The New York Knicks are taking over the streets of New York City, literally.

The Knicks stunned the Boston Celtics and defeated the reigning champions in six games and advanced to their first conference final in 25 years.
"The Knicks embody the spirit of New York – resilient, passionate, and unstoppable," Adams said in a statement.
"On the path to a championship, we recognize the hard work and determination that has gotten this team to the Eastern Conference Finals and we're celebrating this team by temporarily co-naming our city streets so all New Yorkers can celebrate their Knicks pride. Nearly 8.5 million New Yorkers, and millions more, are behind the New York Knicks as they continue this incredible journey."
The streets will be co-named for as long as the Knicks are still in the playoff hunt. Each sign is blue and orange and features the player's name and jersey number.
Last season, the Pacers eliminated a Knicks team that was decimated by injuries in seven games in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
