Two retired FDNY heroes who risked their lives responding to the 9/11 terror attacks were surprised with tickets to see the Knicks play in Game 5.
Firefighter Brian Kevan and Captain Pete Culkin were giving an interview about their love for the Knicks and the Big Apple when DraftKings shocked them with the tickets.
“Holy crap!” said Kevan, who spent 21 years with the FDNY and is currently battling a World Trade Center-related illness tied to his response on 9/11.
“New York, for me, is part of my heart … I’ve been a Knicks fan since the late 80s, early 90s. To be this close, it’s electric. The city is thirsty for this win.”
Delta also flew the heroes out to San Antonio as part of the surprise.
“When we pick a team, we pick that team for life!” said Culkin, who served 32 years and continues helping firefighters and their families through the FDNY Family Assistance Unit.

He made one tall order — and it got him thrown out.

On the precipice of a title, these Knicks are a proud NBA contradiction
By
Stefan Bondy
With every previous front-office incarnation, the Knicks were star chasers.

The Lakers had Hollywood blockbusters. The Knicks had Broadway flops.
