As the New York Knicks<\/a> look to capture their first title since 1973, Celebrity Row at Madison Square Garden next week will surely be full of the regulars<\/a>\u2014Spike Lee, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Ben Stiller, Mariska Hargitay\u2014along with two lucky winners of MSG’s auction<\/a>. If John F. Kennedy Jr. was alive, his close friend RoseMarie Terenzio says, he’d be there.<\/p>\n

“John was the one New Yorker cool enough to make MSG even cooler \u2014 and he’d still be the most famous person in the building,” Terenzio, pictured above with Kennedy at the Garden, told the celebrity.land<\/em><\/a>. “He was a huge fan. Whenever he was in town and if he could, he would always go\u2026 I bet he’s cheering from somewhere.”<\/p>\n

Per the Post<\/em>, JFK Jr. owned two pairs of Knicks tickets, “one on Celebrity Row and one behind the basket.” He was at MSG for the 1999 NBA Finals, the last time the Knicks made the championship (and played against the San Antonio Spurs.) He shared the tickets with David Pecker, publisher of Kennedy’s magazine George<\/em>, and Randy Poster, his Brown fraternity brother.<\/p>\n

“He took me to a Knicks game for my birthday on Celebrity Row. It was insane,” Terenzio recalls. “And I remember Patrick Ewing waving to him from the Knicks bench, and I looked at him and I went, ‘Are you kidding me?! Did he just wave to you?!’ And he just started laughing.”<\/p>\n

The last Knicks game Kennedy attended was at Game 4 of the 1999 finals between the Knicks and the Spurs, on June 23, 1999. He tragically died<\/a> just under a month later, on July 16, 1999.<\/p>\n
