LOS ANGELES – Actor Ben Stiller managed to steal the show at the 2025 Oscars, not just with his humorous presentation of the Best Production Design award, but also with his unwavering dedication to his beloved New York Knicks. While presenting, Stiller hilariously struggled with a malfunctioning stage lift before announcing *Wicked* as the winner. However, it was his immediate post-Oscar tweet, a simple “KNICKS WIN,” celebrating the team’s overtime victory against the Miami Heat, that truly captivated social media.

The tweet went viral, garnering millions of views and sparking a flurry of amused responses. Fans expressed their delight at Stiller’s prioritizing the Knicks win over the prestigious awards ceremony, with one comment saying, “I’m crying bro, you’re at the Oscars.” Stiller’s devotion continued, with a subsequent tweet simply stating, “Go Knicks.”

This isn’t an isolated incident. The actor, a long-time Knicks fan, has previously celebrated the team’s wins on social media and was even spotted at a Knicks game in January, where he gave a fan a car. His passion for basketball is further evidenced by his close bond with the *Severance* cast, who share a love for the game, often watching games and enjoying casual activities together. This camaraderie helped bond the cast during the show’s extensive 186-day shoot for season 2.

Stiller’s dual performance – a comedic turn at the Oscars followed by a jubilant celebration of his favorite team – highlights his down-to-earth personality and proves that even amidst Hollywood glamour, some passions remain unwavering.
