New York Knicks

President Trump will be at Madison Square Garden for an NBA Finals game, but Bill Bradley, former U.S. Senator and N.Y. Knicks star, says he won't be the center of attention!

The Knicks alum has some advice for the Prez, saying ... "If [Trump] goes to the game, he has to realize he is second fiddle. He's the president of the United States, but at an NBA Final, if he attends, he's second fiddle. He's not first."

"We'll see what he does. Quite frankly, I don't give a s*** what he does," Number 24 said.

President Donald Trump says he'll be at Madison Square Garden when the NBA Finals tip off next month ... confirming he was invited by James Dolan, owner of the Knicks.

Rumors began to swirl this week that POTUS would make a trip up to the Big Apple for the series -- the first time the Knicks have played for an NBA title in nearly three decades.

Trump cleared things up during a cabinet meeting at the White House on Wednesday.

Adam Sandler's love of the game comes first ... ditching formal wear to show a little team spirit on the red carpet for his wife's new movie.

The actor and comedian posed for pics with his better half, Jackie Sandler, at The Egyptian Theater in Hollywood on Tuesday for the world premiere of Netflix's new rom-com, "Office Romance," starring Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein.

While Jackie -- who plays Caroline in the flick -- dressed to the nines in a casual-chic black ensemble, Adam pulled up in a bright orange Knicks hoodie and blue sweats ... not the average celeb's go-to red carpet look -- but par for the course for the "Happy Gilmore" star.

President Donald Trump's a New Yorker first and foremost ... so of course he's considering playing hooky from the White House to watch his beloved Knicks.

According to the New York Times -- POTUS is seriously considering showing up to Madison Square Garden to cheer on the squad during the NBA finals sometime next week.

The outlet reports President Trump planned to hit up MSG Wednesday for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals if the Cleveland Cavaliers had pulled off a win Monday against New York in Game 4 ... but they fell way short -- losing 130-93.

Fat Joe was in the building to watch the Knicks sweep the Cavaliers, but he wasn't courtside after the home team put the kabosh on the rapper's plans ... but fresh off the victory, Joe Crack is telling TMZ Sports exactly what went down behind the scenes!

"I bought courtside tickets to Cleveland. We flew in, and they found out it was Fat Joe early afternoon and they were like, 'Yo, you're dead on the tickets,'" Joe told us Tuesday afternoon in New York City.

He then turned to buddy off camera and asked ... "I wonder, did we even get the money back from the tickets? We might've gotten robbed for the money."

The New York Knicks are heading to the NBA Finals after destroying the Cleveland Cavaliers in four straight games ... but there's one guy who might be even more excited than the players -- Timothée Chalamet.

Knicks fans invaded northeast Ohio and turned Rocket Arena into their own home on Monday ... and while Timmy C and Kylie Jenner initially had to settle for the second row, they eventually got their feet on wood when the game got out of reach.

As soon as N.Y. clinched its first Finals appearance in more than two decades, Chalamet, Tracy Morgan, Spike Lee and the rest of the star-studded support team celebrated with the players.

Ben Stiller was directing his ass off from his courtside seats on Thursday ... documenting the Knicks' win over the Cavs on his cell phone -- and fans can't get enough of the results.

The actor, director, and producer had his feet on the wood for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Madison Square Garden ... and he elected to share his view with his 5 million followers on X.

The footage started with a slo-mo vid of a Jalen Brunson floater ... and he did a great job at tracking the action and zooming in and out with precision.

Timothée Chalamet clearly doesn't have a playoff superstition when it comes to his hair ... because he got a cut and shaved off his beard in the middle of the New York Knicks' playoff run.

The actor and diehard Knicks fans sat on celebrity row at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night to watch his favorite team complete a stunning comeback victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers ... but the Knicks weren't the only ones making a comeback -- Clean Cut Chalamet is back.

Check it out ... Timmy's hair is noticeably shorter and he's shaved off his thin mustache -- a transformation for the star many online are saying makes him look much younger than his 30 years.

The Knicks won game 1 thanks to an insane comeback, and some diehard New York fans are already looking forward to the NBA Finals ... calling out Victor Wembanyama outside Madison Square Garden!

"We want Wemby! We want Wemby," hundreds of fans chanted outside the World's Most Famous Arena ... a place known for postgame insanity after big Knicks wins.

The vibes were clearly sky high for the Knicks fans Tuesday night ... after mounting one of the largest comebacks in NBA Playoff history.

NY trailed Cleveland by 22 points with less than 8 minutes left ... before going on a 30-8 run to force overtime.

WWE Superstar Danhausen is taking credit for the Cleveland Cavaliers' epic collapse against the New York Knicks ... but now he has some demands in order to keep the momentum going in the Big Apple's favor -- he wants to be right in the middle of Celebrity Row with Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner.

For those who don't know, Danhausen has a knack for cursing people ... or in this case, entire NBA franchises.

He issued a curse on the Cavs ahead of the Eastern Conference Finals Tuesday morning due to his love for NYC and his hate for The Miz (a big Cleveland fan) ... and fast forward to the end of Game 1, the Knicks came back from more than 20 down to win in overtime.

The New York Knicks bulldozed their way through their opponents so far this postseason ... but will their dominant run come to an end against the Cleveland Cavaliers??

If you ask former Knicks superstar Amar'e Stoudemire, his answer is a big "heck no" ... 'cause he feels they're just getting started!!

We caught up with STAT prior to Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday ... and had to ask how a super-rested Knickerbockers squad will fare against a Cavs team that just finished off the Detroit Pistons less than 48 hours ago.

You can tell Timothée Chalamet feels like he hit the relationship jackpot with Kylie Jenner ... 'cause the two were putting on a full PDA playbook courtside.

Check out these super cute snaps of the pair all wrapped up together at the New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night -- staring into each other's eyes, grinning ear to ear ... with Timmy even leaning in for a kiss at one point.

Basically, they looked very locked in and very in love ... and just in case it wasn’t obvious enough, the duo even pulled up in matching Knicks colors.

New York Knicks fans acted like they've never experienced a playoff win on Monday ... and their celebration got so rowdy, ex-NBA star J.R. Smith went crashing to the ground amid all the chaos.

The scene broke out as spectators exited Madison Square Garden following the 137-98 victory ... and among the happy folks was the former Knick.

Naturally, the crowd was happy to see the beloved baller ... and it started off on a good note ... with Smith puffing on something in his mouth and celebrating with his hands in the air.

Met Gala Monday is like Super Bowl Sunday for the Kardashian-Jenner family ... well, most of them anyway ... and they didn't disappoint on fashion's biggest night.

Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner brought some serious sex appeal to the 2026 Met Gala ... with some percolating and futuristic looks.

The sisters flaunted their curves, especially their boobs ... and they turned heads and made jaws drop as they made their grand entrances.

Timothée Chalamet is trading the Met Gala for The Mecca of Basketball.

The A-Lister is sitting courtside at an important playoff game for his favorite NBA team instead of accompanying his "partner of three years" Kylie Jenner to the biggest night in fashion.

Timmy is a huge New York Knicks fan ... and he's front and center at halfcourt watching the home team play the visiting Philadelphia 76ers in the first game of their playoff series.

The New York Knicks have a real shot at winning it all this season -- even though the Oklahoma City Thunder still exists -- so says Richard Jefferson, who tells TMZ Sports all the pieces are in place ... they just can't shoot themselves in the foot.

We caught up with the NBA analyst fresh off calling the Knickerbockers' BTA performance on the Atlanta Hawks in Game 6 of the first round on Thursday ... and he actually said the losing team shouldn't be embarrassed by the 140-89 result -- it was just the Knicks' night.

With that dominant outing in mind, does he feel like Karl-Anthony Towns, Jalen Brunson and the rest of the gang can really make some noise ... or will they come up short yet again??
