Perhaps ESPN personality and New York Knicks superfan Stephen A. Smith should thank WWE star Danhausen for lifting his curse and for fellow fan Anne Hathaway for helping the team advance in the playoffs after beating the Atlanta Hawks in Game 6.

Danhausen reacted to the Knicks ' 51-point beatdown of the Hawks on X, formerly Twitter, calling Smith out, writing, "Everyone better thank Danhausen and Anne Hathaway for joining forces," while tagging ESPN and Smith.
While Smith has yet to respond, expect him to continue his feud with Danhausen. After the Knicks fell down 2-1 to the Hawks in the series, he "cursed" the team.
Of course, Danhausen is also referencing the viral Hathaway memes after OG Anunoby 's 29-point performance. Before the game, Hathaway told Jimmy Fallon she almost wore Anunoby's jersey to The Tonight Show .
Danhausen also posted a video of himself saying, "Boom! How about them Knicks? Give me some money!" It's unknown if he'll continue to keep his curse lifted.

On Thursday, Apr. 30, 2026, the Knicks took on the Hawks on their home court in Game 6 of their series. If the Knicks won, they would advance. If they lost, they would play Game 7 at Madison Square Garden.
They left little up for debate with their win. The Knicks blew out the Hawks by 51 points, and the game was never close. Now, they get to watch as the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers play Game 7 to determine their opponent.
The Knicks were down 2-1 at one point in the series. They looked lost after losing two games in a row by one point. They then won all three of the final games by more than 10 points. The last two were blowouts, as New York won Games 5 and 6 by 29 and 51 points, respectively.
