... and the crowd goes wild!


Part of the fun of televised Knicks games (and Lakers games too) is to spot the celebrities in attendance. It's a cheap thrill, but it contextualizes the sport nicely in a larger cultural theater, and it signifies a bond between rich and poor, famous and insignificant: we all enjoy the sport.

It's a bit perplexing from a male perspective: the unadulterated emotional outpour of young girls in the presence of certain males. Elvis, The Beatles, Justin Bieber... Usually, such a reaction is reserved for those musician's shows, but in this case, it was at a basketball game.

Good for her.
