Knicks fans went viral for all the wrong reasons following the team’s Game 6 loss to the Heat on Friday after videos circulated showing a group of overzealous supporters defaming a poster of star forward Julius Randle.
The aftermath of New York’s devastating 96–92 season-ending defeat saw Randle, a third-team All-NBA selection, catch heat on social media after turning in his worst effort of the series: 15 points on 3-of-14 shooting from the field and 11 rebounds.
Meanwhile, as the Knicks walked off the floor in Miami, a small crowd of devastated Knicks fans some 1,300 miles away back home saw an opportunity to take out their frustration. The group ripped the Randle poster off a wall outside of Madison Square Garden before stomping on the ad and spray painting it while other jeered and made comments about the two-time All-Star in the background.
