Precious Achiuwa, who played for the Knicks for parts of two seasons, took to social media an hour or so after the game and posted a meme from Nickelodeon show “SpongeBob SquarePants” of SpongeBob and Patrick joyously playing outside while Squidward watched through the blinds of his house.

He had been a part of the Knicks during the 2023-24 season after being traded to New York along with OG Anunoby, and re-signed on a one-year deal for the 2024-25 season. 

Achiuwa signed with the Kings in November, just missing out on being part of the championship-winning squad that toppled the Spurs in five games in the NBA Finals. 

While Achiuwa was having a bit of tongue-in-cheek fun with the moment, plenty of Knicks fans responded to his post by wanting to include him in the celebration. 

“Fans ain’t forget your bro. Once A Knick Always A Knick. Thank you for your time with the team,” one fan wrote on X.

“I’m sure it’s a small consolation but us Knicks fans count you as part of this. It’s been a long road,” another fan wrote. 

“This is your ring too my man, you helped us get here,” a third person chimed in. 

“Once a Knick always a Knick big sneeze. Thank you for helping lay the foundation,” a person also wrote.

Achiuwa played 106 games for the Knicks, averaging 7.1 points per game while shooting 51.3 percent from the field and pulling down  6.3 rebounds. 

He also appeared in 17 playoff games during his tenure with the Knicks, averaging 3.6 points per game.
