Brunson says he looks for Mariska Hargitay at every Knicks game

Jalen Brunson confessed he looks for Law & Order: SVU actress Mariska Hargitay at every New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden. On The Richard Jefferson Show he called her his “No. 1” and said, “Love her to death [and] she knows it.” The remark resurfaced ahead of Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals, when the Knicks again face the San Antonio Spurs.

Brunson has also called Hargitay his “good luck charm” and admitted he watches SVU as his “pregame show.” He named other celeb-row regulars — Ben Stiller, Spike Lee and Tracy Morgan — among his favorite spectators.
