We are just hours away from the New York Knicks taking on the San Antonio Spurs in game one of the NBA Finals. Knicks fans everywhere have enjoyed a historic playoff run from their squad, helped along, pro wrestling fans would say, by Danhausen uncursing them.
What else could explain their success?
If you need a quick explainer on all this, our top guy Sean Rueter did just that [here](/wwe/447673/a-very-nice-very-evil-explainer-on-danhausen-and-the-new-york-knicks).
The Knicks have a real shot at becoming champions this year but that could very well be in danger if Danhausen’s latest demands are not met:
> “Stephen A. Smith, your checks have cleared so far. However, if you want to keep this uncursing going perhaps Danhausen is going to need his own TV show, or more monies, or perhaps those courtside seats, no big deal. You have until tip off time to decide what happens with the curse!”
Smith responded by claiming he didn’t hear the demands and his blackmail attempt will not work. The problem, of course, is that Danhausen, silly as he seems, clearly understands the concept of leverage and if the Knicks and their fans want to take down Wemby and the Spurs, they need him.
