Madison Square Garden was electrified on May 29 as the New York Knicks faced off against the Indiana Pacers in a critical Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, with a bevy of celebrity superfans cheering on their team.
Leading the charge was iconic filmmaker Spike Lee, a lifelong Knicks supporter, who boldly stated he would trade an Oscar for the team’s first championship in over 50 years. Dressed in a vibrant blue and orange pinstripe suit, Lee made headlines not just for his outfit but also for his passionate presence, even appearing on "Inside the NBA" alongside basketball legends.
Joining him in the stands was actor and comedian Ben Stiller, well-known for films like "Night at the Museum" and "Zoolander." Stiller is a longtime Knicks fan, and he was spotted enthusiastically supporting the team from Celebrity Row.
Comedian Tracy Morgan, famous for his roles in "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock," also contributed to the lively atmosphere. The fun-loving Morgan participated in a T-shirt toss, managing to snag some Knicks merchandise, much to the delight of the crowd.
Adding a touch of glamour, actor Timothée Chalamet was seen at the game with reality star Kylie Jenner. The couple wore matching jackets and exchanged sweet moments in front of the Jumbotron, drawing cheers from fans and encouraging more buzz around the event.
