After years of Knicks pain, Ben Stiller is now on top of the NBA mountain.
The longtime Knicks fan was elated after the team’s 94-90 Game 5 victory that won the franchise its first Finals since 1973.
Stiller, an active X user when it comes to the Knicks, didn’t post anything in the aftermath as of the early hours of Sunday morning.
He was, however, found in the depths of Frost Bank Center wearing an NBA Finals championship T-shirt and hat paired with goggles and Knicks coach Mike Brown’s whiteboard.
Stiller’s sports dream had finally come true.
“As happy as I’ve ever felt,” Stiller told ESPN with a huge smile when asked how he felt following the title win. “It’s pretty amazing. It’s pretty amazing.”
The “Severence” executive producer’s fandom started in the 1973-74 season when he was taken to a game by friends of his father, the late actor Jerry Stiller, and sat eight rows behind the Knicks bench.
It was the same year that started the 53-year championship drought. His fandom was later revived when he moved back to New York from Los Angeles in 2010.
In those years since, Stiller admitted to The Post during the Knicks Finals run that “there was a lot of pain.”
The feeling he had Saturday night was much different than what he’s been told the Knicks are his whole life.
“My whole life I’ve lived with this idea that, ‘Oh, the Knicks aren’t going to make it, the Knicks have never been good, the Knicks have been a joke for a long time back in the day,” Stiller previously said. “It almost became something you accept.”
Once the final buzzer rang, Stiller could be seen filming the Knicks’ reaction on his iPhone.
Several security members tried to keep him at bay, but Stiller seemed to push his way through to get the necessary footage for what has been rumored to be a Knicks playoff and championship project of sorts.
Stiller has been filming often — and not only during the games throughout the playoffs.
He has also filmed while on his walkthrough and security checkpoints into the various arenas, and has been seen among the media at press conferences.
The celebration will only continue for Stiller and the Knicks, who are now flying back to New York and have a championship parade set for Thursday.
