The 53-year championship drought is officially over for the New York Knicks. BronxNet reporter Kairi Moody takes us inside Sankofa Haus in the South Bronx, where local residents gathered for a free community watch party to witness the historic 2026 NBA Finals matchup between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs.
Organized by venue owner DJ SPYNFO, the gathering was designed to provide a safe, unifying space for neighbors and basketball fans from across the city. The high-energy event featured local food offerings like chicken, lobster rolls, and Rasta pasta as attendees watched the game unfold. Known for hosting neighborhood initiatives with organizations like Knowledge House, the South Bronx venue served as a central hub for community celebration as the Knicks secured the national title.
