Even Mike Breen and Madison Square Garden are jumping in on Knicks fans’ BING BONG meme

BING BONG

BING BONG!!!

OK, so the New York Knicks didn’t win on Monday night — the Toronto Raptors won 113-104 at Madison Square Garden.

But that hasn’t stopped anyone from using BING BONG, the weirdest catchphrase that’s become a meme for Knicks die-hards after it was dropped in a video (it’s meant to evoke the sound played before the subway doors close on New York trains).

On Monday, we found out that MSG has started using it … and so has Mike Breen, who calls Knicks games when he isn’t saying “BANG!” on national NBA contests.

Here are both clips and they’re both great:

The NBA Hot Take Cannon: Evan Mobley for DPOY, Ja > Zion and more

Evan Mobley shouldn’t be this good already

Gooood morning everyone. Welcome back to FTW’s Hot Take Cannon where we spit spicy takes for you every Friday.

The key to this is to remember one thing: The takes here are almost always going to be completely ridiculous with a little validity to them. You know that old saying of “there’s truth inside of every joke?” There’s some sense inside of every one of these takes.

And we’ve got some good ones this week after a completely ridiculous week inside the NBA. Evan Mobley making a great case for DPOY, the Lakers losing to the Thunder, my Wizards actually being *gulp* GOOD?!?

This league is so weird. I love it. Let’s jump in.

BING BONG! How Knicks fans have adopted the weirdest catchphrase as a rallying cry

BING BONG

Welcome to FTW Explains, a guide to catching up on and better understanding stuff going on in the world. You may have seen the phrase BING BONG being thrown around everywhere on Twitter and wondered what was up with that and what it has to do with the New York Knicks. We’re here to help!

BING BONG is everywhere.

Well, at least in New York it is. The Knicks are good again — they just beat the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night and are 3-1 to start the season a year after surprising the NBA in 2020-21. And fans have adopted BING BONG. So let’s tell you the story behind it?
