In a show of support for the New York Knicks during their journey to the Eastern Conference Finals, Mayor Eric Adams and Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez announced the temporary co-naming of several Manhattan streets after notable Knicks players. The initiative aims to rally the spirit of New Yorkers, with streets like Precious Achiuwa Place and Jalen Brunson Boulevard being part of the changes. The mayor emphasized the Knicks' embodiment of New York's resilience and determination, bringing the community together in this moment of pride as they back the team on their championship quest.
The Knicks embody the spirit of New York -- resilient, passionate and unstoppable. On the path to a championship, we recognize the hard work and determination that has gotten this team to the Eastern Conference Finals and we're celebrating this team by temporarily co-naming our city streets so all New Yorkers can celebrate their Knicks pride.
Nearly 8.5 million New Yorkers, and millions more, are behind the New York Knicks as they continue this incredible journey.
Co-named streets begin on 6th Avenue and West Washington Place with Precious Achiuwa Place and continue southward to 6th Avenue and West 3rd Street with Josh Hart Street.
These temporary co-naming of streets provide a unique way for fans to show their support for the Knicks during their Eastern Conference finals run.
