The city’s alive with Knicks fever, and even the NYC DOT is joining in! The Department of Transportation, in partnership with Madison Square Garden Sports and the New York Knicks, has temporarily co-named various Manhattan streets after New York Knicks Players to commemorate the team advancing to the 2025 Eastern Conference Finals.
Forget about the city’s signature green as each Knicks-edition street sign is fully designed in blue and orange, featuring the name and jersey number of a current player. According to the NYC DOT, the location of each sign corresponds with each team member’s uniform.
Co-named Manhattan streets after New York Knicks players:
- Precious Achiuwa Place – 6th Avenue and West Washington Place
- OG Anunoby Alley – 6th Avenue and West 8th Street
- Mikal Bridges Block – 7th Avenue and West 25th Street
- Jalen Brunson Boulevard – 7th Avenue and West 11th Street
- Pacome Dadiet Drive – 6th Avenue and West 4th Street
- Josh Hart Street – 6th Avenue and West 3rd Street
- Ariel Hukporti Street – 7th Avenue and West 55th Street
- Tyler Kolek Lane – 7th Avenue and West 13th Street
- Miles McBride Street – 6th Avenue and Minetta Lane
- Cam Payne Place – 6th Avenue and Bleecker Street
- Mitchell Robinson Road – 7th Avenue and West 23rd Street
- Landry Shamet Circle – 7th Avenue and West 44th Street
- Karl-Anthony Towns Square – 7th Avenue and West 32nd Street
- PJ Tucker Terrace – 7th Avenue and West 17th Street

“The Knicks embody the spirit of New York – resilient, passionate, and unstoppable,” Mayor Adams stated. “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.”
Tonight (Wednesday, May 21st, 2025) marks the team’s ninth Eastern Conference Finals appearance. The New York Knicks will take on the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden starting at 8pm. The Eastern Conference Finals winner will advance to the 2025 NBA Finals to either face the Oklahoma City Thunder or the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The special-edition Knicks street signs will remain up through the duration of the playoffs run. To officially change a street name, it must be approved by the New York City Council, a legislative process that could maybe be sped up in the case of a championship. 😉 Stay tune and go Knicks!
