While there are plenty of celebrity New York Knicks fans, famous actor Ben Stiller is certainly near the top of the list.
Stiller is almost always sitting courtside, and on Monday night he joined several other notable fans — including Timothée Chalamet, Spike Lee, and Tracy Morgan — to watch New York close out its series against the Cleveland Cavaliers and advance to the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years.
Following the game, Stiller made several posts on social media, including one featuring his own recording of the final moments. He shared a broom emoji alongside a video capturing Mike Brown and Kenny Atkinson shaking hands at midcourt, while also showing the immediate reactions from several Knicks players after the win.

Outside of that, Ben Stiller made another post a few hours later around 1 a.m. ET, sharing a screenshot of his phone lock screen, which featured a photo of Karl-Anthony Towns.
“It’s 1 a.m. KNICKS ARE EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPS,” Stiller wrote.
The Knicks will now get several days off before the NBA Finals begin on June 3, where they will face the winner of the Western Conference Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder, a series currently tied 2-2.
Whoever advances will hold home-court advantage over New York due to their superior regular-season record, meaning Madison Square Garden would not host its first NBA Finals game until Game 3.
