The New York Knicks will take on the San Antonio Spurs for Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals<\/a> Monday night \u2014 with a star-studded crowd cheering them on.<\/p>\n

Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Ben Stiller and Spike Lee are just a few of the diehard fans who will likely be seated inside Madison Square Garden\u2019s iconic celebrity row, after previously hanging courtside<\/a> with Fat Joe, Tracy Morgan, Shaquille O\u2019Neal and more for the first two games.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a historic season for the Knicks (who currently lead 2-0), as it\u2019s the first time they\u2019ve made an appearance in the NBA finals since June 1999. Back then, the Garden\u2019s coveted courtside seats were filled by A-listers like Adam Sandler, Alec Baldwin, Chris Rock and more.<\/p>\n
