The New York Knicks lead 2-0 against the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals, nearing a championship win which they haven’t achieved since 1973. As the series heads to Madison Square Garden for Game 3, fans are expressing their confidence openly.
However, there have been unconventional displays of this confidence. A notable incident involved sending an OnlyFans model a Patrick Ewing jersey and paying her to perform in it. While some may question if this shows overconfidence, the event has already taken place.
Following the Knicks’ victory in Game 2 on June 5, 2026, fans celebrated enthusiastically across New York City and at Madison Square Garden. This led to several arrests as fans climbed structures during celebrations.
Courtney Tillia, the model involved in the jersey incident, stated that she fulfilled a content request from a Knicks fan. She charges $150 for every five minutes of custom video content, earning $300 for a 10-minute clip in this case.
Tillia emphasized that she doesn’t hold responsibility if the Knicks fail in the series, stating, “I love New York and New York fans, so I was happy to do any Knicks-related content. It’s good for business when fans are this excited.”
As for the fans, their confidence in the Knicks seems high. Though some, like commentator Sean Joseph, prefer caution until the series concludes, the team’s current performance has undoubtedly rallied fan support.
