Knicks president Leon Rose shared that he received a meaningful good luck charm from Eagles general manager Howie Roseman during the Knicks’ championship run.
In a video that’s making rounds on social media, Rose displayed a black case with a slate from the city of David in ancient Jerusalem inside and explained that Roseman gave it to him before a Knicks playoff game at the Garden.
“I want to share this with everbody,” Rose said while at MSG. “Howie Roseman, general manager of the Philadelphia Eagles came tonight with his boys and he gave me this gift which is a piece of slate from the city of David in ancient Jerusalem that he got when he was there and he either got it, or it was given to him in 2024.
“He took it to the Super Bowl and won the super bowl and he gave it to me for good luck tonight before the game. Un-friggen-believable.”
Rose, who did not say which playoff game Roseman attended with his sons, but it was clear that the Knicks won the game.
Philadelphia won the 2025 Super Bowl, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 40–22.
The Knicks completed a four-game sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers and the Cleveland Cavaliers en route to winning four of five against the Spurs to clinch their first championship in 53 years.
