In a unique move, the mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, temporarily co-named a few streets in Manhattan after players on the Knicks’ roster for the 2024-25 season. This move came to honor all the current players in the team as the Knicks advanced to the NBA<\/a> Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000. The city installed blue-and-orange street signs across 15 street corners, corresponding to the players’ jersey numbers. <\/p>

In a press conference, Adams said, “On the path to a championship, we recognize the hard work and determination that has gotten this team to the Eastern Conference finals and we’re celebrating this team by temporarily co-naming our city streets so all New Yorkers can celebrate their Knicks pride.” <\/em><\/p>

Notably, the Knicks finished the 2024-25 season in third position in the East with a 51-31 record. They began their playoff campaign by locking horns against the Detroit Pistons, and took them down 4-2. As they advanced to the semifinals, the reigning champions, Boston Celtics, were waiting for them. The Knicks moved past them with a 4-2 win and booked their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance since 2000. In the Conference finals, they are clashing against the Indiana Pacers. <\/p>
