In just under two weeks, the New York Knicks open their season against the Philadelphia 76ers, and NBC has announced the crew that will call the game, which superfan Ben Stiller reacted to.
He reacted to the news that Reggie Miller, Jamal Crawford, and Mike Tirico would be calling the Knicks' season opener, which will include the championship banner raise ceremony.
Stiller needed just one word for his reaction, writing, “Cool,” in response to the post on X, formerly Twitter. Regardless of who is calling the game, he seems excited for it. Plus, he will likely be at the Garden for it.
