Nothin’ but net for Tracy Morgan and The Knicks

(Tracy Morgan is a fan)

Once a staple of the NBA Playoffs, the last 10 years have not been very kind to the New York Knicks. Aside from being beaten 4-1 in the first round against the Atlanta Hawks in 2021, the Knicks have perennially missed the playoffs. Until now.

New York is stoked. When the Knicks are in the playoffs, the city comes to life. There’s something about the “Blue and Orange” that infatuates and excites New Yorkers. That’s what director Nicolas Heller taps into In this client-direct campaign for MSG.

Despite a tight turnaround, Heller delivered an exciting docu-style 90-second spot (and a :30 cut down) entitled “All In All One, New York Forever!” that revels in the different feeling on the streets of New York when the Knicks are in the playoffs, and the possibility it brings with it.  The Knicks are in the playoffs and New York is stoked. From long-time couples to foam finger-carrying store owners to Wall Street to comedian Tracy Morgan, New York is happy. watch below:

Better known to his 1.1 million Instagram followers as @newyorknico, Heller is an acclaimed documentarian and commercial director known for sharing authentic stories of the unique people and places in his hometown of New York.

He’s worked with a variety of NYC celebrities over the years, including John Leguizamo, John Turturro, Edie Falco, Jerry Seinfeld, Fran Leibowitz, and Remy Ma and has collaborated with brand clients including Nike, State Farm, Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, the DC Lottery, Jagermeister, JetBlue, and more. His innate gift for putting people at ease and capturing their true essence on camera has earned him the title of “Unofficial Talent Scout of NYC.”
