It’s the kind of moment that never fades.
One devoted New York Knicks fan has recreated the team’s unforgettable Finals Game 4 “tip-in” in his front yard—with a spooky Halloween spin. The elaborate scene is now going viral.
Vladimir Biberica’s display in Tenafly, New Jersey, brings to life the iconic play in which Knicks star OG Anunoby tipped in the game-winning basket to complete a dramatic 29-point comeback during New York’s run toward the NBA championship. In Biberica’s Halloween version, however, Anunoby is tipping a pumpkin instead of a basketball.
The scene also features a 12-foot Victor “Wem-bone-yama,” a skeletal stand-in for San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, along with Celebrity Row spectators including skeleton versions of Timothée Chalamet and a wig-wearing Taylor Swift.
Biberica, who creates extravagant Halloween displays on his front lawn every year, said he knew almost immediately that the game-winning play would become his theme for 2025.
“It was such an iconic moment—once it happened, I told my family if the Knicks win it all, that’s this year’s theme,” Biberica told The Post.
The homeowner said he worked to reproduce the play as precisely as possible, carefully matching each player’s position and calculating the distance between every figure and the hoop.

Even such a painstaking recreation has drawn a few playful complaints. Some visitors, he joked, wanted Celebrity Row to be even more complete.
“People were complaining that I didn’t have [Law and Order star] Mariska Hargitay—but the only reason she wasn’t there is because I didn’t have a wig that would’ve looked like her,” Biberica said with a chuckle.
The Knicks-themed tip-in is only the latest concept in Biberica’s annual Halloween tradition. Past displays have included Spooky Night Fever, Dead Zeppelin, Barbie’s Bone Yard, Star Wars: Return of the Dead-i, the Boos Cruise and LeBone James. That history explains why he already had a 12-foot skeleton “just sitting around” in his garage.
This year’s display, though, has attracted more attention than any of the others.
“I’m completely flabbergasted—I can’t believe it’s blowing up the way it is,” he said.
Biberica’s home has since become a local attraction. With crowds flocking to the property to see the Halloween display, police have placed barriers along the block.
“I’m just trying to make the neighborhood happy and have fun,” he said, adding that he was pleased to see the Knicks’ iconic moment continuing to bring people together.
“When a New York sports team wins, it’s awesome for the whole area.”
