You know, I went to sleep at 3:45 and I woke up asking myself: “Is this real”?

And what we saw is the vast majority of Knicks fans who were celebrating responsibly, who've been waiting an entire lifetime for this moment. And as you said, there were a few New Yorkers who behaved in a manner that was unacceptable and we've said time and again, there's no tolerance for attacking individuals on the street, for violence — whether it be in general or against police officers. And I'm appreciative to the NYPD for the work they did last night to keep everyone safe.

And we will be releasing additional details to New Yorkers over the next few days of how everyone can be a part of this moment, because I know, you know, we've been waiting for this for 53 years and it is one moment that none of us will ever forget.

And as you said, it's coming at a time when we have an overlap with the World Cup, as well as last night, there were overlaps with preplanned concerts as well. And we're going to continue to evaluate everything coming out of this, but I do think a lot of the circumstances from yesterday evening were specific and unique and we are looking forward to Thursday.
