Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr. breaks out perfect celly for Knicks champs

The New York Yankees turned Wednesday night into another sports celebration for the city. Jazz Chisholm Jr. gave New Yorkers a memorable crossover moment with a Euro step celebration after his late home run vs. the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night.

Chisholm homered during New York’s 10-5 win over the South Siders, helping the Pinstripes complete a three-game sweep. The blast came on a night filled with Knicks championship energy at Yankee Stadium, adding another memorable moment to New York’s ongoing celebration.

Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart were at Yankee Stadium after throwing ceremonial first pitches before the game. Their appearance continued the Knicks’ citywide celebration following the franchise’s 2026 NBA Finals victory.

The scene gave fans another shared moment between two franchises enjoying big stages, with the Knicks celebrating a title and the Yankees continuing their push through June.

MLB posted the clip on X, formerly Twitter, showing Chisholm saluting New York’s newest champions after crossing home plate with a basketball-inspired move.

The celebration fit the moment. The Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs on June 13, ending a 53-year title drought and giving New York another championship storyline.

The 28-year-old slugger’s euro step celebration worked because it connected both clubs without needing much explanation. Brunson had just won NBA Finals MVP, and the Yankees crowd clearly understood the tribute.

The moment also added flair to another strong Yankees performance. The Bronx Bombers continue to build momentum while handing the White Sox their ninth straight loss at Yankee Stadium.

For the Yankees, it was another productive night in the standings as they grabbed their fourth consecutive win. For New York sports fans, the Knicks’ NBA title run has energized the city, serving as a reminder of just how much it has done so.

Chisholm has always been outspoken, and Wednesday gave him the perfect stage. His home run mattered in a series-clinching win, but the celebration helped turn it into a viral New York moment.
