Danhausen, basketball world react to New York Knicks remaining ‘uncursed’

Posted on by Ian Carey

Danhausen continues to take credit for the New York Knicks’ 2026 NBA Playoffs run.

The Knicks have not lost a game in 43 days, and many people believe this is due to Danhausen uncursing the team.

The Knicks are now up 2-0 on the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals following their win on Friday night.

Danhausen responded to an ESPN article about the Knicks on Saturday, writing:

“Has anyone thought about how powerful Danhausen is yet today? KNICKSHAUSEN”

NBA writers such as Zach Lowe have also commented on Danhausen’s apparent impact on the series. Lowe wrote:

“At this point, I might actually start sending money/human monies if I were a Knicks fan”

Danhausen also responded to noted Knicks fan Ariel Helwani, who publicly thanked Danhausen after the Knicks’ win on Friday.

Danhausen wrote:

“You…. Are….. Welcomehausen.”

Danhausen has been involved in a back-and-forth with Stephen A. Smith over the cursing of the Knicks, with Danhausen asking Smith to pay him more human monies, give him a TV show, and provide him with courtside tickets to the game.

After the Knicks’ victory in Game 1, Danhausen claimed that Smith’s check cleared and the Knicks being uncursed continues.

“.@stephenasmith check cleared. KNICKSHAUSEN and the UNCURSE continue! (Danhausen is on a European travel time delay)”

After Game 1 of the series, many fans suggested that Jalen Brunson gave the Danhausen “you are cursed” motion to the Spurs. A clip of him doing so is available below:

Danhausen curses Cavs and the Knicks win in dramatic overtime comeback

After cursing the New York Knicks a few weeks ago (and then later uncursing them), Danhausen cursed the Cleveland Cavs yesterday before they went on to lose to the Knicks in extremely dramatic fashion last night in Game 1 of the Conference Finals.

The Knicks were able to come back last night from 22 down in the fourth quarter to win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in overtime, with Jalen Brunson leading the MSG team to one of the biggest NBA comebacks of the season.

Danhausen on NBA Today and cursing the Cavs

The bigger story here is just how much Danhausen is starting to get attention in terms of his mainstream appearances. The former AEW star appeared on NBA Today yesterday and revealed that the Cavs were now cursed, before then reacting to the massive win for the Knicks following the game.

Following the win, Danhausen took to X (formerly Twitter) to say that he has now “earned” courtside seats next to “Timothee Chamalays” and Kylie Jenner. There’s currently no word on whether he will actually be given these seats at Madison Square Garden. Game 2 in the Conference Finals takes place on Thursday from MSG, so we’ll see if Danhausen actually gets those seats.

This is obviously in jest, but seeing just how over Danhausen has gotten already with fans online, fans in the live arenas and the attention he’s getting online is quite impressive. WWE behind the scenes must be extremely happy with the return they’re seeing from a monetary and branding point already and he’s only been on television for WWE since March.
