A-list celebrities are celebrated after the Knicks won an NBA championship on Saturday with a Game 5 win against the Spurs.
Prince HarryTimothée Chalamet, Ben Stiller, Tracy Morgan, Sydney Sweeney and there were even more stars in the crowd as the Knicks trailed the Spurs 94 to 90 to capture their first championship since 1973.
Chalamet, a New York native and longtime Knicks fan, celebrated on the court with star center Karl-Anthony Towns shortly after the final whistle blew.
“Much prefer this to the Oscars, come on baby,” says the actor, who has been nominated for four Academy Awards, said after the game. “Knicks are champs, baby!”
Cardi B, also a native New Yorker, recorded herself watching the game and screaming with elation when the Knicks won.
The blowout win in San Antonio comes after a nail-biter on Wednesday – the Knicks came from behind with a stunning comeback victory to secure a 107-106 win.
Taylor Swift, 36 – who stayed in NYC with fiancé Travis Kelce for Game 5 – attended Game 4 and was spotted shouting with friend Mariska Hargitay after the upset win, later starring in “Law & Order: SVU.” called ‘the biggest night of (her) life’.
“I love my husband, and our wedding night was great and all, but I think it might have been the best night of my life,” the 62-year-old actress told the Hollywood Reporter earlier this week.
The longtime Knicks superfan detailed Game 4’s defining moments in a statement to the outlet, calling it “brutal.”
“The game was so brutal, down 29 at the half, but I’m telling you, watching this team fight and claw their way back — to see that look in Jalen (Brunson)’s eyes — there are just endless life lessons in there,” Hargitay wrote.
“And then OG (Anunoby) comes flying in, his orange and blue cape billowing behind him, and then it’s just pandemonium.”
Hargitay told the outlet that the moment will undoubtedly be “replayed over and over again, not just as an epic moment in basketball, but in the highlights of the best moments in sports.”
Brunson, meanwhile, revealed that he is specifically looking for Hargitay on the sidelines at every game. “Love her to death (and) she knows it,” he said on the “Richard Jefferson Show,” calling her his “No. 1.”
Swift and Hargitay were joined at MSG by A-listers including Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun, Tate McRae, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor and more.
Alana and Este Haim joined Swift and Hargitay’s court in matching, custom-made punny shirts to support the team.
Bryan Greenberg and his wife, Jamie Chung, watched the victory from a box at Madison Square Garden that also included Keke Palmer, Finneas, Tracee Ellis Ross and Nina Dobrev.
Meanwhile, stars like Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey, “Harry Potter” star Tom Felton, Nick Jonas and others watched from various locations – including living rooms – to share in the joy.
