Knicks Nation took to the skies on Monday.
A social media video circulated hours before the Knicks took on the Cavaliers for Game 4, showing former Knicks player Stephon Marbury leading an unidentified flight to Cleveland in a “Go New York, Go New York, Go!” chant.
“After the game. After the game, not before the game, we go crazy,” Marbury told the flight over the PA system.
That’s when the New York native broke into the famous Knicks chant, which passengers on the plane fully took part in.
In another video on social media, Marbury was seen hosting Knicks trivia for the other passengers and giving away a special edition pair of Knicks-themed glasses to the winner.
Marbury played five seasons for the Knicks and the team made one postseason appearance in that time.
He averaged 18.2 points per game during his days in the orange and blue and started 282 regular-season games for the organization.
From the flight that Marbury was on headed to Cleveland, it appears that the Knicks will be well represented during Game 4.
Knicks fans made their presence known during Game 3 as the Knicks took a 3-0 series lead with their 121-108 victory on Saturday.
Knicks fans have found cheaper tickets in Cleveland than MSG, allowing them the chance to see their team potentially clinch their first trip to the NBA Finals since 1999.

“It means the world to me as a born and bred New Yorker, living and dying with every shot,” Archer Batravil told The Post after making the trip to Cleveland from Miami for Game 4. “It’s been [27] years since 1999. I’m ready for the revenge game against the Spurs.”
The Knicks entered Monday’s contest having won 10 straight postseason games and having beaten their opponents by an average of 22.5 points.
