One of the first stops on the NBA champion New York Knicks<\/a>\u2019 celebration tour will be The Tonight Show<\/a>, where they\u2019ll reunite with the Wu-Tang Clan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the Knicks\u2019 star starting five \u2014 Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart, OG Annoy, and Mikal Bridges \u2014 will join host Jimmy Fallon<\/a> to celebrate the team\u2019s first title in 53 years. Coach Mike Brown and the rest of the team will also be on hand, as will other special guests.<\/p>\n

As for the Wu-Tang Clan performance, it\u2019s a clever nod to the Knicks\u2019 massive game four win<\/a> over the San Antonio Spurs: The NYC rap legends performed at halftime<\/a> during that game, when the Knicks were down a seemingly insurmountable 29 points, and the Spurs looked poised to even the series at two games apiece. Still, at the end of the halftime performance, Method Man declared, \u201cKnicks in five.\u201d The team then proceeded to come back<\/a> and win game four 107 \u2013 106 before polishing off the Spurs in game five on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Knicks\u2019 victory has unleashed a massive wave of euphoria in New York City. Among the team\u2019s myriad famous fans<\/a>, there have been big celebrations from the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Mariska Hargitay, Cardi B, Jon Stewart, Ben Stiller, and Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet (who even got to join in the locker room celebrations in San Antonio after game five).<\/p>\n

During the Finals run, Fat Joe spoke with Rolling Stone about his new song \u201cVictory Lap (Him),\u201d his longtime Knicks fandom, and being incorporated into the fabric of the team even as a fan. \u201cMy team, I\u2019ve supported my whole life, is now in the championship, and they\u2019re including me, which is weird as a fan. The other night, the coach [Mike Brown] said, \u2018Fat Joe\u2019s jewelry is blinding me.\u2019 Like, come on, man! As a kid, as a Knicks fan, you think I ever dreamed that the coach would mention me?\u201d<\/p>\n
