BRONX, NY - Bronx homeowners across the borough are showing their pride by painting murals on the garage doors of their homes after the New York Knicks won their first NBA Championship in 53 years.
One home in Pelham Bay displayed one garage door that depicts the Statue of Liberty wearing a New York Knicks jersey, while the second garage door had the team’s logo in orange and blue.

Meanwhile, on Heath Avenue in Kingsbridge, homeowner Haramritjot Singh, 35, had his friend and fellow Kingsbridge resident and muralist Andre Crenier paint murals on two of his three garage doors. One door depicts the 1972 – 73 NBA Champion New York Knicks and players Willis Reed and Walt “Clyde” Frazier. While a second garage door depicts the 2025 – 26 Knicks and OG Anumoby’s tip-in of the winning basket in Game 4.
Singh told the Bronx Voice, “I’ve been a Knicks fan since I was a kid, but it’s only recently that we’ve been able to show our pride more after the championship.”

Singh recalled how last year he was given an award by the team for a previous NY Knicks mural when former player Stephon Marbury actually came to the home to see the mural. The Knicks also invited Singh to watch a game from a suite at Madison Square Garden, where he and his wife got to meet former player Larry Johnson.
Singh said, “This year we thought they were having a good run in the finals, so I reached out to my friend Andre who is a muralist who has done work for the Yankees, the Bronx Children’s Museum and things like that.”
Singh continued, “We started with the first door honoring the past, the middle door is like the main moment from Game 4, that changed the whole trajectory of the series and now we’re thinking about the last door, we’re thinking of visuals from the parade, them holding the trophy and all the confetti.”
Speaking of his family, Singh recalled, “We watched all the games together and the kids had to go to bed, so my daughter was disappointed because she heard about the tip-in afterwards, she had school. But we let her stay up for the last game, we had a good feeling about it, so yeah, we watched as a family, and the mural was something to share with the community. I saw a lot of murals in Manhattan and Brooklyn, but I didn’t see anything in the Bronx, so that’s why I volunteered my garage doors for Andre to work on.”
Asked if he hoped for a repeat next year, Singh replied, “That would be the hope, you know it’s been so amazing, and they played so well as a team. I was telling my daughter that everyone played a role in certain games and at certain points. It’s been a unified team, a prime example of what a team should be, everyone carrying the weight. I would say repeat, fingers crossed.”
