New York’s Sports Energy Hits a Rookie
New York Giants’ first-round draft pick Abdul Carter is already feeling the electric atmosphere of New York sports—and it’s the Knicks who’ve got his full attention. With the team holding a 2-0 lead over the Boston Celtics in the NBA Playoffs, Carter couldn’t help but show his support.
“I’m Starting to Become a Fan”
Speaking ahead of Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, Carter praised the Knicks’ resilience, especially their back-to-back comeback wins in Boston. “Being up 2-0 right now versus the Celtics, the champions… they’re on a really good run,” he said. “I’m starting to become a fan.”
NYC Unity Through Sports
Still awaiting the signing of his $45.1M rookie contract, Carter might not be courtside just yet—but his message was clear: he’s buying into the Knicks’ momentum and the larger New York sports culture. As a new face in the city, Carter’s public support reflects the unity and buzz surrounding this Knicks postseason run.
Battle Far From Over
Despite their advantage, the Knicks aren’t out of the woods. The Celtics, known for their elite road record, could turn the tide quickly. Carter’s voice is one of many joining in the growing roar of New York’s hope—but fans and players know the job isn’t done until the series is closed.
