Which celebrities can you catch courtside when the New York Knicks face off in the NBA Finals?
The last time the New York Knicks were in the NBA Finals, almost half of their fans hadn’t been born yet. It’s been 27 years for Knicks fans, a long time for any fandom, and it’s been even longer since they won. So we can fully expect their fans to come out in full force, especially the celebrities. Actor Timothee Chalamet has been courtside for plenty of Knicks games, particularly in the playoffs.
Here’s what other celebrities are known Knicks fans or might be seen courtside:
- Timothee Chalamet and girlfriend Kylie Jenner
- Spike Lee, the ultimate Knicks fan and a huge supporter of NY sports in general.
- Ben Stiller, a true die-hard Knicks fan.
- Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan were spotted next to Chalamet and Jenner during the first round of the NBA playoffs.
- Taylor Swift and soon-to-be husband Travis Kelce were just spotted courtside for Knicks at Cavs. Swift is a NYC resident, while Kelce is an Ohio-native. However, it’s unlikely they would attend as Kelce is a known Cavs fan.
- Several other musicians have been spotted courtside, including Fat Joe, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.
- Another big supporter who is often seen at high-profile matchups is actor Jason Bateman, and what’s more high-profile than the Finals?
