Knicks guards Tyler Kolek and Miles McBride labeled Taylor Swift a "fake" celebrity fan in an NBA 2K League video, with Kolek calling her support "a little performative." The Knicks organization quickly pushed back, noting Swift has attended games since 2014 and has deep ties to Madison Square Garden, where she married Travis Kelce last month.
