A magical Game 1 win brought the Knicks’ most famous fans out for more.
Celebrity Row at Madison Square Garden was packed as always, with regulars and Knicks superfans Timothée Chalamet and Ben Stiller leading the charge alongside Tracy Morgan and Spike Lee for Game 2 against the Cavaliers.
Stiller’s hype for the second game of the Eastern Conference began well before he entered the World’s Most Famous Arena.
“LETS GO KNICKS,” he posted on X before 10 a.m.
Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman and Chris Rock were also in attendance.
What would a Knicks playoff game be without some of the franchise’s own?
A cadre of alumni took in the action, with John Starks, Patrick Ewing, Stephon Marbury and Walt “Clyde” Frazier watching the current generation of stars — sometimes a little too close, as Starks and Marbury nearly took their courtside celebrations onto the parquet during Monday’s series opener.
Game 1 featured the likes of rock star Lenny Kravitz, actor Michael J. Fox and his wife, actress Tracy Pollan, “Sopranos” stars Michael Imperoli and Steve Schirripa, iconic actor Dustin Hoffman, comedian John Leguizamo and “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon.
Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg sat courtside — though current mayor Zohran Mamdani did not show as concerns over a potential curse loom over his presence following an appearance at a Mets game that preceded an 11-game losing streak.
