Spike Lee, who has supported the New York Knicks for decades, cheered from the floor of the Frost Baker Center. Timothée Chalamet celebrated with the team in the locker room. Across the city of New York, Knicks fans of decades and mere minutes toasted the team after their historic NBA Finals win following a 53-year drought.

Lee has been seen courtside at Knicks games for over 40 years. For a lot of fans, his name is nearly synonymous with the team itself, and he dates his fandom back to Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals.

Spike Lee became a Knicks season ticket holder in 1985.

His first game was Patrick Ewing’s first game.

Jennifer Lopez also proclaimed her Knicks fandom on social media. “I remember the last time the Knicks were making a run for the championship and rushing home every game day from the set to watch Ewing, Starks and Oakley make a hell of a run. We have all been waiting patiently for this day for years,” she wrote on X.

Congratulations to the New York Knickerbockers, NBA Champions!!!!!

New York’s Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the city will toast the Knicks with a parade on Thursday.

The Knicks’ win was powered in large part by the Herculean efforts of Jalen Brunson, who racked up 45 points to spur the Knicks to a 94-90 win in San Antonio, Texas. Brunson, who joined the team in 2022, has been a spark for the team ever since.
