Celebrity row at Madison Square Garden was back in action for Game 3.
Monday marked the Knicks’ first NBA Finals game in New York in 27 years, and the stars showed up for the historic moment, even if New York lost 115-111.
Knick superfans Timothée Chalamet and Fat Joe led the way, catching a ride to New York together in a private jet.
“Knicks in four, baby, Knicks in four,” Chalamet said on the runway.
Ben Stiller was also in his usual courtside seat with wife Christine Taylor at Game 3 after making appearances for both games in San Antonio.
The actor, director and producer was seen throughout press conferences and warmups taking videos on his phone — something he’s become known for during the postseason run.
Spike Lee, in a custom Pope Leo XIV Knicks jersey, “Saturday Night Live” alums Tracy Morgan and Tina Fey are also courtside along with “Law & Order” stars Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni.
It wouldn’t be a Knicks game without a platoon of former players showing support.
Patrick Ewing, Walt “Clyde” Frazier, and Allan Houston watched games in San Antonio and again were in the crowd for Game 3.
They were joined by the likes of former Knicks Gerald Wilkins, Al Harrington, Bill Bradley, Richie Guerin, Baron Davis, Tim Thomas, Charles Smith, Steve Novak and Jeremy Lin.
Fellow New York sports stars Eli Manning, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Rick Pitino, Francisco Lindor, John Franco, Juan Soto, Todd Zeile, Woody Johnson, Jonathan Quick, Adam Fox and Vincent Trocheck were also in the house to support the Knicks.
Becoming the first sitting U.S. president to attend an NBA Finals game, Donald Trump was in a suite after reportedly getting an invite from Knicks owner James Dolan.
His attendance has sparked controversy due to added security, further congesting an already crowded area of New York City.
Higher up in the stands than other notable fans, Mayor Zohran Mamdani opted for standing-room seats he paid over $1,000 for.
Tickets for anyone courtside paying full price cost an arm and a leg.
Game 3 of the NBA Finals boasts the fourth-highest average ticket price of any sporting event, per SeatGeek. The average cost of a ticket is $7,351.
A court-side ticket, though, went as high as $1 million in an auction the Knicks ran for charity.
