The New York Knicks‘ return to the NBA Finals means the stars are out in New York City on Monday night.

Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs marks the first NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden in 27 years. Famous Knicks fans who have been with the team every step of the way will surely be in attendance for the biggest Knicks game in almost three decades.

Names like Ben Stiller, Timothee Chalamet and Spike Lee represent lifelong Knicks fans who have stuck with the team through the hard times. Kylie Jenner, meanwhile, is someone who may be riding the wave due to her dating Chalamet for a few years.

As the Knicks prepare for their first home game of the NBA Finals, here’s a look at which celebrities are in attendance.
