Knicks Championship Inspires Unforgettable Baby Name
The Bradford family chose a name that echoes “Knicks in five” after the team won its 2026 NBA championship.
- A Long Island couple, Yvonne Gonzalez-Bradford and Vance Bradford, named their newborn son Knickson Fyve Bradford to honor the New York Knicks' NBA Finals championship run. The name phonetically references the popular 'Knicks in five' rallying cry.
- Yvonne was seven months pregnant when the Knicks won the title, and the name honors family history; Vance's late mother, Sydell Johnson, served as the team's scorekeeper during their last championship season in 1973.
- Born on Aug 8, weighing 8 pounds, 8 ounces, Knickson Fyve shares a birthday with his mother. Vance noted that 'Fyve' represents an indivisible number, symbolizing their 'indivisible champion.'
- The newborn maintains a dedicated Instagram account where he often wears Knicks apparel, ensuring the championship season remains part of their family history for years to come.
- While the baby is expected to support the Knicks, Vance plays it cool regarding potential future rivalries. The team recently held a ring ceremony on Tuesday ahead of their game against the Philadelphia Sixers, where they lost 106-100.
