The Knicks have at least one guaranteed slam dunk for Game Four of the NBA Finals: The Wu-Tang Clan will perform at the game, a source tells Rolling Stone . Page Six was first to report the news. The game is set for Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden .

The Wu-Tang Clan are in the midst of their supposed farewell tour, Wu-Tang: The Final Chamber . The next North American leg of the trek is set to begin in August and conclude in Phoenix in October. The group is also set for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in November.

The Knicks are currently up two to one in their showdown with the San Antonio Spurs, which won Game Three. Game Four’s tip-off is set for 8:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

Although the Wu-Tang Clan have based their operations out of Staten Island since 1992, they have never performed together at a Knicks game, though the group’s Method Man has performed solo. But the team and members of the Wu-Tang Clan have a deep history.

In 2019, the Knicks reportedly paid Method Man millions, according to Bleacher Report , to create a music video in which he wore a Knicks jersey with Kevin Durant’s old number, 35, on it in an effort to woo the forward away from the Golden State Warriors. It didn’t work, though, and Durant signed with the Brooklyn Nets.
