On April 26, 2026, the New York Post published a column cautioning New York Knicks supporters not to portray NBA guard CJ McCollum as a villain inside Madison Square Garden.
The piece appears under the headline, “Knicks fans beware — why you shouldn’t try to turn CJ McCollum into a Garden villain,” and urges the fan base to avoid framing the player as an antagonist. Specific arguments for that stance are contained within the column.
The article’s timing coincides with continuing interest in how the Garden crowd treats visiting stars, but the columnist’s central message is clear: McCollum should not be cast in a hostile role when he takes the floor in New York.
