There’s been no shortage of both drama and celebrities when it comes to the NBA Finals in New York City.

It wasn’t just an amazing game, but a heck of an experience when it comes to seeing how the celebs reacted when they realized the Knicks made history in front of them.

I also love that this was shot in black and white by Ben Stiller from courtside in the most dramatic, artistic way possible. To be honest, I’d love a subplot in the next season of Severance where Mark S is told the Knicks win the finals and he assumes it has to be a deepfake by Lumon.
Taylor would go on to party in the tunnel as well.

I truly, honestly, love this for him. Chalamet comes by his Knicks’ fandom honestly, and his love of the team has been established for a long, long time. Well, a relatively long time when you’re 30-years-old. My man ended up being so hyped up that he grabbed a mic from Entertainment Tonight and cut his own promo in the tunnel after the game.

This is easily my favorite one, because Fat Joe is taking credit for the Knicks win. He tracked down Stephen A. Smith after the game and claims that his dancing (and possibly the glare off his chains) caused Victor Wembanyama to miss two critical free throws at the end of the game. This might be the only time I’ve seen SAS struggle to know what to say.

Mike Brown gave at least a little credence to the idea that Fat Joe helped out.
"Fat Joe's sitting there with all these chains on, and every time he jumped up, freakin' lights with those chains — they blinded me. So it was a little hard. Fat Joe, keep wearing the chains, because you look smooth." – MIke Brownpic.twitter.com/1W6Fb1kuTt

I’m just happy that we get to talk about Fat Joe in 2026.

LOOK AT HOW MANY SPIKE LEE IS.
Even if you hate the Knicks, you have to feel some joy for a long downtrodden hardcore fan like Spike.
Just listen to the joy from this man:
