Knicks Fan Fighting With Police in The Streets Following The Second Night of Game 3 Loss
48 hours ago these guys were on top of the world, everyone loved them and it felt like everyone outside of San Antonio was rooting for them to win it all. Now? Feels like everyone wants them to lose and that no matter what happens, the situation is going to get out of hand.
Heck, even us Spurs fans were fine with Knicks winning a couple days ago. We know we have a young team that might not be ready yet, and Knicks would’ve deserved the win. Those fans are the dregs of society though
So this is why the basketball gods have made Knicks fans go forever between titles: because all their fans were just gonna make complete dicks of themselves and attack everyone around them.
I had the same thought š imagine what a Knicks dynasty would do to the city
Silver lining, we might get a batman out of it.
which billionaire do you want protecting the city?
Is Melinda Gates still a billionaire or did she donate it already?
She’s still a multi-billionaire ($30bn+) despite her philanthropy.
āAll their fansā is stupid and yk it. Its the biggest dense metro area in the world, of course there are some degenerates. But its no more in proportion to any other place.
itās clearly not all knicks fans and that distinction doesnt need to be made to any rational person.
that being said, it is a large number of fans doing this and it rightfully so reflects negatively on the fanbase. I have seen 3 separate videos ive seen of groups of knicks fans attacking spurs fans, and the city police. the game 3 fan reaction is both noteworthy and classless.Ā
Its the biggest dense metro area in the world
Just an aside, this is not remotely factual.
Honestly the same dickheads in Knicks gear causing trouble are going to be causing trouble at a music festival because a bands cuts its set short. Some people just suck.
Agree, some people just need the excuse (eg the chaotic events) to start acting as a mob. They are parasites and no matter the Knicks win or lose, they will get their excuse to attack any other people
Yeah they donāt know how to appreciate a win like LA does.
At least yall just loot stores and burn cars, these knicks fans are making yall look tame lol
Anyone that’s been paying attention to how knicks fans act knew it would devolve into this lol.
A few loud moments always go viral, but they donāt really represent the whole fanbase or the vibe most people are actually having.
whether you like it or not, those people are going to be the first ones somebody will think of when they hear āknicks fanā
Yeah, I was saying this same thing. Originally I was fine if they won because itād be great for them. But then they came to SA and acted like assholes attacking Spurs fans in the city and again in New York so now I desperately want to see them lose so the toxic fans donāt get to experience a championship
āBasketball is better when the knicks are goodā
whoops go back go back
Narrator: It wasn’t.
“Wait not this good!!! we went too far!!”
Boston and Philly fans saw this coming a mile away
Yeah we actually did. Northeast fans know what Knicks are like. Theyāve been like this for the past few seasons
Pacers fans knew too
I’m fucking shocked that whole NBA world didn’t. At least the pity party is over now and we can stop pretending.
Yeah people were asking who would you root for if the Knicks and OKC were in the finals. I don’t think I’ve ever even interacted with a OKC fan in person not even comparable.
You go into the Wemby elbowing Brunson thread you will think everyone wants the Knicks to win.
You go into Knicks fans behaving like criminals threads you will think everyone wants the Spurs to win.
Itās all about the discourse you choose to participate in
Honestly, this is the danger of social media in general. Everything is an echo chamber. Your algorithm feeds you more content because you āengagedā with something similar, even if that means you watched it because of how insane it was. Suddenly, a young impressionable person is fed more and more of that content untilā¦ hmmā¦ maybe itās not so insane?
Reddit is insane, Twitter is insane, Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook–completely full of nutjobs. 4chan–obviously. Cesspit. Tumblr insanity is at least usually not racist, more people thinking they’re dogs who are also My Little Pony characters. But it’s hardly better in real life. I mean, all the online freaks are very much roaming out and about, LOL. Welcome to the future!
It’s not all bad. I feel like the average person is funnier now than before. And there’s some diamonds in the rough.
But they definitely, definitely aren’t on Reddit, hah. I probably should get off this website.
these sidetalk wannabes are all shitheads and deserve to be locked up. But at the same time this sub has been seeing Facebook levels of misinformation and troll posts since the wcf started.
Perfect example, this video claims to be from today, a day after the Knicks already lost game 3, but then they dub in a āKnicks in 4ā chant at the end.
Thank you, this sub has been off the rails
algohythm ragebait
i wondering about when that video was actually filmed, couldve been yesterday, couldve been 3 years ago
Itās insane how the world forgot just how shitty these knicks fans are, they did the exact same thing last playoffs in the ECF.
They were jumping pacer fans and celebrating ANY injury the opposing team had loud and proud.
It’s taken so much energy after Trump already did. What happens after game 4 feels like a legit story already hopefully this shit settles down.
Everyone outside of San Antonio rooting for them??? Theyāre a NY team. No one wants NY to win, especially the Knicks
See: all of these videos. This isnāt a ānewā thing. Itās been happening during normal Eastern series for the past few years as well
a large portion of these groups that are swarming the streets to ācelebrateā are some of the most annoying, entitled brats with main character syndrome. theyāre all trying to get a viral clip and donāt care what lines they cross to get it.
itās happened in the past and many fans knew it was gonna happen again. you could argue the players are likable, but the fanbase has so many bad apples. rooting for the spurs to sweep them in humiliating fashion was an easy choice
This guy is a fucking idiot like thereās 8 cops and youāre trying to wrestle one good luck in fucking prison dumbass
Imagine catching felony charges over a basketball game.
Hey now, itās the day after that basketball game!Ā
Emotions are still super high!!Ā
Hopefully the ones assaulting the Spurs fans join him.
A basketball game you didnt even play in!
I’d say what a dumb reason to throw your life away but let’s be honest there wasn’t much there for this guy to begin with
He probably thought the mob was gonna swarm the cops once he started. What a dumbass
They call it a fucking prison for a reason ( Ķ”~ ĶŹ Ķ”Ā°)
I wonder what his cellmate is going to think when he tells them his basketball team lost so he decided to attack a cop.
Have fun in Manhattan Central Booking bro
ya the city might be up in flames if it goes game 7 and wemby hits the game winner
Saddest bang bang by Mike Breen of all time
#BANG
voice cracks
^bang
Followed by absolute silence. Lol man I love Mike Breen so at least he’ll be ecstatic if Knick wins this chip
I thought this going a darker route.
I wonder what he would do in that scenario. He is a pro and remains mostly unbiased as much as he can be, but that’s nxet level.
I canāt decide if there will be more chaos if they win or if they lose.
I lived a few blocks from Fenway Park during the angry riot of 2003 when the Red Sox lost to the Yankees in game 7 of the ALCS and the happy riot of 2004 when they won the World Series, there was very little difference between the two.
Cars were flipped, fires were lit in the streets, stuff was trashed, but I donāt remember anyone trying to fight the police.
Cell phones didnt have good cameras. 100% drunk Boston men tried to fight cops
At least where I was over in Kenmore square the cops were in a shoulder to shoulder wall and when they decided it was time to break things up the horses came in and mounted cops just started clubbing people. It was a sight, some real medieval shit.
But yeah with modern cell cameras and the state of social media Iām sure there would be even more people starting shit for views if that were to happen today.
Yes.
Knicks might tear down the statue of Liberty
Sheās tall, and sheās French. Thatās enough for me, god damnit!
Game 6. Having it happen on their court would elevate it even more.
[removed]
Unless I hear anyone from the Knicks management say anything about their fan base then go spurs and fuck the Knicks.
knicks management has since actually doubled down on their behavior lmao
Not sure why people blame the new generation. When nuggets won, the most violence I saw was a guy climbing a light post and injuring himself šš. Then again weāre all shroomed out all the time
Aaron Gordon will always be the highlight of those postgame celebrations. Mr Nugget was and still is a man of the people
9 people got shot in Denver the night the nuggets won.
Was this related to the celebration? Or just in the city thatās how many shootings happened? And is this higher than the daily average?Ā
Oh I remember this one. These shootings happened well after the celebrations had ended, and were found to be unrelated.
Iām pretty sure I would remember that. But then again Iām shroomed out
Nah you all forgot about the Suns in 4 fight:
https://youtu.be/DdgwBKodQ0w?si=YzxuatuL5fUW-EHL
Sorry to break it to you but we have dolan as an owner so you already know the response šæ
blames mamdani and the nypd despite ruining the vibes himself
The OG fans been suffering for decades and stayed loyal. These new kids are different, just using the Knicks an excuse to do dumb shit and make poor attempts at going viral.
It reminds me of people taking advantage of the George Floyd protests to smash windows and loot. These people feed on any opportunity for mayhem and violence. Seeing all the phones out recording adds to the dystopian feel. Not sure weād see this many decades ago.
For real, these fans are too much, what are they going to do if they win, burn their own city down, they’re too much
Emphasis on these people. The biggest downside with the Knicksā Finals run is the incredible amount of bandwagoners and clout chasers that have hopped on board. It sucks how any positive vibes surrounding this team have been crushed by these assholes and Trump.
The vibes around the Knicks were so great like 2 days ago, even to a non Knicks fan like me.
Now? I hope they lose the next 3 idc if thatās an irrational take based on non basketball stuff. Fuck these fans in all these videos acting like losers.
knew the bad batch of knicks fans were out when i was getting threatened for criticizing Melo lmao
This sub has been overrun with knicks fans recently. Saw a super upvoted comment a few days ago calling Wemby “the dirtiest player in the NBA in decades”. Whole sub got brain damage
I feel like a major push of that comes from OKC fans
The overreaction to flagrant 1 fouls is something you constantly see on here. Those people are just utterly ridiculous. Wemby is just a kid. He gets constantly hacked, held and pushed and lost his temper.
That does not make a fucking batman villain. Now, hopefully he learns better how to control his emotions as he ages, but some people here need to seriously go outside and get some perspective.
that was probably also upvoted by okc fans fwiw
Even casuals arguing over the Brunson flagrant 1. Itās literally in the rule book and been called that way all year if they bothered to watch a gameā¦
Honest question, why are the Knicks fans fighting so much?
Iām from the Bay, and maybe its rose tinted glasses but I donāt remember things being like this in 2015
Sidetalk that started the “look at how crazy knicks fans are!!” and now a bunch of wannabes came out who try to artificially go viral.
a bunch of clout chasing losers who incite dangerous shit that unfortunately led to many spurs fans being hurt on the process.
It also sprouted any time they played the Trae Young Hawks lol. That was just a sneak peak
It’s a perfect storm of school being over, beautiful weather, anti social behavior, and a “once in a lifetime” event.
As a result, the trash is out in full force.
Sidetalk
The SF Giants winning three World Series in a (kinda) row directly before that Warriors run is the polar opposite of what NY sports have been for 15 years
How could Mamdani and the NYPD do this
total disregard, even Bloomberg got attacked at the game
New layer to Grand Theft Alvarado
The amount of people mad at the NYPD even here is kinda nuts, to be fair.Ā Ā
It is possible to both think attacking cops is very stupid and bad but also that the NYPD is an overbloated and often useless organization.
Of all the choices that could’ve been made, attacking a cop is certainly one of them
At least one of these idiots is going to face actual consequences to their actionsĀ
They are going to damage the city if they win the chip, I remember that happening in LA when the Lakers won in 2000.
They are also going to damage the city if they lose the chip, lmao
Itās gonna be bad bad.
Like, why though? I dont understand why New Yorkers are the way they are.
It’s mainly 2 things:
(1) Northeast fanbases in general are rowdy. Of course, even among Northeast fanbases, most ppl are chill… but they generally have a higher proportion of hooligans than other fanbases. You’ll see a lot of craziness from NY/Boston/Philly fans, not just NY.
(2) But as for why NY fans are particularly bad, I think it’s mainly a function of the population density of the city. There is no city in America that is as packed, busy, and bustling as NYC… so large packs and mobs of rabid fans form very quickly. Humans act crazier in packs – when mob mentality takes over and foments bad behavior. That’s why you see particularly outsized violence and unhinged behavior from Knicks fans.
That’s my best assessment of the situation. And of course, stuff like Sidetalk has goaded ppl on even more. And the Knicks sucking for a while means there’s tons of pent up energy.
NYC is also overrun by would-be influencers and doing this shit is a way to go viral, as evidenced by this post
Yeah, lots of wannabe main character types in NYC as well. Thatās another factor.
Because the city of New York is desperate for a chip in any of the big 3 sports.
Right, but the question is why does that mean destroy shit and hurt people
these animals don’t ask themselves that question. just look at Paris days ago lol. As long as you have a crowd outside, you have people just breaking/stealing/attacking.
You know the saying “ act like you’ve been here before”? Most Knicks fans have never been here before
This happens basically any time the Lakers or dodgers win a title tho tbf
Ohtani and Lebron literally a domestic terrorist cell
Tbf we only did that when we won, not lost lol
And not after every game starting from the first round either. Just only after the finals lol.
Feel like it could be worse if they lose lol
Bro I hope the Brooklyn Nets win a championship before the Knicks
I hope the Nets move back to Jersey and ONLY THEN win it allĀ
Nobody wants the brooklyn nets to win but the new jersey nets would be nice to see win sometime
Thatās never going to happen, even as the clear #2 little brother and small segment fan base in general they still generate way more revenue and sell way more tickets than they ever did in NJ.
This is what r/nfl thinks eagles fans are. Those guys in that sub are fucking dumb but not dumber than these ass holes
Eagles fans harass anyone in an opposing jersey but they don’t try to murder in hoards of people. Give them a cookie
Thatās how itās supposed to be. You know what youāre doing wearing an opposing jersey in Philadelphia. I wouldnāt think that a roving gang of eagles fans would hunt you down though. Some of my fondest memories are bengals and Steelers fans walking through the browns tailgate. Everyone ribbed them. It was great.
Been going to games my entire life and I’ve never seen a horde of Eagles fans surround and physically assault another team’s scared fans like I’ve seen multiple times in the last 24 hours from NYK fans.
Fights should be between willing douchebag participants, not mobs of one team assaulting someone who’s just there to have a good time and looks scared for their life.
Eagles fans are definitely the wrong messengers on this topic.
Youāre not getting jumped by a mob of people after every single eagles game for wearing an opposing jerseyĀ
I can promise you thatās not true lol

š¤
Read the article and watch the videos on this sub theyāre not the same š¤£
We donāt know what the horse did first
They are really doing this over a basketball game lol. A bunch of low life weirdos
Knicks fans speed running their team to most hated for literally no reason
Knicks pr has had one of the biggest drops in the span of 1-2 days Iāve seen
Guarantee 90% of these people havenāt watched a minute of basketball all season and are using all the chaos around the city as an excuse to cause problems just bc they want to
are they chanting Knicks in 4?
Those poor Knicks fans šš can’t the police just let them assault Pacers Cavs Spurs fans in peace??
Spurs gotta save basketball again /s
This unironically. It takes a lot for me to root for the Spurs, but the Knicks fans have pushed me to it
the more closer this series goes, the more it becomes gotham city
They are chanting Knicks in 4. I think they legit lost their minds.
This was probably during the game
The title makes it seem like it was after the game.
So the OP posted misleading shit I guess. A lot of people are reposting old clips claiming it was from last night to push an agenda of all million Knicks fans being awful people.
The title from OP makes it sound like this happened last night, right? Yet no one in this thread questioning why thereās a mob of fans with bighead cutouts on a random Tuesday??
Que the Toy Story song āYou got a felony.ā By Randy Neuman
This shit embarrasses this shit out of me as a New Yorker smh
Why are you like this?
Bros never lived in either city
There were 200,000 people in the streets after the game. Even if 99.9% of people behave themselves, that still means 200 people like this causing trouble. Itās not ok, but itās also not the fan base. These people donāt give a shit about the game. These are young dudes who are looking for an excuse to act out in an environment where they think they can get away with it.
People realized long ago arrogant young men were a threat to society. Thatās why they were conscripted into the military, so they could channel their energy into being threats to *other* societies.
This shit is embarrassing. Using an excuse like a fucking game to behave like this, smh. At least the criminals are outing themselves as criminals.
Fuck this man, Iām switching to the Spurs on this one. Absolutely horrible fanbase
Knicks fans weren’t kidding when they said their city is going to burn to the ground regardless of the outcome.
New York is not real
Spurs fans would never. First, we got cars. Second, we’d be pretty winded after a few minutes of this.
Anyone else kinda hoping the spurs reverse sweep now? š®āšØ
Yeah fight the cops not spurs fans
How about not fighting at all? Ever thought of that?
These guys are savages.
Itās morally wrong but itās kinda hilarious seeing New York fall to pieces over some basketball š
Are most of these people coming from outside of Midtown Manhattan? ā¦wait, i just made an assumption this was an n Midtown. I dont know NY that well
Worst fanbase on the planet and it’s not even remotely close. They did the same thing to Pacers fans last year.
Man I was actually rooting for NY until I saw these videos
Celebrating the World Cup by becoming hooligans is definitely a choice.
NYC is off the hook. You guys are crazy and not in a good way either
Starting to wonder why I ever complained about Thunder fans for anything whatsoever.
I hate kids these days man. All these fucking morons with their phones out adding to the chaos chasing clout. Animals.
Smfh
Hate the Knicks now
Does every video need its own thread? I am rooting for Wemby because I like his skill set. I’ll probably get sick of his success in a few years.
But must we belabor some ruffians in Knicks jerseys? Yes, they are bad actors and jerks. Blah blah, they don’t represent all Knicks fans. If you’re already decided on who you want to win, there’s probably no convincing to change your mind.
I just want to see competitive basketball and maybe some Cardi D’s.
I feel like that video of plankton being introduced to his 10000 member family but instead its shitty knicks fans who wanna ruin it for everybody else cause they can’t act like a decent human being.
If they lose game 4ā¦. Oh mama. Lol
The people pulling this crap aren’t fans. They’re people looking for an excuse to create mayhem. The playoffs are just their excuse. It’s the same idiots who’ll be out burning shit if the Knicks win.
So so fucking embarrassing.
Can’t believe Knicks fans have me rooting for the fucking Spurs now.Ā And the NYPD?Ā Ā
Fucking trash ass fans damn.
Smooth brain Knicks fans equate success of local sports teams to personal toughness and importance.
This kind of stuff makes it almost appropriate if they dont end up winning the series because of the sheer stupidity that would unfold
Fk that fan he deserves to get all his teeth smashed out.
Sports mobs in general are out of control. You can try to rank which city is the worst but quite frankly this behavior is everywhere.
I kinda want the Knicks to lose just to see how New York riots
Shit down the streets
What a fucking moron. And channels like Sidetalk only exist to enable behavior like that.
All that āaw shucks lovable Knicks fansā shit out the window now huh?
Seriously had been rooting for the Knicks before the series started. Fuck that, I hope Spurs sweep the next 3. Fuck NY!
Animals
Couldnāt pay me enough to be a cop in NYC right now. Iād fucking quit.
If there ever was a crowd where batons and pepper spray should actually be used on, thisād be it.
I picture NYC in flames if they really do end up blowing a 2-0 lead
burning any goodwill that existed in record time, well done knicks fans
Imagine getting a felony for assault on PO over a basketball game.
Gonna see this posted on Twitter and threads as proof āNew York has fallen to the Muslimsā or some shit.
Is this the future of humanity?
A bunch of animals jumping around like goats with their arms extended holding a phone livestreaming their shit 24⁄7?
