know they’re transplants
I dunno I think the sweaty kid obsessed with honey is bona fide /s
Cringe
I hope that Pacers fan is safe lol
Tomorrow on r/publicfreakout…
Somebody check on Brian Windhorst
Hes hot
I just want the Pacers to win just to fuck with these jokers.
Imagine the Knicks win game 6 but lose game 7 at the garden, would be some incredible post game content
It would be the most Knicks thing possible. I kind of feel that’s how it plays out.
At this point guys are just trying to emulate the og sidewalk videos. Kinda lame
This doesn’t have the same energy as Sidetalk.
I was there last night - all this happened on the NW corner of 34&7th. There were loads of people around but also hundreds of cops. The only pocket of big energy was that one corner, everywhere else was waiting for a spark.
Cops gave fans like 10 minutes after the game and then started shooing people away.
this iteration kinda sucked
Last guy looked like luigi
Handsome fella
Thought the same thing
Shoutout Caitlin Clark lol
Do people actually like when others act like this? Holy fuck everyone in this video is insufferable
As a Knicks fan I think the Sidetalk shit is incredibly cringe. It has its moments, like when we beat Philly last year, but it’s wack to me to be doing all this, especially when we’re down 3-2.
Did the knicks really figure something out or is it still over? (I did not watch the game)
I mean it’s just one of those games where home crowd really helped to carry momentum throughout the game. We didn’t really do anything different. Next game is more or less a toss up imo.
More Landry Shamet
I mean seeing none of the starters play more than 36 seemed like a pretty big change?
Yeah Thibs just waits until an elimination game in the conference finals to finally play the bench lmao
Watch him go back to his old way and play starter for 42 mins
Gotta make sure they have no gas left in the tank to close the game.
It’s pretty even but Knicks are probably still losing this series. Hard to beat a team 3 games in a row when it’s this closely matched. Game one swung the series. Knicks don’t blow a 20 pt lead in the 4th and they win this series easily
Yeah that ridiculous ball bounce and make from Haliburton to take the game to overtime might be in Knicks fans heads for a long time.
I just want the Knicks to win the series so that image can be it’s own meme.
Pacers just struggled. You can bet that won’t happen in game 6. And this is coming from someone who wants the Knicks to win.
I ain’t gone lie , the “ SUCK MY KNICK “ got me to chuckle a bit too hard 😂
this one was weak.
“Only thing good about Indiana is Caitlin Clark” lmao 🤣
Indy please bury these dip shits
Ny and Philly fans. The worse out there
This is so bad. Disgusting that a sports gambling company is just straight ripping off sidetalk with these Westchester frat boys that have family homes in the Hamptons
The other one was better. This edit sucks
How do you know someone is from New York? They’ll tell you!
Most annoying fans in the world
The Knicks won because I came ? That’s wild 😜
I can’t wait until this series is over so this fanbase can go into hibernation for another 10 years.
What’s wrong with cornfields?
The knicks won because she came? Okay Bilquist
Why did that one guy say Knicks in 4?
Because hes a dumbass like everyone in this video.
Remedial math
I’m so excited to see these losers get sent home Saturday.
Why do they all look like they’re high on some bad cocaine?
Half these people live in Jersey
These non side talk ones are kinda whack, dunno why they lack that extra magic sauce
What I would expect from a team named after 17th century underwear.
FUCK TRAE YOUNG
Trae Young catching strays
Honestly, this is embarrassing for New York. All these dudes sound dumb.
Gay af
As a long time Knicks fan I question what is wrong with these people.
I naturally want the Knicks to win but let’s focus on winning game 6 before we start calling silly things like “Knicks in 7” 🤦🏻♂️
Wildest fans in the NBA lol
Temu sidetalk from clout chasers
Something felt off and then I realized this is a sidetalk knock off
Pacers still have the momentum but gotta love the passion. NY is an extra special place when the teams win
This video will be played in the Indiana locker room. Pacers in 6…
Its crazy how expensive it is to live in NYC and yet Trae Young somehow gets to live rent free
This stopped being fun/cool mano games ago, now i just see bunch of crazy asshol
This lacked sooooo much energy… sidetalk would never
Some sidetalk wanna be shit
America is so cringe
when the bing bong hits you know it’s legit - this is Canal Street sidetalk
90% aren’t NYers.
Most likely, they’ll get torched in game 6
Ehh it hits different when sidetalk does it
Everybody hating but I thought it was funny shrug
Felt weird watching this and then realised this ain’t sidetalk. Makes sense
Boomer take: any video with motion tracking sucks. It’s for sure overused in this clip but anytime I see a video with motion tracking I immediately hate it.
End rant.
When did NY become abunch of frat bros?
How is it all dorky dudes from LI, NJ, and Connecticut and not a single guy from Brooklyn or the Bronx?
Trae young staying rent free in NY is wild cause he’s racked a few milly in unpaid rent
Am I the only one that finds these extremely cringey
I lost it with “Laaandry Shaaaamet” most New York accent ever lol
See this is just a bunch of people trying to have a bing bong moment.
These mf trying way too hard
big market mentality
I’m reposting this after the Pacers win tomorrow 😂
Even Caitlyn Clark catching strays
I actrually don’t think thats a stray
he’s saying she’s the only good thing about Indiana
Long Island white boy hates Indiana except for Caitlyn Clark… no one surprised.
Knicks fans crazy lol
They’re gonna hate Trae Young until he’s Trae Old.
Americans are cringe as fuck 🤮
Yes. Much better to beat the shit out of opposing fans or rampage through foreign cities or light stadiums on fire.
Stay classy New York
“Suck my knick!”😂
Did Porzingus just get a stray bullet for no reason?
