Danhausen Says He Lifted Curse On New York Knicks, But Stephen A. Smith Is Still Cursed

Danhausen says that he lifted his curse on the New York Knicks, but the curse on Stephen A. Smith remains unabated. As noted, the WWE star cursed Smith in the lead-up to WrestleMania 42. He also cursed the Knicks by association.

The Knicks had a rough start as the #3 Eastern Conference seed in the NBA Playoffs, going 1-2 initially against the Atlanta Hawks. However, they turned things around and in game six they crushed the Hawks 140 – 89 to advance to the conference semifinals.

Danhausen posted to his Twitter account to reveal that he had uncursed the Knicks. He said, “Good news! The New York Knicks scored a trillion points, or whatever it is, because Danhausen uncursed them. And now they get to continue playing on in the NBA Jams!”

He continued, “Best news of all, humans: it wasn’t Stephen A. Smith who paid off Danhausen, it was another fanhausen. So guess what, Stephen A. Smith? You know what that means. You’re, still, cursed! Go Knicks!”

You can see the full video below. No word as of yet on how the curse will affect the ESPN host.
