Ben Stiller makes last call on NBA Finals prediction before Knicks Game 1 vs. Spurs

The New York Knicks are back on the NBA Finals stage for the first time in 27 years, and one of their most recognizable supporters has already made his pick. Actor and longtime Knicks fan Ben Stiller has followed the team’s playoff run closely, often from a courtside seat at Madison Square Garden.

After New York eliminated the Cleveland Cavaliers to punch its ticket to the Finals, Stiller celebrated the moment across social media.

He shared a video of the closing seconds of the series-clinching win, posting a broom emoji alongside footage that captured the postgame scene as players celebrated and coaches exchanged handshakes, Yahoo reports. Stiller later posted a screenshot of his phone lock screen, which featured Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns.

Stiller Backs Knicks Before Finals Opener

With Game 1 set for Wednesday night in San Antonio, Stiller offered a simple but confident prediction for the series.

“KNICKS IN 6,” he wrote on X.

The post quickly caught the attention of fellow Knicks fans as anticipation continued to build ahead of the franchise’s biggest series in decades.

New York enters the Finals after enjoying an extended break following its victory over Cleveland. Meanwhile, the Spurs arrive after surviving a grueling seven-game Western Conference Finals battle against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

That contrast has become one of the biggest talking points entering the matchup. The Knicks will hope their extra rest provides an early edge, while San Antonio looks to carry momentum from its dramatic series win.

For Stiller, however, the outlook appears clear. Just hours before the opening tip, the actor made his final call and backed New York to bring home the championship in six games.
