The New York Knicks have some of the biggest celebrity fans in the NBA.
Throughout the 2026 NBA playoffs, a plethora of celebrities showed up on the sidelines to support the New York Knicks.
The celebrity support only increased as the Knicks continued to advance through rounds and ultimately lifted the Larry O’Brien trophy. But who is the No. 1 celebrity Knicks fan for team captain Jalen Brunson? He recently revealed that.
Jalen Brunson’s blindly ranks the New York Knicks celebrity fans
When it comes to Knicks celebrity fans, the likes of Spike Lee and Ben Stiller instantly come to mind.
But what about the top five celebrity Knicks fans? Well, Brunson shared his list, albeit blindly, during an interview with Sports Illustrated.
Considering Brunson didn’t know which name would come next, he ended up ranking the celebs in this order: Fat Joe, Ben Stiller, Timothee Chalamet, Spike Lee, and Taylor Swift.

But if any Knicks fan looked at Brunson’s celebrity fans list, they’d instantly be furious with him. After all, there’s no way that Spike Lee ranks below the likes of Fat Joe, Chalamet, and Stiller.
Additionally, Brunson did mention that the only reason he ranked Lee fourth was to keep a spot open for his personal favorite, which could have been his wife, but the reporter didn’t take her name.
