Following the team’s historic run in this year’s NBA season and its first championship win in 53 years, it’s been announced that Ben Stiller will be working alongside A24 and HBO to direct a multi-part documentary centered on the New York Knicks. The documentary will follow the Knicks from their run in the 90s to their recent record-breaking run this year.
Stiller, who has been sitting courtside throughout this season, gave more details about this upcoming documentary project on The Roommates Show, a weekly podcast hosted by Knicks players Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, along with co-host Matt “Matty Ice” Hillman. Stiller explained,
Obviously, I’ve been shooting some stuff on my phone, but it’s kind of gonna be about all eras of the Knicks. There’s a culmination here of something that has been going on for a long time, so it’s super exciting. And it’s great to have had all this access to your team, and we’re gonna probably be shooting a little bit more during next season.
One other detail Stiller mentioned on the podcast is his plan to interview several Knicks players for the documentary. The documentary is also said to have full behind-the-scenes support from the NBA, including never-before-seen footage. Stiller also said on the podcast,
I could not be more excited. This is a dream project, so cannot wait.
More details about this documentary, such as a possible release window, aren’t currently known at this time.
