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.

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

After a slow first quarter, New York went on to set a franchise record with 49 points in the second quarter, the most points scored in that quarter since the Knicks tallied 47 against the 76ers in 1988.

The Knicks went on to win the game, 126–107, and the fan got a shoutout from head coach David Fizdale.

Sign that guy up!
