Knicks fans gathered to give belt to Earth after winning game 2 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, going up 2-0 in the ECF series.
Listen… at least it isn’t an opposing team’s fan this time
Progress!
My one life long Knicks fan homie hates all these bandwagon kids who have suffered 40 years of Knicks fandom
You don’t know any of these people so assuming they are bandwagonders is some bullshit.
Bandwagon kids
Holy fuck why are you assuming they’re bandwagon fans? Who gives a fuck if younger Knicks fans didn’t suffer for 40 years, they’re still fans
Wait what?????
I’m guessing it’s this

I just know there was a few “Fuck Trae Young” yelled tonight 😂
I went to a goddamn Mets/Yankees game last weekend and there was a FTY chant coming down from the promenade lol
Good fuck Trae young
^ Stevie Wonder can see the flair of this commenter
Nothing more honorable as an athlete to be berated by Knicks fans even when they aren’t actively playing against them.
Always. And some Fuck Embiids too
Cavs gonna trade for him next season
Ah yes he’ll be a great replacement after spidas inevitable departure
And Baskin Robbins for some reason
I can’t wait for the Knicks home game against the wizards next season
Damn.
It’s Game TWO of the ECF.
What’s going to happen if the Knicks win the Finals?
NYC will collapse into the earth
there’s been news that a few sinkholes have been opening up on the island
Sinkhole De Mayo
Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
Sick reference, bro!
everybody knows your references are out of control
That one at the airport was wild
That scene from Sinners when the juke joint burns down lol. Madison Square Garden all singing from the top of their lungs.
Somebody take me… in your arms tonight…
….hang on now
Oh God… The boomers would be right
One can only hope
For a taste of what will happen, look up Philly celebrating Eagles winning superbowl
Or when Cleveland won, I saw a dude literally eat horseshit off the ground in celebration.
For him it was just a regular Monday
Let’s find out
It’s just people after the game outside the arena. It’s not happening through the whole city. Social media can really make it feel like this is happening everywhere in the city. It’s a bunch of people who went to the game or watch party and all take out their phones at once. What was once organic has turned into a look at me fest.
We sink Staten Island
Thought y’all already did
Can we regardless?
Mamdani will throw a week long celebration (and rightfully so)
You really wanna know?????? 😎😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥🔥
What’s going to happen if they don’t make it to the finals?
The only thing I will concede is that Zohran Mamdani being mayor at the time of a Knicks championship riot will lead to the funniest dumb political takes ever.
Society would collapse
The city will burn down
Everything in that Billy Joel See The Lights Go Out on Broadway song comes true.
The new World Trade Center is being lifted up and thrown into the Empire State Building
A parade march to New Jersey
The entire east coast will be razed to the ground.
You ever see Batman? Gotham. Itll become Gotham
Remember 9⁄11??
They need to get through the Jays first after y’all beat Philly Game 9
Don’t ask a question if you don’t wanna know the answer
nyc burned down
Manhattan will cease to exist
We’ll somehow manage to get the Statue of Liberty to Manhattan for the parade.
The Statue of Liberty will deliver us from evil
Nobody needs to worry about that. This team ain’t ever winning a championship.
Destroy and Rebuild
Dude the city is gonna explode. I swear if it gets to a clinching game for them I’m going to the watch party outside msg
“I guess we’ll never know!1!!” ☘️🌽🌽🌽
Oh boy…. Get ready for Reddit to lose their minds because fans are actually having fun
Nbs, first thing I see when I open this app, my heart instantly sank because I thought they were jumping someone 😭
It’s not an irrational thought cause we’ve seen it too often lol
Game 3: BREAKING NEWS, Knicks fans have jumped David Lee after he came to show his support for the team
Game 4: Knicks fans go to mark price’s home and slap the shit out of him
No, not Mark Price, he’s cool
David lee’s pretty cool too and they still jumped him
RIP David Lee. Oh wait..
Hey, that bastard took Caroline Wozniacki off the market, he had it coming
We dont criticize this stuff wdym, it’s only when fans are being assholes.
Try explaining to New Yorkers that there’s a difference between having fun and being an asshole. Mostly joking, but yeah nuance is dead
whats wrong with this? I only see it when fans actually do asshole things
My favorite is how they praise European soccer fans for their passion and loyalty when they burn cars and assault opposing fans but call any American based teams fan base a bunch of classless scum when they….. slap the ground with a shoe
Newsflash, the people saying that are not the same ones
I’m European and that stuff annoys me too. Yes, the atmosphere here can be very intense and amazing, but it can also be needlessly aggressive and immature. Those things you mentioned are rare, but violence is often looming.
Sure, some NBA games are kind of tame in comparison, but places like MSG are absolutely comparable in intensity and feel overall more wholesome and family-friendly, at least from a distance.
nobody is calling the knicks classless scum for this
Oh yes I’m sure the people praising burning cars and assaulting people are the same people who don’t praise that here. This is such a moronic take that isn’t based in reality and is just made up by you.
I will use any excuse possible to hate on New Yorkers
People are downvoting but at least you’re being honest
BING BONG!
does anyone remember that channel that did on the street interviews after games?
Sidetalk
Thx homie
Please just let it die
Just accept it. You don’t need to participate, but let people have fun. No one is getting hurt.
Except for that one guy who got a trash thrown at him
It’s fine I accept that it happens, I just don’t enjoy it anymore because it doesn’t seem natural. It just feels like a lot of people trying to get attention and go viral.
Thats ridicoulus.
Most fan bases are useless now a days. Knicks fans still show up and act like actual fans.
The day MSG is just filled with corporate assholes is the day I lose my fandom
I mean, yes, I agree with the last statement, but I also think influencers trying to to go viral isn’t great either
JALEN BRUNSON IMMA POUR HONEY ON YOU
Everyone roleplaying it in 2026 isn’t good enough?
NYC gonna riot when Knicks lose in Finals aren’t they…
They’re gonna riot if they make the finals 😭
Question is, will it outdo the Canucks riots?
Yes 100% and I cannot wait :D
New Yorkers are a different breed
Idk why everyone is assuming they can’t beat OKC or the Spurs….both of those teams are banged up, and even healthy neither of them are the KD Warriors or some ridiculous unbeatable team
This sub was picking Philly to beat them
When Atlanta was up 2-1 I saw post about how Knicks can’t win because Jalen Brunson’s size lol
who the hell picked the exhausted, hobbled sixers after a 7 game series, against the rested, best iteration of the knicks we have seen in years and years?
This sub is extreme prisoners of the moment. Them beating Boston and embiid putting up 30 had people way overreacting.
They’re all fools. Always pick against Embiid in the 2nd round. It’s in the law.
they’re never prisoners of a moment where the knicks win a game though
The majority didn’t, the comment is just the classic victim complex fans have thinking the world is against their favorite team
No one
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/6PdaVSnpdv
I don’t think anyone said that
lol not even Philly fans had a hope we’d take the Knicks.
Did they? I didn’t even see Philly fans saying that
Because both of the Western Conference teams are far better than Cleveland. Do you want to face the team that’s perfectly constructed with a super deep roster or the other team that’s a defensive juggernaut with a guy that’s literally Wilt Chamberlain if he were a far better shooter and taller than Wilt? Sorry to say neither of these matchups are favorable for the Knicks.
we just assume cause its the funniest outcome
Ah let em have a bit of fun, come on. This is the best thing that’s happened to their team in ages. I say this as someone who very much wants the Knicks to lose in the finals.
Every loss? Or just after 4?
Belt to asphalt
This is way better
Belt to ass
I’m starting to worry Knicks fans just like to get drunk.
We like to drink AND watch basketball
in that order.
*New Yorkers
As a New Yorker, can confirm that New Yorkers like to drink and watch basketball
Cheers buddy and fuck the celtics.
Beltúaz
A spurs Knicks finals would destroy the planet
Nba cup rematch
1999 rematch young buck
Was at game 3 and im not that young anymore.
why can’t both be a rematch?
Wemby 50 bomb in MSG 🤩
With a L
Didn’t that happen last Christmas
Big ass women Vs belt to ass Knickerbocker
I think okc would be more destructive because of all their unethical ways of winning.
It’s fun but marred by the knowledge it’s just tryhard fans trying to be the next sidetalk.
There’s millions of us. This was happening all over the tri state, even ststen.
For game 2? Y’all are starved. God bless you.
Man it’s always so god damn negative here. This is hilarious
What’s a try hard fan?
Didn’t know you could be a try hard as a fan.
I don’t disagree but this just seems like a regular dudes phone video
Or it’s just fun? Y’all need to lighten up lol
Mother Gaia is not gonna like that one
She wrote NYC off long ago
Who knows, she might really like it. Don’t kink shame Mother Earth!
Wait I’m conflicted now bc I wanted spurs to win it all, but if Knicks win the finals in Mamdanis 1st year as mayor that will be immaculate
I fly to New York every August for a live fantasy football draft with some friends who are locals. They are all like this.
I’d be happy to see the Knicks take it all this year but their fans are going to be insufferable.
As is their right if they do win it, we were fairly insufferable after winning our chip recently so it’s only fair.
Correct
but their fans are going to be insufferable
What fanbase isn’t after winning a chip? Like come on now every year the nba fanbase turns against whoever won, it’s an annual occurrence at this point
At least we’re used to the nba fanbase hating us for decades so it won’t feel that much different lol
6 wins away from the city turning into Gotham.
these kids are spoiled brats getting to experience ECF like it’s a regular thing. I was happy to get playoff basketball when i was their age hahaha good times overall
We cannot have them win
Should’ve done something about it. You blew your chance.
I’ll bring this up to Joe in the next team meeting
Tell him I said, Y’all had the last 5 years. The next 5 is ours
He said he doesn’t care
Just wait until you guys beat Philly in Game 9. NYC doesn’t know what kind of hurt it’s in for
YERRRRRRRD
Give belt 😭😂😂
As a heat fan in New England, please let the fucking Knicks win, I wanna go to the parade
I still can’t believe Atkinson didn’t call a timeout during that run at the end of regulation in Game 1.
Legitimately might get him fired, similar to Thibs getting fired even though he led the Knicks to the ECF
Thibs never did anything that egregiously stupid
True. The only similarity would be the “thanks for taking our team the farthest it’s been awhile, but we don’t think we’ll win a championship with you so see ya”
Say what you will about Bickerstaff, at least he would have called a timeout in that situation lmao
I’m a New Yorker, but these fans outside the stadiums in every city are the worst
Them and Arsenal winning the championship will be bad for society
They’re a kind of special.
Knicks and arsenal winning their respective titles isn’t something I think I can cope with in big 2026.
This city will implode if they win it all.
I have to hand it to NY, every win is a celebration bigger than the last.
This run needs to keep going purely for the top tier debauchery happening in NYC after the games
Wait till Greta sees this
It feels weird that I’m rooting for this team
And you guys think Philly/Eagles fans are bad. If Cavs lose. Harden Legacy is tarnished.
BTA!!!!
Yeah we’re getting swept and Kenny is getting fired
Sweep the cavs only to get swept by OKC or SA
god damn I wanna be there. keep shining on you drunk diamond Knick fans.
Are all Knicks fan either insanely famous or 17?
Weren’t the 1 seed pistons also up 2-0?
Yes but the Knicks aren’t losing to the Cavs lol. Just. A bad matchup. Maybe 5 games.
Lots of dudes
Gonna be some amazing meltdowns filmed of Knicks fans after they get swept in the Finals.
This the only time I see New Yorkers together and agree on something lol
It corny to just copy someone else’s celebration. Reminds me of how the turnover chain went the way of the word “woke”.
Damn, I might even root for the thunder in the finals
New York City is NOT ready for a Knicks championship 😭
NYC fanbases always seems to have a much higher male:female ratio
I’m happy for them… quit wasting the drinks lol
They might have to shut the entire city down if they win the finals this year. New York would be a no fly zone for a solid week.
Love the organic NY energy of the OG Sidetalk vids, but now a lot of it seems like fans trying shit just to go viral and get views 😂
Oh I thought we were awarding the earth with a championship belt of some kind for the good fortune. I didn’t realize they were beating the earth with a belt like Xerxes.
I love the Knicks but we gotta scale this back a little
man that looks fun, i’m not even a knicks fan.
but i love me some KAT, so i’m cheering for them the rest of this year
Can’t wait for Dolan to help us all out and fix this winning thing.
Fuck em
