The New York Knicks are on an 11-0 playoff streak after a blowout win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Fans and players credit WWE wrestler Danhausen for “uncursing” the franchise, believing his supernatural curse made the team unbeatable. Danhausen is known for a comedic gimmick where he “curses” opponents, leading to mishaps in the ring. The Knicks have leaned into the phenomenon by selling “uncursed” T-shirts, and Jalen Brunson has copied Danhausen’s signature cursing gesture. Even Cavaliers fans attribute Cleveland’s postseason struggles to Danhausen, who allegedly cursed the team on live television before the Eastern Conference Finals. The sequence began in April when Danhausen appeared on ESPN during the Knicks’ first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks and placed curses on Stephen A. Smith and the Knicks.
"New York, who were heavy favorites against the lower seeded Hawks, suddenly lost the next two games in stunning fashion, leading fans to plead with Danhausen to reverse the apparent spell. A Knicks fan even"
