Knicks fans are congratulating Cody, the young fan who wanted a playoff spot for Christmas in 2014

It might have been a little confusing to New York Knicks fans when they saw a tweet from the franchise come across their Twitter timelines Wednesday night: “CODY, WE DID IT.”

Cody? Who’s that? What does that have to do with the Knicks making the postseason for the first time since 2013?

Let’s go back a year after that: in 2014, a young fan named Cody was featured on an ESPN broadcast with the following chyron: “Christmas wish: Knicks make playoffs.”

You know what’s happened since then. Cody hasn’t gotten his Christmas wish … UNTIL NOW!

So of course this is becoming a meme:

Woohoo!!
