Summary
Knickson Fyve Bradford was born Aug. 8 at 8 pounds, 8 ounces after his parents ditched earlier baby-name plans following the Knicks' NBA title run.
The middle name nods to the fan rallying cry "Knicks in Five" after New York beat the San Antonio Spurs in five games to win its first championship in 53 years.
Vance Bradford said the couple locked in the name as soon as the Finals ended, seeing it as a strong name tied to a once-in-a-generation moment for the city.
The choice also carries family history: Vance's mother was a scorekeeper for the Knicks' 1972-73 title team, the franchise's last champion before Jalen Brunson's 2026 squad.
