The hottest Instagram spot in Manhattan isn’t a new restaurant or bagel shop. It’s a subway entrance. Just a stone’s throw from Madison Square Garden, at 34th Street and Eighth Avenue, tucked away in the shadow of one of the most beloved spaces in the city, the entrance serving the A, C and E trains has become an unlikely attraction after being painted orange and blue in honor of the New York Knicks’ first NBA Finals appearance in 27 years. Half-basketballs painted around the light posts at the top of the steps complete the tribute to the home team. In just a few days, the station entrance, which has been transformed into a work of art overnight with a couple of fresh coats of paint, has created viral attention, with crowds of Knicks fans stopping by to take a selfie, shoot videos and celebrate a playoff run that has energized the city.

These New York food joints are 86ing the 76ers’ hometown sandwich. Restaurants and bars from Manhattan to Long Island were banning “Philly” cheesesteaks from the menu as the Knicks take on the 76ers in the NBA’s Eastern Conference Semifinals. Empire State spots said they were rebranding Philly cheesesteaks as “the Philly SUCKS cheesesteak,” “the Big Apple cheesesteak” and other cheeky names in response to The Post calling around to see if establishments were ready to dunk on the B-rate city. “Philly needs to understand, New York is the king,” said Louis Cretella, the co-owner of Dario’s Pizza in West Hempstead.

Now, four games into Year 2 in Manhattan, Mikal Bridges has started the season as well as anyone could hope. He’s shooting the ball at a high level from all over the 3-point line. Last season, his 3s only fell from the corner. He’s defending with the physicality and smarts that made the Knicks trade a handful of draft picks for him, which wasn’t always the case last season. He’s traded in some of his mid-range shots for layups and free throws. All while doing that in a Mike Brown system that appears tailor-made for Bridges’ style, he’s still offering a helping hand and comforting voice. Only this time around, he’s sharing the floor with the youngsters he helped prepare behind the scenes. “You can see that when he was a younger guy in the league that he had those vets, too,” Tyler Kolek said. “They built a culture of brotherhood. You don’t see that every day in the NBA nowadays. (Mikal) was so welcoming and teaching us the little things, and not just the basketball stuff. He shows us how to move, how to be a man and be an actual professional.”

The St. Bonaventure men's basketball program will host its first pro day on Saturday, Oct. 11, at the National Basketball Players Association training facility in midtown Manhattan. The historic event will be the first-ever pro day hosted by a team from a mid-major conference, as well as the first collegiate pro day at an off-campus site.
