The Knicks etched their names into the history books on Saturday night when they defeated the Spurs in the 2026 NBA Finals, 94–90. With the win, New York captured just its third title in franchise history—and luckily, it sounds like fans will have the chance to relive the magic at home sometime soon.How, you might ask? Apparently, thanks to Hollywood actor/director and Knicks superfan Ben Stiller, who filmed bits and pieces of the team's championship run on his iPhone, and is said to be making a documentary out of the experience.We don't know much about the project—things like a release date and full how-to-watch information, for example, are unavailable at the moment—but we've highlighted all that we do know in the sections below.Plus, we'll be sure to keep this page updated with the latest headlines and more, so interested viewers have all the information they need to host a different kind of Knicks watch party if and when that time comes.Let's get into it.O.K., let's back up. How did all this start?Stiller is a New York native and lifelong Knicks fan whose passion for the team has become somewhat synonymous with the franchise itself, as has been the case with actor Timothee Chalamet and director Spike Lee. At the 2026 Met Gala, for instance, which unfortunately coincided with a home playoff game for New York, Stiller wore a blue-and-orange tie to signal his support for the team. He is also vocal about league and team developments, regularly updates his profile photo with pictures of Knicks players, and is frequently found sitting courtside at the Garden, probably next to Lee and Chalamet, too.Then, during the 2026 playoffs, the Zoolander actor began posting clips he was filming from the sidelines, offering fans a rather cinematic look at the game from a director’s point of view. He would sometimes shoot in black-and-white, as was the case during Game 4, or maybe go into slow motion to really dramatize a moment, like he did in Game 1. pic.twitter.com/LRPhmeAdFp— Ben Stiller (@BenStiller) June 11, 2026pt. 2 pic.twitter.com/KWYOjVwsxa— Ben Stiller (@BenStiller) June 4, 2026The clips went over well online, and many in the comments were quick to joke that Stiller clearly has a knick—er, knack—for film. But even though they were kidding around, and even though the Severance director is well aware of those talents already, the fans were, in a way, onto something.So, what are the clips for? After a few days of speculation, we can officially confirm that Ben Stiller is making a documentary chronicling the Orange and Blue.“I’m really excited to announce that we are officially making a documentary out of the New York Knicks for HBO and doing it with A24,” Stiller said during an appearance on an episode of Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart's podcast, released Wednesday. “Full cooperation of MSG and NBA, and obviously, I’ve been shooting some stuff on my phone. But it’s kind of going to about all eras of the Knicks. And this team, obviously, there’s a culmination here of something that’s been going on for a long time. It’s super exciting.”“It’s great to have all this access to your team, which is great, and we’re probably going to be shooting a little bit more next season,” he continued. “Going to hit you guys up for some interviews.”As for a timeline on the project, that piece is still a bit up in the air.“We just started on it a little bit before the playoff run, it all came together,” Stiller explained. “So it’s going to be over the next year that we'll be working on it.”The director went on to add that there were a lot of people who wanted to make a documentary happen “for a long time,” but that it finally came to fruition this year.“We just want to make it a great doc for the fans, and hopefully get it all in there. I’m not sure how many parts it’s going to be. It’s going to be multi-part.”“I could not be more excited,” he concluded. “This is a dream project.”Couldn’t be more excited to make this doc with @a24 and @hbo about the NY KNICKS!!!!!!#LETSGOKNICKS pic.twitter.com/1hMzcShybU— Ben Stiller (@BenStiller) June 17, 2026Before Stiller officially confirmed the documentary on Wednesday, fans were working only with comments he made during an Inside the NBA appearance ahead of Game 4.“There is a project in the works, but look, I’d be doing it anyway,” Stiller told the panel of hosts pregame, when asked about the footage. “But it is part of a bigger project. ... [The access] is insane. To be able to have that point of view, it's fun to be able to share it with people.”Around that same time, Page Six had also reported that the clips would be used for an HBO documentary, which we now know was correct.In any event, hopefully we don't have to wait too long to see the sure-to-be thrilling doc; we can’t have a Severance season two-sized delay holding this thing up. The people yearn for more Jalen Brunson.More NBA From Sports IllustratedListen to SI’s NBA podcast, Open Floor, below or on Apple and Spotify.
