When the New York Knicks play home games at Madison Square Garden, then fans know that the celebrities will come out. Longtime Knicks supporter Spike Lee was there but others also found their way to courtside seats on Wednesday, May 21.

American gymnast Suni Lee was shown on the Knicks' Jumbotron at the Garden, bringing cheers from the fans gathered there. When she got on camera, Lee raised her right hand and offered up a cheer for the home team.

While Lee got some attention, Knicks fans can't leave hometown hero Larry David behind. The Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator was front and center to see his Knicks square off against the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs' Eastern Conference Finals.

Who else was in attendance? Actor Jon Hamm also picked up some camera time, too. Mary J. Blige performed at halftime for the New York faithful. Jordyn Woods was there, along with Samira Ahmed. Knicks fans know Woods has a personal reason for being at the game as she's the girlfriend of Knicks star Karl Anthony Towns.

Knicks legendary players Patrick Ewing, Latrell Sprewell, John Starks, Allan Houston, and Larry Johnson were rooting for this season's team to defeat the Pacers. Besides these guys, Shaquille O'Neal showed up as he was part of the Inside the NBA crew for TNT. O'Neal was seen on TV along with Ernie Johnson Jr., Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith.

Leave it to the New York Knicks to bring the stars and former team players out for a Wednesday night matchup in the Garden.
