Bernard Bowen was expecting a big night, a doubleheader of quarterfinal playoff games in his Nike Pro City pro-am league that would include Knicks forward Obi Toppin.

But this went way beyond his loftiest aspirations. Because it wasn’t just Toppin who showed up to play for the Hoopsville squad on Monday night. He was joined by two of his Knicks teammates, Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson, the team’s newly signed $104 million dollar point guard.

The crowd at Hostos Community College in The Bronx was standing room-only. It was summer basketball at its romanticized best, big stars immersing themselves in the community.

“It was electrifying,” Bowen, the tournament director, told The Post. “You’re talking about Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson. They’re the face of the Knicks. Those are max players. They came out to show love to the city and play. That was just so dope of them.”
