Danhausen credited for Knicks' championship run after uncursing team

WWE star Danhausen is credited with the New York Knicks' successful playoff run, culminating in their first NBA championship since 1973. After uncursing the team during WrestleMania week, the Knicks rallied from a 2-1 deficit against the Atlanta Hawks, winning three straight games in that series, and continuing their powerful performance through the playoffs. The Knicks finished with a 15-1 playoff record post-uncursing. Following the championship, WWE is capitalizing on the crossover appeal with merchandise featuring Danhausen and the Knicks logo.
