The New York Giants, like most New York sports fans, were on a high on Friday night, as the New York Knicks successfully dethroned the then-reigning NBA champions Boston Celtics.
Jalen Brunson and NY made sure that the Celtics won’t play another game in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, as they demolished Boston in a 119-81 victory at Madison Square Garden.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Giants shared a photo of former New York star quarterback Eli Manning seemingly impersonating Brunson’s celly.

Fans react to New York Giants’ Manning post after New York-Boston NBA series
Manning knows a thing or two about shocking the sports world in the playoffs, and he has two Super Bowl rings to prove it. Perhaps some of his playoff magic are rubbing off on Brunson and company, who will next face the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals.
Meanwhile, here are some of the reactions from Manning’s photo:
“get eli to game one at the garden”
“Eli knows a thing or 2 (pun intended) in beating a boston team on the big stage”
“the forever goat of giants history”
“Eli might have to talk to the team. He knows what it is to reach that mountain top.”
“Elite Manning was a great 👍 HS basketball player 👌 as well! Knicks win 🏆 it all! GO NY GO NY GO!”
“M MY CAPTAIN SALUTING MY CAPTAIN!!!!!”
“Brunson Burner!”
