How long before they get Knick’d?

The city is honoring the Knicks’ legendary championship clinch by installing temporary street signs feting them in Manhattan – but New Yorkers say it’s only a matter of time before the instant-classic markers are clinched by die-hard fans.

The 18 blue and orange signs, dispersed across Sixth and Seventh avenues Monday, will remain up for a month, with each honoring a member of the team.

“I probably would have been up attempting to” snag Jalen Brunson’s sign if people weren’t around, quipped fan Caleb Vasquez to The Post.

“It’s amazing,” he said of the street-sign gesture. “It’s been 53 years, it’s the least we could do to celebrate the team.”

Syd Bland,29, a project manager from Brooklyn, said of Brunson’s sign at Seventh Avenue South and West 11th Street, “Listen, it’s 3:02 right now on a Monday.

“It’s going to be gone by 11:58 tonight.”

A 41-year-old artist named Faust added, “To be honest, I was walking up Sixth Avenue, and I thought it already got taken.

“Funny enough, I think on Bowery there was a street sign named after the Ramones, and that was the most stolen street sign in New York history. So I wouldn’t be surprised if this one takes the new crown.”

City Hall and the Department of Transportation, which produces the signs, did not respond to a Post request for comment about what steps they might be taking to combat the potential thefts.

A female director at JPMorgan Chase was already infamously caught on video emptying a celebratory public Knicks trash can on the street — then stealing it during the team’s parade — a move that got her fired.

Each new Knicks city street sign will feature a player’s name and will correspond to their jersey number – with the likes of Jalen Brunson taking Seventh Avenue South and West 11 Street and Karl-Anthony Towns repping Seventh Avenue and West 32 Street.

“This New York Knicks team brought so much life to our streets during their magical playoff run, so it’s only right we return the favor,” Department of Transportation Commissioner Mike Flynn said in a statement. 

“With each postseason win, more and more New Yorkers came together in the streets, on sidewalks and in plazas to watch the Knicks play and celebrate their improbable comebacks. New Yorkers will never forget this historic championship run or the players that brought them together for the most joyful 10 weeks we’ve ever experienced.”

The DOT signs will be up for four weeks, a rep for the city said, adding to iconic 34th Street being painted in the team’s colors through the 2026-27 NBA season.

Aaron Friedman, a 45-year-old software engineer, agreed with other locals that there is “a high likelihood” for theft.

“I think people are going to try,” added a 35-year-old fan named Ricky.

“I was thinking I might pop out … when they’re taking it down, but I doubt they’ll give it to me,” he said of city workers.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a statement, “This championship belongs to every fan who packed our parks and plazas and every neighbor who high-fived a stranger after another impossible comeback.”

“These street signs are a tribute to the players who delivered the championship generations of fans waited their whole lives to see and the city that stood behind them every step of the way,” he said.

“Long after the confetti is gone, New Yorkers will be able to walk these streets and remember the team that brought our city so much joy. Knicks in five.”
