New York Knicks fans are still pinching themselves to check if their beloved team has truly ended a long and painful NBA title drought.
For actor Ben Stiller, it is truly a new era for his Knicks fandom.
“Thinking about how the end of the season is always sort of sad…and you sign off to people till the fall… and lament what happened…and try to justify what was good and try to feel positive about next year.…And how none of that s**t applies,” the “Tropic Thunder” actor wrote in a social media post on X, formerly Twitter.
Just like all the other long-time Knicks supporters, the 60-year-old Stiller endured a long time before seeing the team finally win the Larry O’Brien Trophy, something many other supporters of the franchise felt wouldn’t come to fruition.
Prior to 2026, the Knicks last won an NBA championship back in 1973, when Stiller was still months away from turning eight. In 1999, New York made the NBA Finals, but fell short against the San Antonio Spurs, the same franchise the Knicks defeated to end their title drought.
The Knicks stole the first two games of the San Antonio series on the road, and after losing Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, took the next two games to take home the crown.
With Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns and company stepping up and answering the call in the 2026 NBA Playoffs, he has an entire offseason to thump his chest and declare supremacy over all of the league’s other fanbases.
