New York By (new) York

CELEBRATES THE KNICKS BY CEMENTING THEM AS THE MOST NEW YORK OF ALL NEW YORK THINGS.

Simple collages that combine action shots of Knicks players with shots of everyday moments around NYC. For example, we show an image of Julius cheering on his teammates from the bench at MSG, cropped from the waist up. Where his legs should be, we instead see the lower half of a New Yorker seated on the L train.
