Yesterday’s playoff game between the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers, led by Jalen Brunson, Knicks supporters celebrated in a unique yet familiar way outside Madison Square Garden. Despite the Knicks facing the 76ers, not a single Knicks fan forgot about Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks.

Trae Young‘s name was being chanted by the Knicks supporters, who were creating a sequel to the 2021 playoffs. The Knicks supporters, who have always used his name as a symbol of their animosity toward them, have not liked Young.
