Amazon Prime NBA crew mocks New York Knicks' NBA Cup title

The New York Knicks secured their first title in decades after capturing the NBA Cup this week. However, there were mixed reactions across the NBA landscape about how the franchise should celebrate.

For the first time since the 1973 season, the Knicks were crowned winners at the NBA Cup after beating the San Antonio Spurs.

There was great debate amongst the fanbase about potentially raising a championship banner, however, the Knicks franchise opted not to do so. Amazon Prime’s NBA coverage had some fun with the debate Friday night before New York’s loss against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Taylor Rooks and the NBA coverage team raised a fake title banner and proceeded to semi mock the New York Knicks despite their on-court success.

The Knicks own the second-best record in the Eastern Conference this season, 19-8. However, the Detroit Pistons have been dominant throughout and hold a two-game lead for the top spot in the East.

Star guard Jalen Brunson and Co. are hoping to deliver the Knicks their first NBA title in over half a century this season with a loaded roster. Tom Thibadeau has the team playing excellent, but until the New York Knicks overcome this hurdle fans will be craving more.
