Watch: Knicks Fan Sinks Half-Court Shot for $10K at Season Opener

The New York Knicks kicked off the 2018-19 season against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.

While the Knicks were 0/9 to start the game, a fan was 1/1 after sinking a shot from half-court for a $10,000 prize.

Watch the half-court shot below:

Naturally, viewers had a field day with the fact that a fan scored before the team had made a single field goal.
