First, it was the New York Knicks' first NBA title in 53 years. Then it was the "American royal wedding" between pop star Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce keeping the historic Madison Square Garden busy this summer. However, summer at the world's most famous arena isn't over yet. The Jonas Brothers' three-night stint at MSG for the "Burnin' Up Tour All Over Again" kicks off Aug. 20. Raised in New Jersey, the three brothers, who are featured in the new Disney film "Camp Rock 3," are New York sports fans and have been unwavering supporters of the Knicks, so the venue just seems fitting, especially during a summer like this. "Going back to last year, the run [the Knicks] made in the playoffs, I was in New York at the time doing a show on Broadway and was around it every day, feeling the energy in the city. It was electric," Jonas told ESPN. "Cut to this year, and just to see them complete the journey during the finals and what that meant to the city as a whole ... it was pretty incredible to see." On the cusp of a historic New York summer and ahead of performing at halftime of the NFL Week 1 game between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia, ESPN sat down with Nick Jonas to assign Jonas Brothers songs to his favorite New York team from each league. New York Knicks: 'Love Bug' Again, the Knicks are still the moment after winning their first NBA championship in more than 50 years. This sweet ballad from the Jonas Brothers, released in 2008, perfectly sums up how Nick Jonas feels about his team. "It just feels right for them," he said. New York Giants: 'Sucker' The NFL regular season is right around the corner, and many New York sports fans are loyal to "Big Blue." The Giants also have a humongous fanbase, just like "Sucker." In 2019, the group's comeback single struck the top of the Billboard charts -- the Jonas Brothers' first-ever No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. "I'm probably going to go with 'Sucker' because it's the biggest one, the most important [song], to some," Jonas told ESPN. New York Yankees: 'Burnin' Up' Just like the Yankees, there's so much nostalgia that comes with "Burnin' Up." The song, released in 2008, was one of the first smash hits for the Jonas Brothers. As for the Yankees, they are one of the most revered franchises in sports. "[The Yankees are] more like legacy," Jonas said.
