Liberty celebrate big win with Ben Stiller and ‘Severance’ cast

Ben Stiller, known for his love of New York basketball, made a surprise appearance at a recent Liberty game at Barclays Center. Alongside actors John Turturro and Zach Cherry from the show “Severance,” Stiller added to the fanfare as the Liberty secured a win against the Wings with a score of 85-76.

After the game, Stiller joined the team on the court for a post-win celebration, posing for a group photo with the players, the “Severance” actors, and the show’s producer. Marine Johannès, a player for the Liberty, expressed her excitement at meeting Stiller, highlighting his status as an iconic actor and a supporter of the team.

The moment took a humorous turn when Johannès, initially shy about asking for a photo, was encouraged by her teammate Breanna Stewart to join in. The clip of this interaction was shared on social media, adding a light-hearted touch to the post-game celebrations.

Stiller’s presence at the game was reminiscent of his enthusiastic support for the Knicks during their playoff run earlier in the year. Fans at Barclays Center gave him a warm ovation when he appeared on the video board, and a video circulating online captured him participating in the “Ellie Wave” during a break in the action.

The Liberty’s victory over the Wings improved their season record to 19-10, marking another milestone in their ongoing success. Stiller’s unexpected appearance added an extra layer of excitement to the game, showcasing his dedication to New York basketball beyond just the Knicks.
