The New York Knicks‘ return to Madison Square Garden in the 2026 NBA Finals on Monday night brought out some of the biggest names in entertainment, sports and politics.
From President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to Timothée Chalamet, Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, Teyana Taylor, Spike Lee and Mariska Hargitay, dozens of bold-faced names filled the stands in New York City.
Those in attendance saw an historic moment as Madison Square Garden hosted its first NBA Finals game since 1999, when the Knicks also faced the San Antonio Spurs in a repeat of this year’s matchup.
The Knicks entered the game with a 2-0 series lead over the Spurs, but lost Monday night’s game 115-111.
Game 4 between the Knicks and Spurs will also be held at Madison Square Garden, and will also likely be a star-studded affair. The game tips off at 8:30 p.m. ET Wednesday on ABC and ESPN and streaming on the ESPN App.
