The experience of being courtside goes for more than $75,000.I dont care who you are, thats a lot of money for a ticket, said guard Jose Alvarado, a New York native who was planning a viewing party in Brooklyn and pointed out his Queens high school also is hosting one.

People that could afford it, were grateful with them coming out, and it just shows you our team is really special and were doing something here that hasnt been done in a long time.

The Knicks are two victories away from their first championship since 1973, and the hoopla for Game 3 includes the anticipated appearances of President Donald Trump and Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
