The New York Post reported on June 10, 2026, that it enlisted a professional medium to conduct a séance intended to channel the late New York Knicks legend Willis Reed. The outlet said the session was arranged early in the playoff series “instead of waiting for Game 7,” a nod to Reed’s famed appearance in the 1970 NBA Finals decider.
The séance was organized to invoke Reed’s celebrated toughness and leadership in hopes of inspiring the current Knicks roster during a critical stretch of the postseason. Details about the location of the gathering, the identity of the medium, and specific reactions from team representatives were not disclosed in the report.
Reed, the Hall of Fame center who died in March 2023 at age 80, is best remembered for taking the floor despite injury in Game 7 against the Los Angeles Lakers and hitting the game’s first two shots, setting the tone for the franchise’s first championship.
