Earn 91 million US dollars in one game! Earn 832 million after the finals! Who can stand this?

As expected, the Knicks won a game back in the third match of the Eastern Conference Finals, bringing back at least another home game for the New York people, which will add at least one million dollars in economic income. The process of the G3 match in the Eastern Conference Finals was not as easy as expected. The Knicks relied on Towns' 20 points and 8 rebounds in the final quarter to complete a 20-point reversal, which was very thrilling to pull back the suspense of the series.

However, from the perspective of off-court factors, the Knicks should have won in this game and must win. The New Yorker needs the Knicks to win, and the league also needs the Knicks to win.

As the largest NBA market, the meaning of the Knicks defeating the Celtics with a huge difference of 38 points is not just as simple as breaking the 25-year division final drought.

New York fans were in a state of ecstasy and celebrated wildly on the streets of Manhattan. They climbed onto billboards and various transportation facilities and gathered into a sea of ​​joy.

The Knicks' revival was like a cardiac in New York's economic lifeline. The total assists in the first and second rounds brought at least $195 million in economic benefits to the Knicks.

In New York, the Knicks have a far greater impact on the economy than all other professional teams in the city.

Last year, the New York Yankees advanced to the major league final. According to statistics from the New York Economic Development Commission, the Yankees contributed about $25 million to the New York economy in each playoff game, which is far from the Knicks' influence.

The Knicks entered the Eastern Conference Finals after 25 years, making New York fans' consumption enthusiasm even higher. Each home game that began the Eastern Conference Finals is expected to bring $91 million in economic growth to New York. The average ticket price for the first match between the Knicks and the Pacers reached $1,193, setting a record for the NBA's all-time division finals.

What's more exaggerated is that if the Knicks play all the home courts in the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals, it is expected to bring at least $832 million in economic benefits to New York.

These income includes tickets, team surroundings, hotel rooms, transportation and alcohol. Needless to say, the Knicks' home ticket prices continued to soar before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, quickly setting a historical record.

The hotel passenger flow around Madison Square has at least doubled. Not only fans from all over the United States came to New York to watch the game, but also hardcore Knicks fans from foreign countries have crossed the ocean to support the Knicks.

Even the tattoo shop was "impacted" by Knicks fans. A local tattoo artist revealed that he received a large number of appointments from Knicks fans, and many New Yorkers had an unsealed 2025 NBA championship trophy.

Wine looks trivial, but it is an important part of New York's economic growth. During the playoffs, the number of bar guests around Madison Square increased by four times compared to usual. An hour before the first round of the Eastern Conference Finals, the nearby bars were already full, and a large number of Knicks fans were pouring in.

A boss who has operated a bar in New York for 30 years said that the Knicks' outstanding performance in the playoffs this year has allowed him to see the largest passenger flow since its opening, and in just one month he helped him make up for the huge blow he suffered during the epidemic.

"It's not just the business these days, but the Knicks have also helped us accumulate new customers," said the bar owner. "Repeated customers are the best business. They will become new regular customers and patronize all year round. No matter how the Knicks perform this year, they will help us make money until next season."

As the undisputed largest city that can still dominate the NBA even if it's a bad market for many years, no city can compare with New York's economic impact.

This economic account will be the Knicks' invisible advantage, and if they are strong enough, the league will not mind tilting the victory balance slightly towards the New Yorkers.

If they can win the championship again after 52 years, New York will fall into complete madness, and the traffic growth it brings to the NBA will be far more than the other three teams to win the championship.

Of course, the blacksmith still needs to be strong himself, and the NBA cannot help the players on the court to throw the ball in. If the league's control is really strong enough, the Lakers will play against the Warriors in the Western Conference Semi-Finals, and the Clippers will play against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

Whether the Knicks can earn this money for New York and whether they can bring new traffic spikes to the league depends on whether they can seize the opportunity.
