(Nsfw) "Let's Go Knick-Ers" as a chant in NBA2K17.

[laoala]

If you haven't seen from the NBA 2K Reddit

One of the chants in NBA 2K17 for the New York Knicks is:

"Let's Go Knickers"

I'll leave it to you to understand why this is a bad thing.

Arena authenticity folks...

Sounds like it's actually "Knii-icks".

Sounds awful though, should be "let's go Knicks" without the prolongation. Yeah so much for arena authenticity

...Okay, at the risk of derailing the thread, I HAVE to address the elephant in the room.

As I write this, your avatar has a Nets logo. But you work for MSG.

Yes, your city has two teams representing it, but you don't root for the team that plays in the arena you work at?

Or is it a James Dolan thing?

I have fam who works for/at MSG.

Spoiler

Before the Adele concert for proof & such:

Employees are just told to keep your personal team allegiances to yourself if you're a fan of another team. Same thing at CitiField.

They don't tell you who to root for when you're not on the job, lol.

On Topic:

That Knicks chant has always bothered me. They're def saying "Lets go Kniii--iicks" which is dead wrong. It should sound more like the "Lets go Mets" chants.

Three words, three syllables, and if there's any arena input - it's 3 drum beats with the chant. Not cowbell to get ppl clapping quickly.

It's just all messed up in 2K.
