To celebrate the New York Knicks recent championship victory, and to remind New Yorkers to put trash in its proper place, on Friday, July 24, DSNY presented commemorative blue-and-orange, Knicks-themed litter baskets to five lucky winners selected at random, and a Kingsbridge Heights Knicks fan was among them. “The celebration of our championship team continues,” said DSNY Commissioner Gregory Anderson. “We saw during last month’s ticker tape parade some strong enthusiasm for these commemorative baskets. Today, we remind New Yorkers that you don’t have to make a mess on our sidewalks or steal public property to own a piece of history. And we remind all New Yorkers that littering is an offensive foul, and putting trash in a litter basket is a slam dunk.” Alfonso Bravo of Kingsbridge Heights, a Bronx native and longtime Knicks fan, said he was at the edge of his seat for the entire series, every single game. “It’s been a cra…
