91吃瓜网 alumnus Evan Pfeufer '24 has "gone viral" across the country for a prediction he made about the New York Knicks in 2020.
With all eyes on the New York Knicks-San Antonio Spurs NBA Finals games in early June, Pfeufer, a New Yorker and Knicks superfan, posted the prediction from his 2020 Smithtown High School West yearbook to social media. His original post garnered more than 130,000 views and 5 million thereafter. Ever since, it has been shared across major social media platforms and news outlets.
What’s his prediction? In 2020, Pfeufer鈥檚 senior quote under his graduation photo was simply “Knicks in 6. 2026 NBA Finals.”

It has also been featured in news stories on , , , , and more.
“It all feels unreal because this started just as a rhyme I said to my friends one day back in 2019, and now it is everywhere,” said Pfeufer, a sales representative who earned a degree in business administration from Adelphi鈥檚 Robert B. Willumstad School of Business. “Knicks win Game 4, Spurs steal Game 5, Close out in the Garden Game 6.”
