For those who missed the arc, the clip lays out Danhausen initially cursing the Knicks during the first round of the playoffs. That move followed an appearance on ESPN's First Take, where Stephen A. Smith rubbed him the wrong way. Danhausen later removed the curse on New York, and the Knicks went on a miraculous win streak from that point.

Knicks Run and Cavaliers Curse

The Knicks 13 consecutive games on their way to the NBA Finals. Danhausen added another layer to the storyline during the Eastern Conference Finals, putting a curse on the Cleveland Cavaliers as New York pushed deeper into the postseason.
