Danhausen has been involved with the New York Knicks since April. They’ve gone on an undefeated streak in the NBA Playoffs after Danhausen uncursed them ahead of Game Six of the first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks. The “Very Nice, Very Evil” character also attended Game Three at the MSG earlier this week.
