Ben Stiller is taking on a project very close to his heart.
The 60-year-old New York Knicks super-fan confirmed he’s working on a documentary about the NBA championship-winning team with A24.
“Couldn’t be more excited to make this doc with @A24 and @HBO about the NY KNICKS!!!!!! #LETSGOKNICKS,” the actor and director wrote in an X post on Wednesday (June 17).
The news came just after the team’s first win in over 50 years, and their massive homecoming parade in New York City on Thursday (June 18).
Ben is often seen sitting courtside at Knicks games, and recently opened up about the project with Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and Matt Hillman on the Roommates Show podcast.
“We are officially making a documentary about the New York Knicks for HBO, and doing it with A24, and full cooperation of [Madison Square Garden] and NBA,” he confirmed.
“Obviously, I’ve been shooting some stuff on my phone but it’s kind of gonna be about all eras of the Knicks and this team, obviously, you know, there’s a culmination here of something that has been going on for a long time. It’s super exciting.”
A24 issued a statement to ABC News about what to expect: “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. The series is expected to offer unprecedented NBA access, never-before-seen footage, and a definitive look at one of basketball’s most iconic stories.”
