Danhausen Uncurses Knicks Merch Run as New York Streak Hits 10
Danhausen’s Knicks merch luck keeps cashing in. New York has won 10 straight games since he uncursed the team, and the run has pushed the Knicks to one win away from their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999.

The timing has made Danhausen a fan favorite with both WWE followers and Knicks fans, and the playoff surge has turned that connection into a talking point around the team’s May run. For New York, the streak is the hard number: 10 straight games after the curse was lifted.
That stretch has left the Knicks on the doorstep of a breakthrough that has not happened in over 2 decades. They last reached the Finals in 1999, and this current run has put them one win away from getting back there.
Brunson Drives The Run
Jalen Brunson has been the heart and soul of the Knicks since he signed there from Dallas, and he has led them on deep playoff runs. His place in the surge has mattered because this streak is not happening around a side story; it is happening with Brunson steering the team’s biggest games.
Karl-Anthony Towns has also been a strong contributor since arriving from the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has become a visible part of the Knicks’ rise while carrying a separate lane as a passionate collector of sports and WWE trading cards.
Towns Chases Rare Card
Towns tried to buy the Randy Orton 2025 Topps Royalty WWE Wrestlemania 41 Match-Used Patch Autograph 1/1, which sold for $42,100. He said, “I had bid $40,000” and believed he was in line to secure the card before a massive overbid snatched it away.
That hobby detail sits alongside a market spike for both Knicks players. Towns’ overall Card Ladder Index has risen 74% over the last 3 months, while Brunson’s overall Card Ladder Index has climbed over 26% in the same span.
Brunson’s 2018 Prizm base rookie card in a PSA 10 sold for $100 in early March and is now consistently going for over $200. The numbers track the same climb as the playoff run: New York is still winning, the streak is still alive, and the Knicks are now one result from the Finals stage they have not reached since 1999.
