The firm tapped to revamp Penn Station released a bright orange-and-blue rendering of the upcoming transportation mecca in honor of the basketball phenom’s historic win.
The Knicks’ pride is seen beaming out of Madison Square Garden as it looms behind the soon-to-be improved Penn Station, with an equally orange Empire State Building peering out from the background.
