Mike Brown gets a hero’s welcome (and a chorus of “Who Let The Dogs Out?”) at a restaurant in NYC
Welcome to your life for at least a year lol
Try forever buddy. This city is never going to forget any of these guys.
OG Anunoby gonna be the new generation Dave Debusschere.
Real question is which player is gonna end up in the senate.
James Dolan, because politics is hell.
He’s a bit young to be president though.
Mitch would be one of the smarter Republican senators
Lmfao. “Senator Robinson unfortunately cannot attend today’s floor vote for mental health reasons, he needs to vague post about people backstabbing him on IG and post truck pictures”
Don’t forget AI posts on Facebook
Is he an NBA player or midwestern aunt?
Yes
To be fair this sounds like extremely typical GOP representative behavior lmao
Still better than Rep. Tom Kean Jr., who hasn’t showed up for months for reasons.
KAT is gonna be our Dollar Bill Bradley
Jose Alvarado
Oh shit, i can actually totally see that
I generally the main options Claire Valdez, Julie Won, Reynoso, etc but he’d win that primary in a heart beat with zero campaign lol
Just get introduced as Knicks champion Jose Alvarado. He’ll have the NYC Puerto Rican vote locked up and probably some of the Caribbean diaspora as well cause island support island. I can see him pushing to get PR admitted as a state, which it honestly should be. PR to the Miami is 3 hours and HI to LA is 7 hours. So distance shouldn’t be a factor.
Tyler Kolek
Hart.
Big facts, they are legends in the city , forever and ever.
Mike Brown and everyone on the Knicks (esp the starting 5 and Jose Alvarado) will NEVER have to pay for anything, nor getting any traffic ticket for the rest of their life). And the Jalen Brunson special will be the on every Bodega in NYC and the Borough for life. The question is how much discount in stores will Alvarado will get in Dyckman, or KAT will get in East Harlem/Bronx? (if you all don’t know/not from that area, its the Puerto Rican/Dominican “rivalry” between the two.
I hope this restaurant will know wassup and comp their meal.
Honestly you can add Mitch and Shamet to that list too.
And don’t forget Fox.
No love for Jordan Clarkson? 😢
No doubt. These dudes on the ‘26 Knicks are all legends in the city now
You guys haven’t let down Trae Young even after all these years lmao.
I’m pretty sure there was a shot of some fans in the Sidetalk video of the championship celebration still hating on Trae lol. At this point I admire the commitment to hating him
[deleted]
Nah dude we were chanting Fuck Trae Young in them streets on Saturday lol
The crazy part is he was the Lakers head coach more than 10 years ago. Didn’t end well. Never would have thought he would win a championship anywhere, much less in New York.
Same here. When he coached the Cavs I thought he was the biggest joke ever because I figured you could literally have a 2 year old child be coach and Lebron would take the team to the finals. Glad to see I was wrong.
He grew a lot as an assistant with the Warriors and HC for Kings. He talks about it in an interview.
Fuck me, I just made the connection. Seriously though that is crazy. Forgot he coached the Lakers until now but of course now I remember
For real, the strikes me as the type of title where the Knicks could revert back to “strong, but not true contender status’ for the rest of this cores run and the city will still forgive them thanks to this run.
They could have their powers sucked away by the Monstars and never get em back and the city will love them forever
I hope Danhausen would curse the Monstars then
I think he meant people giving a standing ovation and chanting ‘Who Let the Dogs Out’ at him. That will not be forever
Forever, tbh.
I’d think the standing ovations probably die down after awhile at least, but I’m sure he’ll never pay for another dinner there.
This is New York my guy. It’s for LIFE.
Shoutouts to Scott Brosius.
Chuck Knoblauch too
I ain’t even like the Knicks but I’m in nyc and they heroes for me lol. The vibes in the city are unreal. Legends just for that. This place is negative af generally and rarely comes together. These mofos fixed that for a month
These guys will be immortalized for the rest of their lives.
I know what you mean, but I can’t resist. I can hear Jerry Seinfeld:
Immortalized the rest of my life? I’m going to be alive the rest of my life! I need to be immortal after my life!
What’s the deal with Grape-Nuts?
He’s getting a statue one day, my dude
There’s going to be one of the whole starting 5 and him lol
It’s been 50 years man going to be a lot longer than 1 year
Crazy thing is he was so ready to get into it, I think he would love a year of this happening in public Everytime he’s seen
Forever. The city still loves Eli Manning. Joe Naismith. Ewing. Etc. This team will be immortalized
Somewhere Al Roker is wondering why New Yorkers are randomly applauding him this week
“Thank you but it’s 88 and humid with thunderstorms today”
Na, Al Roker lost a lot of weight, he looks much thinner now
He’s also a foot shorter
I think you mean a foot sharter.
I get the weight, but how did he lose height?
They took his shins in dubya dubya two.
20 years ago.
he predicts snow
I bet that meal was on the house.
Impromptu, public, standing ovations are serious respect.
In New York especially! We take pride in ignoring everybody lol
Crucial point - part of our ethic is never acknowledging celebrities in public. With that said if I run into Brunson I am telling him he is my hero forever and ever now IDC lol
In NY Knicks are not celebrities they’re the closest things to The Avengers after saving the world.
Wemby is an evil space elf
How about other NY teams? Would the average new yorker care about meeting someone from a championship team like from the Yankees, Islanders, etc.?
Jeter. Jeter was the king of new york in the late 90s into the 00’s
Used to see jeter out and about all the time growing up. My friend jumped on him in chase bank on e 86th his security guard was 😤😤😤 I think it was in 8th grade so around 1999 ha
Not the same. The Knicks are New York City.
This is why I love your city. I was at a bar in Brooklyn once talking ball with a buddy and Anthony Anderson introduced himself into the conversation. We didn’t even notice who he was until he chimed in. We sat for around three hours buying each other rounds talking hoops.
I was at a bar in NYC and Kenny The Jet Smith was there, he went to get a drink and I said “His moneys no good here” and bought him a drink. He was appreciative and that one drink meant I could talk hoops with him for about 15 minutes. Totally worth it.
Im telling him hes my step dad
He’s not your step dad he’s the dad that stepped up
people say that but it’s kinda BS. Even a low level celebrity like Tekashi 69 would get loads of attention when he’d walk around
Ehhh because he’s a clown. I ran into Rihanna and Rocky in soho just walking down the street and literally no one said shit lol. I didn’t even notice em, my sister pointed em out.
Yeah I used to see so many celebrities in Chelsea when I worked there. No one gave AF.
Everyone knows how the saying goes. “If you see something, look somewhere else. It’s the 4 train, we’ve all seen some shit”
Oh the 4 train. If Mike brown rode the 4 today he might get jacked
This is a fact.
the who let the dogs out bit is so corny dad coded i love it
Mike brown reminds me of a dad who tells his son, to rest up, they have a big day ahead of them.
This is part of the magic of winning in ny. Another part of the magic is they will be calling for his head with the next 4 game losing streak.
Lol true, though to be fair there’s lots of people in all fanbases who call for their coach’s head after a losing streak. My coworker’s a Spurs fan who has been going on and on about how much Mitch Johnson needs to be fired - this after he’s been comparing him to Pop for the last 3 months lol
Ha!
Well, let’s just put it this way – for me personally, would I want the chip next year? FUCK yes.
But if it didn’t happen I wouldn’t be crushed. Disappointed? Sure, but not devastated. After all, winning is hard and the league has had 8 different teams win it.
Whatever the case, we KNOW we have the talent to run it again.
Yeah same here. I feel like there’s no reason this team can’t be competitive for the next 2 seasons. Hopefully even if we don’t repeat we can make it back to the finals, but if we don’t I think I’ll be ok. Like you said disappointed not devastated
I kind of get both sides of this. The Spurs did just make the finals while a lot of people did not expect them to be there, but at the same they lost in historic fashion while Mitch Jones did not really adjust that much during crucial moments.
Would it be safe to say if Stephan A-hole (I intentionally call him that) or other talking head try to talk shit about the Knicks within the 5 years with no good reason, they will probably get pounded out of NYC?
Lol what? No. You guys are watching too many of those viral videos. Can’t overstate that there’s 20 million of us in the broader NY Metropolitan area. 20 million. A hundred people on 7th Ave looking for trouble is not reflective of how the other 20m of us have been experiencing this run. No ones punching Stephen A just walking down a random street in New York, no matter nonsense he may say
If anything Danhausen would just curse him again.
Yeah I got whiplash seeing the switch on Mitch haha
I will never ever ever call for this dudes head
Tell that to Tom Coughlin and Joe Torre.
Franchises that were use to winning and being successful. I will never ask anything else of this Knicks team. I sincerely mean that.
Everyone says that. Mike Budenholzer, Doug Pederson, Frank Vogel, Bellichick,etc. Sports fans have short memories
Thank you, MrPainfulAnal
I mean, I know our fan base, but after 53 years, I think this team will feel significantly less pressure. Who knows? I could be wrong.
Hell, as long as The Knicks stay good to great, it’s gonna be hard to complain.
I finally saw a professional sports team I root for win something for once.
Idgaf what happens in the future.
Stars won’t be afraid to go to the Knicks anymore, with fear of not getting that title. Lebron, here he comes ( And I don’t want him but you get it )
Some will. Because people are idiots. And we will make sure to remind them they are one when they do.
Absolutely not. NY gonna milk TF out this ring. They didn’t just win. They dominated. Everyone on that team is good for life
Baja Men making a comeback in 2026
Wouldn’t be surprised if they perfom at the parade.
*Baha Men. They’re from the Bahamas, not Baja California.
Baja Blast Men sponsored by Taco Bell
Hahaha my mistake
Hahaha
It’s not funny. Don’t make that mistake ever again. This shit is serious business.
mike about to be an honorary baja man
Imagine going from Sacramento to this lol. Living the dream!
Seriously, must be strange. I am so happy for him, though.
You know a coach truly won over New York when he gets a standing ovation and an impromtu chorus “Who Let The Dogs Out?” Just trying to have a nice dinner. Knicks fans are unmatched when they love someone
140 people upvoting this blatant AI comment that spells out to them what they just saw is baffling
I’m heartbroken, but happy this was the team we lost to. Love Mike Brown, KAT, Brunson, etc. happy for them.
For sure, great year for New York
Yeah losing sucks, but sucks extra extra hard when you have a historic choke against a team everyone hates
Source. Am blue jays fan
Really really hard not to like Mike Brown
Yeah, mad respect
Good for him. He’s from the pop tree, so i got Love for him.
Mike loves being a celebrity lol
He deserves it! By all accounts really kind to everybody
Mike Brown PR has changed forever now
Man Mike Brown deserves this so much.
Man I feel so dumb for ever doubting this dude
same man same.
was literally so pissed when he wasn’t playing mitch in round 1. im so fucking stupid 😭😂
At Polo Bar too…this is not the usual crowd of true believers.
What’s the food like at the Polo Bar?
Coach and family will probably forever eat for free in the city.
I miss him in The Dubs.
actually very good. strong cocktails, too. Not a ton of interesting dishes, but american classics done well in a very handsome setting
I’ll stick to gramercy tavern for Father’s Day then. Thanks.
Gramercy Tavern was really good the 4 or 5 times I’ve been there
Would agree with this. American classics elevated and executed very well.
Very good takes on American classics and the burger is a standout but there are better restaurants in the city. I do like that they only take reservations by phone, more hard to get reservations should do that as it’s more fair than trying to fight bots on resi.
And anyone in the back half of the millennial generation and younger is terrified of making phone calls, so you’ve got a good shot!
Baha Men getting their bag this year.
*Baha for Bahamas
Fox really got this brother fired. Glad he got the last laugh
These guys don’t realize yet - or maybe are just now beginning to realize - how their lives have changed. There is absolutely nothing like winning in New York, these guys are minted forever. Brunson most of all. But Mike Brown and all of them, it’s going to be a different life from here on out, they are royalty now. The access, the opportunities, the sheer number people who will want to hear from them etc it’s going to be a total night and day change in their lives. Must feel amazing.
They deserve it too, ngl it’s a beautiful thing
That man will never pay for a meal in that city again
This is so cool. I live near Sac and saw coach Brown out with his family twice (in the same week somehow!)
But he seems so genuine. Like your every day guy who just enjoys time out with his family. Never wanted to say anything to him because he had the little one running around and was just being a dad (granddad maybe? 😂)
Super kind and considerate to food workers, and anyone who yelled “hey coach” he smiled and waved. Just all around seems like a good dude
Guy never has to pay for anything ever again
i dont think non-new yorkers really understand what this meant, means, and will always mean for new york. its historic and honestly just impossible to put into words.
I wish we had a coach like that
Reminds me of the 1st class cars in Snowpiercer
The Kings are jackasses lol.
He wouldn’t be coach of the NBA Champs if we didn’t fire him.
There’s no other coach in the league i’d want to see with a permanent smile plastered on their face
I’m so happy for Mike Brown, he deserves this. Wish he was still our coach. The Kings firing him was the best thing for him though.
God I can’t imagine what it’s gonna be like to be those guys just existing in NYC.
A lot of the team appears to be married or in LT relationships, but this would’ve been prime time to be a male hoe
“Mike, Mike, mike, miiiike, Mike, miooke, Mike, Mike, miiiiike, Mike, moooke”
I was sad when they let him go in Sac. After winning coach of the year.
Its crazy this dude coached LeBron and never won a ring with him but with the Knicks, the franchise that failed to win for 53 years.
They better have picked up his tab… otherwise this is performative.
New York treating Mike Brown the way Cleveland always treated Tito is a wonderful thing to see.
Man what an awesome feeling!!!!!!
Awesome
Are the Baha Men still together? They should invite them to the parade lmao.
As a Cavs fan, I can’t help but smile and feel great for this guy. He was so integral to great memories in my life.. and I’m happy to see his sweet revenge over the Spurs!!!
That’s gotta be the best feeling in the world lol
Give this man the keys to the city
People will be barking at this man til’ the end of his days 😂😂
Best thing about this is that he’s not even slightly annoyed about it, I figured he would have rolled his eyes but dudes always ready to jump into a “who let the dogs out” chant, clearly
Mike Brown will be getting free meals for life at any NYC restaurant
When “and everybody clapped” is actually true
Cleveland fired this guy for literally no reason 😢
They wanted someone more analytical..
It’s wild that this happens at (what looks like) the Polo Club too, he isn’t safe anywhere for a lonnngggg time
Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike
As a Warriors fan, Congrats to Coach Mike Brown.
I’m happy for Mike brown
So Nerdy…in a good way and perfect for that team.
He made so many adjustments on the fly. On offense and defense. So much more experienced than when he was in Cleveland coaching LeBron.
Baha men gotta bring coach out on ring day 🤣
So awesome🥹
How did who let the dogs out become his song?
He coached a youth football team that was named the Dogs I believe so this was their chant, he got asked about it at the Finals media day and now we’re here.
I love Coach Brown. He actually makes the adjustments I’m pining for during games, maybe a couple minutes behind me but still. When I saw Brunson was being overwhelmed by the high intensity pressure double teams and wanted another ball handler to relieve him..in comes Jose. In the closeout game when we could buy a bucket and needed someone who could score, in comes Clarkson. Last year in the regular season I noticed Kat would make some high end passes but somehow didn’t see an of it in the playoffs last year. This year Mike utilizes as a cornerstone for our offensive run up to the finals (seemed to stop then)
I couldn’t believe he sang that at post game Trophy. I know he’s a bit of a goof, but …
That’s the polo club.
Happy for this guy that he’s now a champion.
Damn I enjoy seeing Mike Brown so happy lol
Does this happen with other cities, like OKC
I think its pretty safe to say he didn’t pay for that meal, or will he have to for many others going forward…
What restaurant is that?
What restaurant is this?
Looks like he’s at Ralph Lauren’s PoloBar
I have to admit I was totally wrong about Brown, I thought “they fired Thibs for slightly different Thibs?” and I was apparently way off on that.
Ever since I seen him sprinting down that court I knew his attitude was great
Kings of NYC!
Can any ody identify the restaurant lol?
There are definitely people in there standing up and clapping but don’t know why they’re doing it. “Oh wow, he’s the guy who wrote that song?”
He gets to coach the Knicks until retirement now right?
Does anyone know what restaurant this is it looks mad classy I wanna go
free food forever!
Man is going to have the same problem buying a beer for himself as Saint Nick Foles undoubtedly does in Philadelphia. Not a Knicks fan, but this year go Knicks! And of course, EAGLES!
This man isn’t paying for drinks this summer!
He can just leave his wallet at home in NYC. Will he ever have to pay for a drink or meal again?
So happy for Mike. Instant legend in winning it all
I feel like he’s the happiest out of everyone on the team. And its surprisingly cause he always seems like a serious guy, so I dig it
Thibs somewhere like “IT SHOULD’VE BEEN ME!”
The way the NBA works they’ll probably fire him if he doesn’t repeat
