Superfan Ben Stiller has confirmed he is making a multi-part documentary series about the history of the New York Knicks and their historic championship win last weekend, in partnership with the NBA, HBO and A24.
The series will chronicle the history, culture, and enduring legacy of the Knicks, culminating with the franchise’s first NBA championship in 53 years.
“Couldn’t be more excited to make this doc with @a24 and @hbo about the NY KNICKS!!!!,” Stiller posted on X, adding “#LETSGOKNICKS.” He guested on the Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart’s “Roommates” podcast Wednesday, telling the winning players “I did say ‘Knicks in 26.’”
“Obviously I’ve been shooting some stuff on my phone,” he continued on the podcast, “But it’s going to be 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 had all this access to your team. We’re going to probably be shooting a little bit more during next season, and I’m going to hit you guys up for some interviews. It’s going to be over the next year that we’ll be working on it,” he told the hosts. “A lot of people have wanted to make it happen for a long time.”

Stiller is directing the event series produced in partnership with A24. The series will “trace the full arc of the franchise from the ’90s to the improbable, record-breaking run that finally returned a championship to New York,” an official synopsis from A24 said.
According to A24, the series will offer “unprecedented NBA access, never-before-seen footage, and a definitive look at one of basketball’s most iconic stories.”
