Yeah, I've seen a bunch of crazy videos of Knicks and Celtics fans fighting after games, especially online. Sometimes it does feel like it's all the media talks about, but honestly, there's definitely something to it. When two hardcore sports cities like New York and Boston go head-to-head, people get super passionate, and sometimes it just goes way too far. I remember after a playoff game last year, I saw some fans starting fights just because they were trash talking each other over who played better or got robbed by the refs.

But I've also noticed that a lot of what makes the fights look insane is just how much people record and post them everywhere. One fight breaks out and suddenly everyone thinks all fans are like that, which isn't really true. Most Knicks and Celtics fans just want to celebrate with their own people and don't want drama. I've gone to games with fans from both sides, and as long as everyone respects each other, nothing really happens. Still, both these groups have a huge rivalry built up over years, so it's not shocking that things get heated sometimes when everything's on the line. Basic rule: don't be a jerk and you'll probably be fine, even if it's hyped up on social media.
