“Initially, I thought it was just a gag,” said Dantona. “I had noticed the shirt drop a few weeks back, but I never imagined a player would wear it against the Celtics.”
“I was in disbelief until social media blew up. Posts from the Yankees and even MLB came in. It was surreal!”
For those in the know, Dantona has transformed into a cultural phenomena, thanks to his now-iconic “F*** Boston” line delivered during a Sidetalk video at the 2021 Knicks season opener.
Dantona remarked on the unexpected camaraderie among Yankees and Mets fans during this rivalry, noting the momentary solidarity in support of the Knicks.
“No matter our allegiances, there’s a common bond over the Knicks that reverberates through the city,” he reflected.

While ticket prices soar, Dantona remains hopeful about catching Game 2 or Game 5 at Madison Square Garden in the upcoming series against the Indiana Pacers. He senses an opportunity for the Knicks to make their long-awaited return to the NBA Finals since 1999.
“This season seems promising, especially if we manage to stay healthy,” Dantona expressed. “I’m confident we’ll take them out in six games!”
