NYC Names Streets for Knicks' 2025 Playoff Run

New York City has temporarily co-named Manhattan streets after each of the 15 New York Knicks players, with street assignments matching their jersey numbers, to celebrate the team's first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 25 years. Mayor Eric Adams and the Department of Transportation unveiled blue-and-orange signs such as 'Jalen Brunson Boulevard' at West 11th Street and 'Karl-Anthony Towns Square' at West 32nd Street. The signs will remain for the duration of the Knicks' playoff run as they pursue their first NBA championship since 1973. The Knicks reached the conference finals by defeating the Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics. They are set to host the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 at Madison Square Garden, with excitement and citywide celebrations underway. The initiative highlights the city's enthusiasm and serves as a tribute to the players' contributions during this historic postseason.
