One of the most famous New York Knicks celebrity fans is Tracy Morgan, who stars in The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins with Jalyn Hall, who plays his on-screen son, Carmelo.
Speaking to ClutchPoints ahead of the Season 2 premiere of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, Hall—who is from Atlanta, Georgia—revealed that he and Morgan attended a New York Giants game together, and a Knicks game is next on the docket.
"I'm always gonna have love for my hometown and my hometown teams, and in my heart of hearts, I want them (the Falcons) to go to the Super Bowl and win it all," Hall admitted, before conceding, "but we all have our backups."

Starring in a show with Morgan means you're gonna hear a lot about the Knicks, which in turn makes you root for them. He was "living vicariously" through Morgan during the Knicks' championship run over the summer, but the SNL alum thinks he can convert his on-screen son into a full-fledged fan.
"I've been to a couple [of] games, so I've kinda been living vicariously through him being a New Yorker," Hall said. "He says [that] by the end of this season, 'You're gonna be a New Yorker,' and I believe him."
Watching sports with a fan like Morgan is a "completely different experience." Most of us will never get to sit courtside with him at a Knicks game, but if the opportunity presents itself, take it.
"I advise anyone who's ever been to a game, [or even those who] haven't been to a game, if you can, somehow, some way, go to a game with Tracy Morgan, it will be a completely different experience," Hall concluded.
Morgan was a staple of the Knicks' playoff run last year. He was sitting courtside for most of the games. He is one of the most notable celebrity fans and is in the same class as Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Fat Joe, and Timothée Chalamet.
