I wonder how many celebs actually like basketball and how many just like the fact that the seats are right next to the players so they’re more likely to end up on TV.
The Knicks actually have quite a few celebrity fans who visit games regularly. Jon Stewart, Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Alicia Keys, Michael J Fox, and Adam Sandler are a few I can think of who fit that category. Chalemet is a pretty big sports fan, too, including basketball.
Maybe im just cynical, but that was my first thought when looking at how Bloomberg was watching the game, his facial expressions looked as if he was out of his element and had no enthusiasm like your average sports fan would. Looked as if he was attending a boring meeting.
They definitely bought those seats with the intention of being on TV & social media, especially since they could have probably bought fancy VIP rooms/boxes far away from all the “poors” and paparazzi. They look and acted like how any person would act if they were told they were going to be on TV and were told to “just act normal like the camera isn’t there” lmao but who knows, I somehow am always wrong when I assume things, but at the same time I ain’t giving these million/billionaires no benefit of the doubt! Probably just “cheap” publicity for them.

Courtside at Knicks and Lakers games are just another way for celebrities to try and pay for exposure.
