New York Knicks fans were excited to see a young phenom like Tatum speak so highly of their team’s home arena. Madison Square Garden, fondly referred to as “The World’s Most Famous Arena,” has that reputation on a global scale. Nonetheless, it’s been difficult for fans to appreciate that since the Knicks have struggled mightily over the past few years.
Tatum, 22, has really broken out in his third year in the league. He’s averaging 23.6 points per game, 7.1 rebounds per game, and 2.9 assists per game on 44.8% shooting. He was also named a reserve in the 2020 All-Star Game.
Knicks fans are additionally hoping that Tatum’s tweet carried a deeper meaning. Maybe they’ll be able to see the young star at Madison Square Garden in the future, but as a member of the blue and orange.
