For the past few weeks the New York Knicks playoff run has had all of New York in a chokehold as last second shots and big time comeback wins have given New Yorkers reason to celebrate and act-a-fool, but one particular fan has taken his love of the team to a new and entertaining level.

According to Page Six, a Brooklyn-based audio engineer and musician by the name of Doug Berns has been making a name for himself on social media by releasing his own remixed versions of New York Knicks game recaps that feature some music performed by the Brooklyn dad. Breaking down how each game stirred up emotions in his Knicks loving soul that millions of New Yorkers have been dealing with for the past few weeks, Berns has been going through the motions for months now and said the inspiration for his idea came due to "The emotional roller coaster of investing in this team is really, really intense. My songs tell the stories of those roller coasters, I hope."

Page Six reports:

While Berns started the project with the goal of writing one original metal song inspired by a Knicks game, he found that musical parodies of '90s rock and hip hop tunes resonated deeply with audiences - and his videos have since drawn over 15,000 Instagram followers and millions of views since he began the series on Nov. 13 after a win against the Philadelphia 76ers.

"My wheelhouse is music that I grew up listening to, and a lot of my millennial contemporaries are Knick fans that grew up in the last golden age of Knicks basketball," Berns told The Post. "Most of [the parodies] are songs that swirl around in our emotional hearts and minds."

In the months since Berns launched the endeavor, he's found fans in filmmaker Spike Lee, as well as Knicks players Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart - who showcased one of Berns' songs on their podcast Roommates Show.

The musical recaps really are hella entertaining and hilarious.

While most New Yorkers may be scared to look silly or even ridiculous by expressing their love of the Knicks in such a way, Berns has no issue with such judgement from others and is proud to have gone this route for the team he truly loves.

"I feel like I've been searching for a way to express my talent and fandom and personality for a long time, and I found it with this thing," he added. "My goal is to continue giving fans this thing that makes them happy: win or lose.

"It's a little microcosm of [the team's] successes and failures and triumphs and rejection," he added. "Music is a way of telling stories of people's lives, and I think doing both is a meta way to look at all of that."
