Knicks fans must have felt bad about invading a Philadelphia reporter’s airtime after their Eastern Conference semifinals sweep, as they sent her flowers as a gift.
Cheyenne Corin, a reporter on 6abc in Philly, was attempting to do her job in recapping Game 4 and the series inside Xfinity Mobile Arena, but rowdy Knicks fans swarmed her.
Corin went on social media Sunday morning to let people know that, in the aftermath of the event, Knicks fans sent her flowers with a note.
“As if trolling me on live television wasn’t enough, I get a notification from security at the news station telling me that I have a bouquet of flowers that was delivered,” she said with a smirk. “So then I go look at the card, and it says, ‘You handled that like a New Yorker… come to the winning team, signed Knicks in four.’”
Corin continued, “I don’t know how to feel about this. Y’all won the game, you moved on to the next round, we’ll see you next season, I don’t know the need for this.”
Corin later added that the person didn’t reveal themselves, but asked for them to do so in the comments.
“This is crazy, y’all are nuts,” she said with a smile.
She did make clear on her Instagram that she will not be turning into a Knicks fan or a New Yorker despite the gesture, but she’ll take it as a “peace offering.”
As of this writing, the Knicks were still awaiting a challenger for the Eastern Conference finals, which will be determined Sunday night when the Pistons and Cavaliers face off in Game 7.
This will be the second consecutive Game 7 series for each team, as both won their opening-round series 4-3 before the semis.
