The New York Knicks' return to the NBA Finals after nearly three decades created a special buzz, reflected in the spectator rows. Among the most loyal supporters were director Spike Lee, actors Ben Stiller and Tracy Morgan, whose names have long been synonymous with the Knicks.
They were joined by new-generation fan Timothée Chalamet, who this year became one of the most visible Knicks symbols off the court. In other games, pop culture icons like Taylor Swift and Kylie Jenner appeared, creating a feeling that the basketball game had turned into a global entertainment event.
Sydney Sweeney was a pleasant surprise – not everyone considered her a Knicks fan, but she loudly announced herself in the decisive games. Other notable attendees included Prince Harry, David Duchovny, Jimmy Fallon, and Jay-Z.
