Ask Marcus Camby what makes playing for the New York Knicks so special, and he won\u2019t hesitate to praise both the fans and the organization.<\/p>\n
The Knicks\u2019 second annual homecoming weekend is taking place this Friday and Saturday, featuring events, content, and game experiences that celebrate the franchise\u2019s 80-year history and bring together generations of Knicks fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no fan of any sports like a Knicks fan,\u201d Camby told amNewYork. \u201cThese fans are so loyal to the soil. They love all their New York sports teams, but the love that they especially show for the New York Knicks, and the Knicks do a great job of interacting and bringing the current players and the former players together. So we\u2019re all just looped into one big family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Knicks Alumni Fest to bring fans together<\/p>\n
On Saturday, the Knicks Alumni Fest presented by Michelob Ultra will bring together approximately 2,000 fans at Basketball City in NYC. More than 15 Knicks alumni will be in attendance, including Walt \u201cClyde\u201d Frazier, John Starks, Latrell Sprewell, Danilo Gallinari, Nate Robinson, Zach Randolph, and Larry Johnson.<\/p>\n
The event will take place from 12 to 3 p.m. and will have several activations, including photo ops, autograph sessions, and on-court basketball competitions.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of interactive games, a lot of food, a lot of prizes,\u201d said Camby, who attended last year\u2019s Knicks Alumni Fest. \u201cYou have a chance to meet your favorite former Knicks players, so you know it\u2019s going to be a great time. Last year was awesome, had a chance to meet a lot of loyal Knick fans.\u201d<\/p>\n
Knicks Alumni Fest is free to attend, but fans must register to reserve tickets<\/a>.<\/p>\n Knicks\u2019 homecoming theme night vs. Suns honors alumni The Knicks will honor their alumni and the players who defined what it means to be a Knick on Saturday night during their game against the Phoenix Suns at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n Activations include a commemorative ticket giveaway for all fans in attendance, an on-court ceremony at halftime, and video tributes throughout the game showing former Knicks players. Around 50 Knicks alumni will be in attendance.<\/p>\n Camby will also visit Garden of Dreams Foundation (GDF) youth on Friday at Maria Fareri Children\u2019s Hospital, a GDF partner organization to take photos and sign autographs. Also on Friday, a group of Knicks alumni will visit the NYSE for the Closing Bell Ceremony.<\/p>\n \u201cAnytime I get a chance to partner with the Garden of Dreams is a no-brainer for myself,\u201d Camby said. \u201cI always like to bring joy and good times to people that are less fortunate \u2026 for me to go there and spend a few minutes with them, sign some autographs, take some pictures, hopefully our experience and time there will hopefully brighten up their day.\u201d<\/p>\n More information about the Knicks Alumni Fest is available on the team\u2019s website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
