- Tracy Morgan's prediction about what will happen if the New York Knicks win the NBA Championship is like a joke straight out of* 30 Rock*.

- The comedian said that the Statue of Liberty "might get pregnant" if the team takes home its first Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy in over 50 years.

- The Knicks face off against the San Antonio Spurs for Game 5 on Saturday night in San Antonio.

Tracy Morgan knows exactly what will happen in New York if the Knicks win it all.

The major Knicks fan made a Tracy Jordan-coded prediction on Monday night about what will go down in New York City if the Knicks win the NBA Championship. Morgan was in the ESPN broadcast booth briefly with Pat McAfee and his *30 Rock** *costar Tina Fey during Game 3.

"What does the city look like afterwards?" McAfee, who was hosting the alternate broadcast *NBA Finals All‑Access With the Pat McAfee Show*, asked the comedians. "We've only seen the internet clips of the entire place going crazy. Tonight could be legendary," he said.

Fey agreed. "I haven't been out in the streets past 9 [p.m.] in a long time," she said. "It seemed like it was crazy after these last games. All these watch parties around the city are really amazing, bringing people together.

Morgan chimed in, "I think the Statue of Liberty might get pregnant," leaving McAfee and Fey doubled over laughing. "That's the answer you're looking for. That's the one you wanted," Fey concluded.

Fans were equally as entertained online, calling Morgan's statement the "Most Tracy Morgan shiii I ever heard." "That is literally one of the funniest soundbytes of all time," another fan wrote. "Tracy Jordan line," a third said, calling back to his iconic *30 Rock *character.

"Lmao Tracy Morgan is like why Yall laughing? I’m so serious 🤣🤣🤣," someone else chimed in.

Morgan's love for the Knicks inspired his very own MTA announcement for the playoffs.

"Fellow Knicks fans! It's Tracy Morgan! Game night in New York starts on the subway. The whole city in orange and blue rolling in together. Orange and blue skies, baby!" the *Saturday Night Live *alum can be heard saying on New York's transit system.

"So take the train to the game. That's how we show up. Go New York, go New York, go!" he adds.
