Biberica’s detailed and elaborate setup has garnered significant attention online and turned his home into a local tourist attraction, with police setting up barriers due to increased traffic.

Story summary

A New York Knicks fan in Tenafly, New Jersey has created a viral Halloween display recreating the iconic moment from Finals Game 4 when OG Anunoby tipped in a game-winning shot. The homeowner, Vladimir Biberica, meticulously set up the scene with skeletons dressed as NBA players and a pumpkin instead of a basketball. NBC New York captured footage showing a 12-foot skeleton wearing a San Antonio Spurs jersey to represent star player Victor Wembanyama defending against Jalen Brunson's shot, highlighting the 29-point comeback that helped secure the Knicks' championship victory after a 53-year drought. The display went viral, drawing attention for its detailed recreation and undead theme, with Biberica noting he planned it as soon as Anunoby's tip-in occurred during the game.
