At a recent live podcast event in Central Park hosted by Knicks players Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, fans erupted in a chant of 'F*ck Embiid' directed at Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid. This display of animosity is rooted in the rivalry between the Knicks and 76ers, particularly following the Knicks' victory over Philadelphia in the first round of the 2023-24 NBA playoffs. The chant was met with enthusiasm from Hart, who encouraged the crowd, highlighting the ongoing tension between the teams. Despite Embiid's impressive individual performance, he was unable to lead his team past the Knicks in the playoffs, fueling fan frustrations. The Knicks will face the 76ers again in the upcoming season, with the first matchup scheduled for November 12. This incident underscores the passionate and sometimes aggressive nature of Knicks fans towards rival players, especially following playoff successes.
