NEW YORK — Knicks fans gathered outside Madison Square Garden on Monday evening for a unique contest that blended team spirit with light-hearted fun. Organized by @lasttakeshow, the event invited participants who believe they resemble Knicks star guard Jalen Brunson to compete for a coveted prize.
Through a process of elimination, one fan was declared the winner — earning tickets to the Knicks’ next home playoff game. With Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Indiana Pacers set to take place at MSG, the prize carried significant value. The current get-in price for that game, including fees, is $678, making the tickets a major win for the lucky fan.
@lasttakeshow, the group behind the event, is known for parody-style sports content that mimics ESPN’s “First Take,” often featuring humorous debates and fan interaction.
Brunson, a central figure in the Knicks’ postseason run, has been outstanding during the series despite the team trailing 2-1. He is averaging 34.0 points and 5.7 assists per game over the first three matchups with Indiana.
The Knicks will aim to even the series in Game 4, scheduled for Tuesday night in Indianapolis.
