Numerous stars celebrated the NBA championship of the New York Knicks at a large parade on Thursday. Among the guests was Timothée Chalamet, who appeared in good spirits wearing the team colors and sunglasses, firing up the crowd with chants. Ben Stiller rode through Manhattan on one of the floats together with his wife Christine Taylor, while director Spike Lee also cheered for his team.
Television chef Martha Stewart, "Sopranos" star Steve Schirripa, actress Mariska Hargitay, and comedian Tracy Morgan were also on site - each wearing various Knicks merchandise. "One Battle After Another" star Teyana Taylor joined rapper Fat Joe and rapper Remy Ma and stood out with her striking orange hair. The team captured some of the celebrity appearances in an Instagram clip.
Teyana Taylor even grabbed the microphone at the parade and performed her song "Rose in Harlem", as "Variety" reports. Singer Mary J. Blige performed her title "Real Love". Members of the Wu-Tang Clan appropriately sang "Triumph". The celebration was rounded off by Alicia Keys, who first struck up Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind" and then transitioned to her and Jay-Z's song "Empire State of Mind".
These celebrities are also Knicks fans
For the Knicks, it is their first championship victory in 53 years. A few days after the final game, Ben Stiller announced on the podcast "The Roommates Show" that he would be directing a multi-part documentary about the team, which he is developing together with A24 for HBO. The focus will be not only on the current triumph, but also on all eras of the franchise's history.
The New York Knicks are among the most popular teams among celebrities. Taylor Swift, Hailey Bieber, Michael J. Fox, and Adam Sandler also recently appeared at a game in the finals series.
