Now that the Knicks are the NBA champions, Ben Stiller can confirm it — he is, in fact, making a documentary about the team. The Hollywood actor, producer and director ended all the speculation during an appearance on Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart’s “Roommates Show” on Wednesday. Stiller, an avid Knicks fan, said the “dream project” will be made with A24 for HBO and has the “full cooperation” of the NBA and MSG.
Madison Square Garden has been hit with a proposed class action lawsuit alleging hackers accessed sensitive visitor data from up to 26 million people collected through controversial surveillance and facial-recognition systems used at the Knicks home arena. The suit against Madison Square Garden Entertainment was filed Tuesday in New York federal court, one day after cybercrime group ShinyHunters claimed to have hacked the company’s internal systems to obtain everything from biometric facial recognition data and background check information to credit scores and Social Security numbers. The suit comes three days after the Knicks defeated the Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals in San Antonio to take home the 2025-26 championship.
The suit says MSG Entertainment has a “tempestuous history with respect to data privacy,” and notes that “despite a slew of lawsuits regarding this conduct, as well as consternation from privacy advocates and legislators in New York, the Arena—at the direction of its owner James Dolan—continues to collect biometric information from each visitor.” The plaintiff, Carlos Avalo, claims his personal identifying information was collected when he attended a concert at MSG in September 2025. He “reasonably believes” his information was included in the new data breach and is “gravely concerned” about what was exposed.
The young Democratic socialist mayor claimed he paid “roughly $1,000” for his nosebleeds standing-room spot for Monday night’s Game 3 between the Knicks and San Antonio Spurs, though sources with knowledge of the matter said the ticket actually cost him $750. Regular plebs had to shell out an average of around $7,500 for a ticket to the high-profile event. But Mamdani’s team reached out to MSG ahead of the game and told reps the mayor wanted a half-dozen tickets to attend the NBA Finals ahead of the games this week, and asked for the cheapest seats, according to sources briefed on the conversations.

Ian Bagley: MSG Sports statement on Game 5 tickets says MSG has confirmed with Spurs ownership that Spurs will not be revoking any Knicks fans’ tickets for tonight.
A Mexican tax official has fouled out of his state government post. Héctor Contreras Mercader abruptly resigned Thursday as director of the state of Quintana Roo’s Tax Administration Service after a firestorm erupted over how he landed pricey seats near President Trump to watch the Knicks take on the Spurs at Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. Photographers caught Contreras, sporting a Knicks star Jalen Brunson jersey, and his son, wearing a Karl-Anthony Towns jersey, in section 107, row 22 with Trump in the background during the national anthem Monday night.
A little-known Dutch designer scored big after a friend wore her Knicks T-shirt to Madison Square Garden — and it caught the attention of owner Jim Dolan’s pal. Georgine Ratelband’s $295 “I’m a New York Knicks Girl” tee and five other items from her luxury line are now being sold at the MSG Team Store — debuting just weeks before the team made it to the NBA Finals. “It’s great timing,” Ratelband, 37, told The Post. “I’m ecstatic. I’m over the moon. I’m so proud.” Items from her Knicks collection — which include a crewneck sweater for $160, a $385 hoodie, $425 pants, a sequin jacket for $900 and a $1,450 leather jacket — have already been purchased by sports royalty, like New York Knicks star Josh Hart’s wife, Shannon, and former Rangers great Henrik Lundqvist.
There’s an angel looking out for the New York Knicks. Beatrice Reilly-Jordon, a Staten Island widow and devoted Knicks fan, left a bit of her late husband’s ashes on an empty seat at Madison Square Garden — and her family believes his spirit has been lifting the Knicks as they strive for their first championship in 53 years. “She sprinkled a little on an empty seat next to her at Madison Square Garden recently, so he could enjoy the game with her, watching from heaven,” the couple’s daughter Domonique told The Post. “He loved the Knicks so much and so does she. Like my mom says, he’s the angel on their shoulders.”
The New York Police Department is seeking information on a man suspected of beating a 17-year-old into a coma Wednesday after Game 4 of the NBA Finals. An NYPD statement said a group approached the teen outside Madison Square Garden near 237 W 35th St., and an argument ensued. Police posted a picture of a suspect who allegedly punched and kicked the victim, who suffered a seizure before lapsing into a coma. Police did not release an update on the teen’s condition.

Larry David’s enthusiasm was a little curbed when the Knicks were down 71-42 before making an historic comeback against the Spurs in Game 4 on Wednesday night. Fellow Knicks fan John McEnroe, seated next to David on Celebrity Row at Madison Square Garden, told the ESPN crew on “NBA Today” on Thursday that the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star was ready to head for the exit when all hope looked lost for the Knicks. “We were sort of a little negative at 71-42,” the former tennis star and ESPN analyst said. “He was like, ‘Let’s get outta here.’ He was like, ‘Let’s get outta here.’ I go, ‘Larry, listen, over the years it hasn’t come up the way we expected [as Knicks fans].’ You know, I’ve blown a couple [of] big leads in my life….It was sort of like, ‘Here we go again, we’re gonna lose this. Something bad’s gonna happen.'”
A brutal night for Victor Wembanyama continued even after he returned to his hotel on Wednesday, as he was pelted with boos from jeering Knicks fans and nearly struck by a flying egg. A video shared online showed at least one egg tossed in the direction of the San Antonio Spurs superstar as he entered his hotel, flanked by security, following the team's game 4 loss to the Knicks. It was not clear who threw the egg. The video showed taunting fans swarming the hotel, a few blocks south of Madison Square Garden. A few seconds after the egg cracks on a street sign, Wembanyama turns around and confronts a person standing near the hotel's entrance, before continuing inside.
