It’s a moment that will never die.
A New York Knicks fanatic recreated the Finals Game 4 “tip in” in his yard with an undead twist for Halloween — and now the display is going viral.
Vladmir Biberica’s now-viral display in Tenafly, New Jersey shows the now-iconic moment Knicks star OG Anunoby tipped in a game winner to cap off an epic 29-point comeback on New York’s road to the NBA championship — but instead of a basketball he’s tipping in a pumpkin.
It also includes a 12-foot Victor “Wem-bone-yama” standing in for San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama and even Celebrity Row skeletal spectators like Timothée Chalamet and a wigged-out Taylor Swift.
Biberica, who decorates his front lawn for Halloween yearly with outlandish displays, said he knew that the game-winning shot would be this year’s theme the second the buzzer sounded.
“It was such an iconic moment — once it happened, I told my family if the Knicks win it all, that’s this year’s theme,” Biberica told The Post.
The homeowner said he tried his very best to recreate the shot as accurately as possible, from where each player was standing and calculating how far each player was from the hoop.
But even his super detailed display has his critics, including those who wanted a more defined Celebrity Row, he joked.
“People were complaining that I didn’t have [Law and Order star] Mariska Hargitay — but the only reason she wasn’t there is because I didn’t have a wig that would’ve looked like her,” Biberica said with a chuckle.
The tip-in is just his latest themed Halloween display, he said. Previous displays included Spooky Night Fever, Dead Zeppelin, Barbie’s Bone Yard, Star Wars: Return of the Dead-i, the Boos Cruise, and even LeBone James — which is why he said he already had a 12-foot skeleton just “sitting around” in his garage.
But this years has gotten the most attention.
“I’m completely flabbergasted — I can’t believe it’s blowing up the way it is,” he said.
Biberica’s home has now become a tourist attraction, with so many people showing up to his house to see the display that police have set up barriers on the block.
“I’m just trying to make the neighborhood happy and have fun,” he said, adding that he’s happy the Knicks iconic moment is continuing to bring people together.
“When a New York sports team wins, it’s awesome for the whole area.”
