A group of religious leaders gathered at Madison Square Garden to bless the New York Knicks before NBA Draft Lottery Day. “Here in New York, we need all the help we can get, especially from the higher powers,” proclaimed Rabbi Adam Mintz. He is joined by a priest, a shaman, two witches, and a miracle healer, all praying for the Knicks to score the first pick: Zion Williamson.

From 'NBA Draft Lottery: Rabbis and witches praying Knicks land Zion Williamson' - https://nypost.com/2019/05/13/nba-dra...
On Tuesday night, the Knicks will learn their place in the NBA draft lottery. With a No. 1 pick, they’d get Duke superstar Zion Williamson, as well as a commodity the team’s fans rarely have enjoyed: hope.
But these are the Knicks we’re talking about — luck is as rare as a playoff appearance. It’s time to invoke higher powers.
The Knicks need all the help they can get, considering their history since the last time the team won the lottery and picked Patrick Ewing No. 1 overall in 1985. Ewing led the team to 13 straight playoff appearances, including two trips to the NBA Finals, but they still haven’t won a championship since 1973. They haven’t even made the postseason for the past six years, all losing seasons, and they have won only one playoff series since Ewing left in 2000.
Lottery-wise, the Knicks have never moved up in the draft order at all after 1985’s jackpot. In the nine times the Knicks have played poorly enough to be in the lottery since 1985, they have yet to land a franchise-changing player. And no matter how many free agents they have signed, head coaches they have shuffled through, or front-office executives they have put in charge, the team has been a franchise beset by negativity.
The Post figured it’s time to ask a higher power for help with the pingpong balls Tuesday night.
A rabbi, a priest, a miracle healer and medical medium, a shaman, a member of the Eckankar clergy and two witches all came to the Garden in recent days. What ensued was a mix of blessings, cleansings and other-worldly manifestations in an attempt to reverse the Knicks’ fortunes.
Five lit candles sat on the sidewalk on the corner of 32nd Street and Seventh Avenue. In the middle was a small cauldron and a pentacle, a metal disk inscribed with a star — all of it facing north, as per Wiccan ritual, directed toward the spirit.
Two witches lit sage sticks and walked around the candles, the incense cleansing the area of negative energies and spirits to clear the way for their “intentions” to rise up into the universe and to the Goddess Fortuna.
Priestess Rosalyn Windsong and Joanne Tsz Yan, wearing all black to reflect negativity, then stopped to ask for good energy and followed with a chant.
The Rev. Anthony Sirianni has been to Mount Zion in Jerusalem, a setting in the Hebrew scriptures where God appeared and gave blessings and strength.
The Knicks might benefit from a trip there. In the meantime, they got a blessing from Sirianni.
Sirianni would prescribe Our Fathers and Hail Marys, too, for any parishioners seeking divine intervention with the pingpong balls. It could take every last one to land the No. 1 pick and Williamson — from the “Holy Land of Duke,” Sirianni joked.
In her sessions, miracle healer and medical medium Donna McGrath usually asks why her clients have called. Where to start with the Knicks? The triangle?
Then McGrath goes back to the years when the trauma first happened. There’s plenty to choose from.
So into her left hand went all the losing and failed lotteries of years past. In the right, thoughts of 1985, Patrick Ewing and Zion Williamson.
McGrath, who usually lends her energy to help heal sick patients, offered her help for a team in need of a miracle of its own. She brought with her energy wands blessed by a guru in Australia, each with a different intention.
The aftermath of the 1985 lottery was filled with conspiracy theories that NBA executives had rigged it for the Knicks. The frozen envelope. The creased corner. A hand from the auditing firm.
There are plenty of safeguards against those in 2019, but perhaps Joey Stann could help. A shaman, Stann stood in the rain Friday offering to communicate telepathically with executives who will be in the room.
