Mitchell Robinson didn’t forget those closest to him when celebrating the Knicks’ NBA title.
Robinson shared a special, quiet night with his neighbors ahead of the team’s championship parade Thursday down the Canyon of Heroes in lower Manhattan.
The moment was shared through a LinkedIn post by Lindsey Anthony — one of the Knicks center’s neighbors in a quiet New York suburb — and she praised Robinson for his decision where he had “nothing to gain from,” but did it anyway without cameras.

“He parked one of his infamous monster trucks that he’ll be on tomorrow in that driveway and let a neighborhood kids (and let’s be honest some parents) take a peek, sign some autographs (and a middle school yearbook!) and catch up about his infamous Knicks season,” Anthony wrote.
“No production. No entourage. Just him, showing up because he’s our neighbor and he said he would,” she added.
Anthony shared photos of various kids checking out the inside and outside details of Robinson’s orange and silver monster truck.
Robinson was also seen taking pictures with parents and got a big group picture with all of the kids in the neighborhood.
Robinson’s neighbor explained his appearance is the neighbor she knows, rather than what Knicks fans’ see on the surface on television, at games and during press conferences.
“Fans see the dunks and the foul shots and the game winning steals. Reporters get him in pressers and highlight reels, Anthony wrote. “We get him on a random night, with nothing to gain from it, doing it anyway. (Complete with a side of country music).”
“There’s a lesson in there for anyone whose job is reputation, mine included: the real story of someone’s character isn’t always on the court or at a press conference,” she added. “It’s what someone does when there is no camera and no upside. He’s quiet about almost all of it, on the court and in the driveway.”
Robinson brought the same monster truck to the Knicks championship parade, driving it at times and standing on the truck bed in others, waving and celebrating with fans along the route.
“Congratulations, #23. You have made your communit(ies) proud,” Anthony concluded.
