The Knicks’ decision not to raise the NBA Cup banner caused a major stir, and the Amazon Prime crew joined the discussion by trolling them with a fake banner.

The New York Knicks recently surprised everyone by winning the Emirates NBA Cup Trophy after defeating the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Cup Finals with a final score of 124-113.

While the win generated excitement among fans, one notable decision left many confused: unlike other in-season tournament winners, the Knicks chose not to hang a banner for the title. This choice sparked criticism, as fans were puzzled by the reasoning behind it.

Former NBA player Kendrick Perkins also expressed his disapproval, stating that the decision reflected poorly on the league’s efforts. In a humorous twist, the Amazon Prime Crew decided to poke fun at the Knicks for this banner decision.

During their NBA coverage before the Knicks’ recent game against the Philadelphia 76ers, the crew raised a fake Knicks’ NBA Cup banner. A video of this moment quickly surfaced on social media and went viral.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
