The upcoming season is costing him $10,000 before playoff tickets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Between the regular season and postseason, he estimated he spent roughly $20,000 this past season alone.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Greg Armstrong posing in his man cave full of Knicks merch and memorabilia at his home in Middletown, NY. <span class=\"credit\">Lone Pine Press for NY Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Still, he insists the price has been worth it. <\/p>\n<p>Over the years, Armstrong has seen the heated Knicks rivalries of the 1990s, two Finals runs, Patrick Ewing in his prime, John Starks\u2019 famous dunk, Larry Johnson\u2019s four-point play and the 1994 Finals game forever tied to the O.J.

20 years ago, started watching more games, and realized the Knicks were \u201cmuch more than a basketball team\u201d and \u201cpart of the city\u2019s identity.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure

together around watch parties, player events, and shared game-day experiences.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Their love of the team started with father-daughter trips to Madison Square Garden and the 1990s teams that made guys like Patrick Ewing, John Starks, and Larry Johnson permanent fixtures in their Knicks memories.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter

when they weren\u2019t going to the game, their family still found ways to get close to the team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After their schoolwork was completed, their mom would help them make the late trip back into Manhattan so they could wait outside afterward and try to spot players leaving the arena.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe takeaway for us now, looking back as adults, is that our mom was the real MVP,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>The sisters have core memories, waiting outside MSG after a game to spot players leaving the arena.  <span class=\"credit\">Emmy Park for NY Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Years later, through OmniFan, the sisters have hosted former Knicks guard Chris Childs, one of their childhood favorites, and crossed paths with Allan Houston, another player tied to their early years as fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For them, the Finals run has made the city feel more connected than ever, and their casual bar meetups have become a much larger fan operation, with events at spots including Mustang Harry\u2019s, Hill Country Barbecue, and Hard Rock Cafe Times Square.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure

That and New Yorkers in general, we tend to be a bit unhinged.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Queens-native Juan says his devotion to the Knicks began when he was a young kid. <span class=\"credit\">Stephen Yang<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Born and raised in Flushing, Queens, he became a Knicks fan because of his father, a Patrick Ewing diehard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He still has NBA trading cards that his father bought him in the 1990s. But for Juan, fashion is his way of expressing his love.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>The 40-year-old said he zones in during the season, barely talking to anyone except his dad.  <span class=\"credit\">Stephen Yang<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And once the game starts, he mostly avoids people, with one exception: his dad, who is usually texting with him through the madness.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s also enjoying watching Jalen Brunson lead the franchise almost three decades after seeing his father, Rick Brunson, play as part of the Knicks team that fell to the Spurs in the 1999 NBA Finals.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Along with so many other fans, Juan is sitting at the edge of his seat, praying his team brings home that championship title. <span class=\"credit\">Stephen Yang<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe son is in a position to avenge the father,\u201d Juan said. \u201cThis is a story made for a Hollywood film.
