The actor and longtime Knicks<\/a> fan weighed in on New York\u2019s NBA Finals run<\/a> during an interview with Variety, making it clear that he understands the emotional stakes around this team. Rudd called the Knicks\u2019 current push \u201camazing\u201d and pointed to their dominance as one of the biggest reasons the moment feels so electric.<\/p>\n

But his bigger point went beyond basketball.<\/p>\n

Paul Rudd Sees What a Knicks Title Would Mean<\/p>\n

Rudd said he has spent years wondering what would happen if the Knicks finally reached the top of the NBA again. In his view, New York would explode in a way that even other championship teams in the city might not match.<\/p>\n

The Yankees and Giants have delivered plenty of parades. The Mets and Jets would also shake the city if they won it all. Still, Rudd sees something different with the Knicks.<\/p>\n

That is the power of Madison Square Garden, decades of frustration and a fan base that has waited for this exact kind of run.<\/p>\n

Rudd also discussed his return to Marvel for \u201cAvengers: Doomsday,\u201d saying the experience still makes him feel like a kid. He described seeing actors in superhero suits as surreal, especially when stars like Chris Hemsworth walk around dressed as Thor.<\/p>\n

For Knicks fans, though, Rudd\u2019s superhero world can wait.<\/p>\n
