Knicks fans throughout the tri-state area — and beyond — are going wild.
But one curse word from a fan derailed a live report from CBS 2’s Knicks coverage on Saturday night.
Reporter Adi Guajardo was covering the watch party at Radio City in Midtown and was speaking to jubilant fans in the middle of the din inside the famed music hall after the Knicks won their first NBA championship in 53 years.
However, when one blue and orange diehard dropped an F-bomb, it derailed the live segment.
In the middle of Guajardo’s interview with a fan, a person off-camera could be heard loudly saying: “The Knicks did it! The Knicks f–king won,” before Guajardo cut things short.
Warning: Graphic language
“No, no, no, stop, sorry,” she said. “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.”
Guajardo sent the feed back to the studio, which then cut to a different part of the celebration in a different part of New York
She took to Instagram during a taxi ride seemingly after the live hit and said that the feeling, overall, in Radio City was “absolutely ecstatic,” and people inside the building and outside the city were “alive.”
The CBS 2 crew wasn’t the only TV station to get close to the wild scene in New York, as a CNN reporter got swarmed by multiple overexcited fans chanting “Knicks in five!”
One fan was even smoking right next to Morales and in front of the camera. One person told Morales he was, in fact, a “winner.” In Times Square, Morales even put on a Knicks jersey.
Knicks fans are riding high and are letting the world know it, whether FCC rules are cared for or not.
