On Sunday, the Detroit Pistons had to take the New York subway to reach the Nets hall before the game in Brooklyn. This was due to the massive traffic chaos caused by the New York City Marathon, which closed many major roads throughout the city.
The Pistons, who were scheduled to play at Barclays Center at 3:30 p.m., opted for Subway Line 3 to avoid the marathon traffic. The team’s Instagram account posted videos and photos of the players commuting like any other New Yorkers, capturing the moment as they boarded the subway with their luggage.
“Arriving at Barclays Center, New York Style”
NBA stars like Cade Cunningham ($13.9 million annual salary), Tobias Harris ($25.3 million) and Isaiah Stewart ($15 million) were seen hanging out with other New York City commuters Finding your way around the subway and looking for seats. The Pistons’ social media posts read, “The NYC Marathon took us on a detour” and “Arriving at Barclays Center, New York style.”
Despite the unconventional journey, the otherwise weak Pistons managed to put in a convincing performance and defeat the Nets 106:92. Fans and social media users found the situation amusing, with many suggesting that the subway ride could become a pregame ritual for the team when it plays in the Big Apple.
Surprise at customs too
A woman from Iran also caused a surprise. When they searched the luggage, the customs officers were amazed when they searched their luggage. They found gold worth 15,000 euros from the citizen’s benefit recipient.
