Martha Stewart Has Become One of the Knicks’ Biggest Celebrity Fans<\/p>\n

According to Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, Stewart was among the estimated one million fans who celebrated the Knicks’ first NBA title in 53 years. But unlike most supporters packed into the streets, the lifestyle mogul enjoyed a unique journey to the festivities.<\/p>\n

She revealed that she left her Bedford home at 6 a.m. before arriving at Madison Square Garden, where she was greeted by Knicks owner James Dolan. From there, Stewart boarded a bus with members of the Knicks “family” and traveled downtown with a police escort before enjoying breakfast with the team.<\/p>\n

Later, she posed with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani at City Hall as the celebrations continued.<\/p>\n

Stewart has been a constant presence throughout the Knicks’ playoff run, frequently appearing courtside and cheering on stars like Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. Her passion for the team has made her one of the most recognizable celebrity supporters at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n
