The New York Knicks took down the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of their second-round playoff series. This marks the first time since 2000 that the Knicks will be playing in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the team will hold home-court advantage in the series.
Following the Game 6 win, Knicks fans took to the streets of New York to celebrate. In typical fashion, New York fans flooded the streets to show off their happiness with the team.
For the media members inside Madison Square Garden, this meant having to navigate through all the fans to get out. For ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst, this turned into a viral interaction with a New York fan.
Just before the interaction occurred, it seems that Windhorst had made comments that didn’t age well. Windhorst said that he was just walking to his hotel and that he would be fine.
“Thanks to Jackson and Zach, our producers, who came here to the Garden tonight and are going out to humanity. I’m just walking to my hotel, I’ll be fine.”
Windhorst was asked what he thought about the series, but before he could answer, the fan interrupted him. The Knicks fan then began a series of expletives, roasting the ESPN insider.
