The New York Knicks festivities aren’t over just yet.
Just one day after an estimated two million people flooded the streets of Lower Manhattan to catch a glimpse of the team’s ticker-tape parade celebrating the Knicks’ first NBA title in 53 years, stars (and long-time pals) Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, along with co-host Matt Hillman, recorded a special live edition of their popular podcast “The Roommates Show” at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden.
All proceeds to the sell-out show, which was simulcast on ESPN, benefited the Garden of Dreams Foundation, the MSG non-profit supporting children in need. And the Friday night crowd was a rowdy one, to say the least.
Brunson and Hart kicked things off by bringing the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy onstage to raucous applause and chants of “M-V-P!” for Brunson. The night also saw a number of special guests join the podcasting trio, including Knicks teammates Karl-Anthony Towns and Miles “Deuce” McBride; Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony; and the co-hosts’ wives — Ali Brunson, Shannon Hart and Samara Hillman. They were all met with loud cheers on this Juneteenth evening.
Stephen A. Smith, on the other hand, was not.
