""I just fell in love. I liked the Knicks before then but that series, when John Starks head butted Reggie Miller, man I became officially obsessed. I went from 'I like the Knicks' to 'the Knicks are my entire life.'""
"Donahue made his first visit to see the team in person not long after on April 2nd, 1994. Donahue watched the Knicks beat the Miami Heat and that started a legendary run for the super fan."

"Donahue interned at ESPN radio in the early 2000s after graduating high school, creating relationships with people inside the Knicks organization which are still useful today."
