Two die-hard New York Knicks fans took their team pride to a whole new level.

They named their newborn, Knickson Fyve Bradford, after the team's playoff slogan, "Knicks in Five."

The Bradford family were seven months into the pregnancy when the Knicks won the NBA Finals this summer.

After they found out they were having a boy, they scrapped their original name choice in favor of a tribute to their favorite team.

Knickson Fyve was born Aug. 8, weighing 8 pounds, 8 ounces.
