The streets of Manhattan are getting a New York Knicks-themed upgrade ahead of the team's Eastern Conference finals appearance Wednesday night.

In honor of the team's success this season and its first ECF game in 25 years, N.Y.C. mayor Eric Adams announced that certain Manhattan streets would be "temporarily co-named" after all 15 Knicks players for the remainder of the squad's playoff run.
