NYPD Officers Grab a Knicks Player and Yank Him from the Parade Mistaking Him for a Fan
Tyler Kolek may play for NBA champions the New York Knicks, but he wasn’t recognizable to NYPD officers during a Thursday celebration. ESPN reporter Kimberley A. Martin shared video of Kolek high-fiving and celebrating with fans gathered in New York City to celebrate the Knicks’ historic championship victory. The New York team beat the San Antonio Spurs in five games, which included an explosive comeback in Game 4 where the Knicks made up for a 29-point deficit. In the video of Kolek, 25, multiple officers stop him and remove him from the crowd as Kolek appears to be explaining that he’s on the team. The officers simply believed he was a fan getting too excited (he was holding a Michelob Ultra while getting the crowd fired up). Kolek has had plenty of court time, though he did not play in the NBA Finals games, which may have led to some of the confusion.(https://i.postimg.cc/05cMZNbM/Knicks.png)
Minorities like Blacks, Spanish and Asian didn't fret though and no profiling from them... O0
