'It's the biggest names in the front row,' an insider familiar with obtaining celebrity row seats for their clients told The Post.
'B-list tends to be harder,' the source said.
Cardi B and Stefon Diggs attended Game 4 at MSG, where they appeared to hard launch their relationship with some PDA in their courtside seats.

Former Knicks PR chief and media consultant Joe Favorito told The Post if you don't bleed blue and orange, you're not getting onto celebrity row — no matter how famous you are.
'In Boston, Dana White was sitting with a Celtics jersey — you wouldn't see him in Celebrity Row,' Favorito said. 'You can be sitting other places if you're rooting for the opposing team, but it's not like you're going to get access if you're not wearing orange and blue.'

Denver Nuggets Nearly Made Kevin Durant Decision During Offseason
Denver Nuggets Nearly Made Kevin Durant Decision During Offseason originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Denver Nuggets are coming off a season in which they surprised many. First, it was the decision to fire head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth just days before the end of the regular season. As a result, the Nuggets went into the playoffs with an interim head coach, David Adelman. Advertisement Some thought that the decision would prove to be a death sentence. Although still early, it proved to be the right move in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, as the team defeated the Los Angeles Clippers in seven games, who were one of the hottest teams in the NBA entering the playoffs.

Downing-Imagn Images Denver Nuggets nearly made Kevin Durant decision In the second round, the Nuggets met up with the Oklahoma City Thunder. To that point, the Thunder had looked nearly invincible, making quick work of the Memphis Grizzlies in a sweep. Many believed that dominance would continue after the grueling Clippers series, but the Nuggets gave the Thunder a decent run for their money before falling short in Game 7. Advertisement The Nuggets lacked depth and top-tier talent outside of Nikola Jokic. Likely looking to make a trade in the offseason, the Nuggets were a surprise contender for the services of Kevin Durant, according to Shams Charania, before he was ultimately traded to the Houston Rockets. It's fun to imagine what such a trade package would've looked like from Denver's end. To make the salaries work, it would likely have had to involve Jamal Murray, or, more likely, Michael Porter Jr. in addition to young players like Peyton Watson, Julian Strawther or Christian Braun. Now, the Nuggets will look elsewhere to add depth to attempt to keep up in what will likely once again be a tough Western Conference. Contending next year should be Denver's top priority if they don't want to risk Jokic asking for a trade. If they can't build upon what they accomplished this season and at least get back to the Conference Finals, that's very well what could happen.

Jalen Green reportedly determined to improve upon playoff struggles, stay in Houston
Jalen Green continues to be a rumored possibility in trade talks for Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant, and he's coming off an underwhelming 2025 NBA playoffs with the Houston Rockets. Yet, entering his fifth professional season, it doesn't appear that the 23-year-old is looking for a fresh start. Instead, he wants to make amends in Houston. Advertisement Per Kelly Iko of The Athletic: Green, whose name has been connected to Durant and other stars in trade rumors, is determined to improve upon his playoff struggles and wants to stay in Houston, league sources say. Granted, until there is finality on the Durant front, there remains the possibility that 2024-25 was Green's swan song with the Rockets. But if Durant goes elsewhere, or if his trade package to Houston doesn't include Green, it appears both the Rockets and the 6-foot-6 guard are committed to giving things another go. During the 2024-25 regular season, Green was the leading scorer (21.0 points per game) on a Houston squad that finished with the No. 2 record (52-30) in the Western Conference. But in the playoffs versus Golden State, he was just the fourth-leading scorer (13.3 points), and his true-shooting percentage dipped from 54.4% in the regular season to 48.2% against the Warriors.

New York Knicks Make Clear Kevin Durant Trade Decision
New York Knicks Make Clear Kevin Durant Trade Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks head into the offseason with relative uncertainty, despite having one of their best seasons in recent memory. For the first time in 25 years, the Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals and were even favored to make the NBA Finals after defeating their rival and the defending champion Boston Celtics. Advertisement Instead, it was just another chapter in their iconic rivalry against the Indiana Pacers. Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton hit an iconic shot where the ball hit the back of the rim, bounced straight into the air, and came down for what he thought was the game-winning shot, and he replicated Reggie Miller's choke sign to the stunned Madison Square Garden crowd. Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant drives to the hoop past Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images New York Knicks make clear Kevin Durant trade decision One name that has repeatedly surfaced as a Knicks possibility is Kevin Durant. The Suns are likely looking to trade him after their calamity of a season in which they missed the playoffs despite having the highest payroll in the history of the NBA. Advertisement However, according to Marc Stein, the Knicks are out on Durant, despite the Knicks being one of his preferred destinations. "New York made it clear that it's decided against pursuing a trade for him," Stein wrote. The Knicks were quick to make changes, as they fired head coach Tom Thibodeau just days following their elimination. If the Knicks were willing to cut ties with their head coach of five years after leading them to their most successful season in a quarter of a century, it's possible more moves could be coming. While it may not be for Durant, as Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby are capable at the position, the Knicks could look to make one more move, perhaps for a role player to help put them over the top and not rely on their starters as much.
