Long Island resident James Hentschel of Deer Park is marking the NBA Finals with a large LED display outside his home. Multiple outlets report that he spent about $5,000 and roughly 40 hours installing a light setup featuring 10,000 LEDs arranged as a Knicks-themed display. The lights are intended as a celebration tied to the team’s postseason run, and Hentschel says the display remains up until the Knicks win. The reporting describes the display as a costly, time-intensive project and frames it as a longtime style of fan enthusiasm, taking place at his residence in Deer Park, Long Island. Both sources characterize the effort in similar terms—highlighting the number of LEDs, the approximate cost, the installation time, and the condition that the lights stay up through the outcome of the Finals. No additional details about the specific design elements of the display, the duration of the installation process beyond the 40 hours, or any response from the league or local officials are included in the shared accounts.
