James Dolan already promised championship rings to the significant others of Knicks players. Less than 48 hours after helping end the franchise’s 53-year title drought and roughly 24 hours after a drunken Instagram Live sent social media into a frenzy Mikal Bridges had another idea.

Appearing on the Dan Patrick Show, the host asked if Spike Lee should get a championship ring. The answer from Bridges was simple. “He should for sure.” Then the follow-up was how many rings should Dolan spare for other such superfans. And the answer was again, ” A lot.”

“Everybody. You can name anybody. I’m gonna say yes to everybody (even Timothée Chalamet). Everybody, Ben Stiller. You can name anyone.”

That opened the floodgates. Patrick ran through a list of celebrity fans and Knicks icons, and Bridges kept approving every nomination.

So, Patrick asked, should Jenner get one, and again Bridges nodded and said, “Yeah.”

Patrick concluded with “Okay. All right. You’re really generous with your owner’s money.”

Bridges’ generosity extended well beyond Jenner. He also endorsed championship rings for Timothée Chalamet, Ben Stiller, Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan and Patrick Ewing, essentially anyone who rode the emotional roller coaster of New York’s championship season alongside the team.

Ewing’s inclusion carries a little more substance than celebrity fandom alone. The Hall of Famer returned to the organization in October 2024 as the Knicks’ Basketball Ambassador, giving him an official front-office role in addition to his status as a franchise legend.

The celebrity names reflect a different kind of connection. Chalamet, Stiller and Lee remained visible supporters through lean years and playoff disappointments. Jenner’s Knicks ties are more recent. Previously associated with the Lakers, she became a frequent courtside presence during New York’s title run while attending games with Chalamet, a lifelong Knicks fan and New York native.

Whether any celebrity actually receives a ring remains Dolan’s decision. Championship rings traditionally go to players, coaches, executives and team personnel, although franchises ultimately control how many additional rings they commission. Dolan has already indicated he plans to go beyond the standard recipients by purchasing rings for players’ partners, citing their role in helping the team navigate the playoff grind.

Still, Bridges’ comments landed differently because they arrived immediately after another moment that had Knicks fans talking: his wildly unfiltered championship celebration on Instagram Live.

What did Knicks star Bridges say in his IG Live?

It was less than 48 hours after the Knicks won the title. It was filled with laughter and tears as Bridges kept on saying eccentric things aimed at his teammates and rivals. He shouted out Atlanta for pi—- him off and turning him up.

Even teammate Ariel Hukporti, as Mikal called him, 35-year-old and joked that he lied on his birth certificate. He referred to Victor Wembanyama as the “French Prince N****” and called KAT a “big foot ass n****”

The owner wasn’t spared either. Bridges repeated the now-viral claim that Dolan told the team to avoid s– during the playoff run and even lobbied for a new practice facility in Manhattan.

Perhaps the most memorable moment involved Finals MVP Jalen Brunson.

“JB, GOAT, build a statue. Build that little big-headed a– n— a statue, bro,” Bridges yelled to his viewers. “And the thing is about him, he’s happy. Let me tell you a little bit about JB. He’s happy. He’s happy he won this s—. He’s very happy. I know he is. But if you don’t think that n—- not ready for another run, I don’t know. JB, enjoy this for a little bit. Get back to it. How life goes. Savage, too.”

The fans enjoyed the unfiltered conversation, but Jalen Brunson was a little embarrassed. “Somebody take Mikal’s phone”.
