Though two months have passed since the New York Knicks hoisted the Larry O’Brien trophy on June 13, 2026, the city’s post-championship high hasn’t faded–New Yorkers are still sporting their blue and orange and chants of “Knicks in five” can still be heard wafting down the city streets.
In other words, New York is nowhere near done celebrating—and neither are the Garden’s favorite duo.
Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart are running back their fan-favorite live podcast experience, The Roommates Show Block Party, this fall. But massive fan demand just threw a wrench in the original plans.
After a mind-boggling 4,000 tickets sold out in less than 90 seconds—leaving over 8,000 fans stranded on a waitlist—the event is officially outgrowing Central Park.
The block party is moving to Randall’s Island Park to throw one of the largest live sports podcast celebrations in history, giving thousands more Knicks fans a chance to join in.
Here’s everything you need to know:
🏀 What is The Roommates Show Block Party?
