Ben Stiller Celebrates Knicks’ Historic NBA Finals Berth

Ben Stiller, a well-known supporter of the New York Knicks, frequently attends games sitting courtside. On Monday night, he was part of a group of notable fans, including Timothée Chalamet, Spike Lee, and Tracy Morgan. They watched as the Knicks secured their place in the NBA Finals by defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers. This marks the team’s first Finals appearance in 27 years.

After the game, Stiller actively shared his excitement on social media. He posted a video capturing the final moments, highlighting Mike Brown and Kenny Atkinson’s handshake at midcourt. The video also showcased the immediate reactions of Knicks players celebrating their victory. Alongside the video, he used a broom emoji to signify the series sweep.

Later, around 1 a.m. ET, Stiller made another post. This time, he shared a screenshot of his phone lock screen. The image featured Karl-Anthony Towns, accompanied by the caption, “It’s 1 a.m. KNICKS ARE EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPS.”

The Knicks now have a brief period of rest before the NBA Finals begin on June 3. They will face either the San Antonio Spurs or Oklahoma City Thunder, with the series currently tied at 2-2. The opponent will have home-court advantage due to their better regular-season performance. This means Madison Square Garden will host its first NBA Finals game in Game 3.
