Josh Hart Reacts to New York Knicks' Celebrity Row List
New York Knicks forward Josh Hart was reminded of the cultural impact of their 2026 championship win after glancing at the list for 'celebrity row' during Game 4 at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks' championship run brought some of the biggest celebrities in the world of entertainment to the building, as everyone wanted to be in the arena to watch New York finally win an NBA title. With the title triumph nearly two months in the rearview mirror, Hart was reminiscing on the incredible energy that surrounded the franchise and the city at the time.
The Knicks captured lightning in a bottle, and another title run also might not bring out as many stars as the 2026 run did. Nonetheless, it was an amazing run. The team's first title in over 50 years swept the city into madness, and the list of celebrities in attendance was a testament to the team's popularity.
Who Were the Biggest Celebrities to Attend the Knicks' NBA Finals Series?
Game 4 of the NBA Finals saw an incredible turnout with the likes of Taylor Swift, Timothee Chalamet, Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Chris Rock, Kylie Jenner, Whoopi Goldberg, Cardi B, and many more. Knicks superfans like Mariska Hargitay, Fat Joe, Tracy Morgan, and others were also regularly present in their courtside seats for most of the Playoff run, especially the NBA Finals.
Arguably, the biggest 'celebrity' came for Game 3, as the Knicks and MSG welcomed President Donald Trump in attendance, becoming the first sitting President to attend an NBA Finals game. Unfortunately, that wound up being the only game of the series the Knicks lost, eliminating the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 and securing the title.
The Last result: San Antonio Spurs 90-94 New York Knicks (2026-06-14). The Recent form (last 5): 4W-0D-1L (WWWWL, most recent first); on a 4-game winning run.
What Comes Next for the New York Knicks?
As the team looks to build on their historic championship win, they will be eager to see who will be in attendance for their next game. With a strong roster and a passionate fan base, the Knicks are sure to continue to attract top talent and celebrities to their games. The team's first title in over 50 years has brought a new level of excitement and energy to the franchise, and it will be interesting to see how they continue to build on this momentum.
