Karl-Anthony Towns Square, Jalen Brunson Boulevard: NYC co-names streets after Knicks players

New Yorkers have a new way to rally behind the Knicks while on their daily commutes.

On Wednesday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez announced that streets across Manhattan will be temporarily co-named after Knicks players. The decision was made to honor the Knicks' trip to the Eastern Conference finals.

"The Knicks embody the spirit of New York -- resilient, passionate and unstoppable," Mayor Adams said in a news release. "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."

Co-named streets begin on 6th Avenue and West Washington Place with Precious Achiuwa Place and continue southward to 6th Avenue and West 3rd Street with Josh Hart Street.

Karl-Anthony Towns Square is on the corner of 7th Avenue and West 32nd Street, while Jalen Brunson Boulevard is on 7th Avenue and West 11th Street.
