Big names were back at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday for Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and theNew York Knicks.

A plethora of luminaries filled the Garden on Monday, including Derek Jeter, Eli Manning, Larry David, Jay Z, Robert Kraft and usual attendees such as Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Tracy Morgan,Timothée Chalamet and Fat Joe. Donald Trumpbecame the first sitting U.S. president to attend the NBA Finals, taking in Game 3 next to Knicks owner James Dolan in a suite.

Securing a spot in celebrity row requires a high profile and adhering to a set of unwritten rules, including:you must stay in your seat for the duration of the game (win, lose or blowout), be presentable for the camera (as shown on the giant screen) and participate in filming promotions for Madison Square Garden. Most importantly, though, one must be a Knicks fan.

It was much of the same for celebrities in Manhattan watching Game 4. Here's a look at the big names in attendance.
