Lorem iPSum Dolor / Lorem iPSum Dolor PRIČA IZ NJUJORKA TALE FROM NEW YORK GDE VLADAJU NIKSI POD SVODOM GARDENA
UNDER THE VAULT OF THE GARDEN, WHERE THE KNICKS RULE
N ew York. It’s a world. Not a city. (Njujork. To je svet. Nije grad.) Tako kažu Nju- jorčani, ali i oni koji su to bili makar na tren. Njujork je priča za sebe. Ne liči ni na šta, ni na koga. Tamo su najpoznatije face na svetu samo prolaznici – jer Njujork je jedina prava zvezda u Njujorku. A odmah potom dolaze NBA di- vovi. Prvi ili poslednji, ne menja stvar. Dve reči – Njujork Niksi. Za njih kažu da imaju najbolje navi- jače na svetu. Navijače koji vreme mere od sezone do sezone, koji no- vac čuvaju za sezonske karte, koji su spremni na sve za dve ulaznice, makar mesta bila na vrhu Medi- son skver gardena (prosečna cena karte iznosi 132 dolara), najveće hale na svetu. Čuveni Garden osnovan je 1879, selio se potom u dva navrata
Navijači ove godine ponovo maštaju o tituli. Možda nije realno, ali košarkaši daju sve od sebe za tu ljubav sa tribina. Za slavu. Za Njujork Fans dream of a title again this year. It may not be realistic, but the players give their all for that love from the stands. For glory. For New York.
New York. It's a world. Not a city. So say New Yorkers, but also those who have only been there for a moment. New York is a story in its own right. It doe- sn’t resemble anything or anyone. There the most famous faces in the world are just passersby. That’s because New York is the only real star in New York. And then immediately after that come the NBA giants. First or last, it doesn’t change a thing. Three words – New York Knicks! They are said to have the best fans in the world. Fans who measure time from season to season, who save money for sea- son tickets, who are prepared to do anything for two tickets even if that’s for seats at the top of Madison Square Garden (the average ticket price is $132), the world’s largest hall. The famous Garden was originally established in 1879, after which it relocated twice around Man- hattan, only to come to its final position at the top of one of the city’s main railway stations, Penn Station, in 1969. It became the home of the New York Knicks and Rangers, and is without rival as the most exciting and most beloved sports hall on the planet. Whether they were playing for the Knicks or against them, all players wanted to play at Madison. Probably the best
