And Sweeney showed her support by heading to Frost Bank Arena to see her beloved side crowned NBA champions for the first time in 53 years following a 94-90 victory over the San Antonio Spurs.
The Euphoria star was spotted wearing a figure-hugging Knicks outfit with Jalen Brunson’s name emblazoned across the back, along with a blue and orange jacket.
NBA Hall of Famer Barkley struggled to contain his excitement when the TV cameras showed Sweeney waiting for the action to begin.
He said: “Sydney Sweeney is here? Everybody is a New York Knicks fan now.”
Barkley’s comment came just days after he made a rude remark about Cardi B while live on air.
The 11-time All-Star made a shock statement about the rapper’s breasts after she performed at half-time during Game Three of the NBA Finals.
He claimed: “I don’t know about B’s. It might be Cardi D’s. I’m pretty sure those aren’t Bs. She’s got the wrong initials.”
Barkley then sensationally called for ESPN to axe him during an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show.

The former Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Jattvibes and Houston Rockets man said: “I’m hoping they fire me.
“I’ve got six or seven years left on my contract that they know I got no chance of doing.
“I would love for them to fire me and have to pay me for the next six or seven years.
“Come on, man. People can’t take a joke? They can kiss my a**. I appreciate all the support I’ve gotten all these years, but if anybody thinks everybody likes them, they’re a fool.
“So if people don’t like me or don’t have a sense of humor, they can kiss my a**. My whole a**, not just one cheek. The whole a**!”
Sweeney was not the only A-lister in attendance for Game Five of the NBA Finals.
Ben Stiller, Timothee Chalamet, Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan, Allan Houston, Avery Johnson and Patrick Ewing were also among the big-names spotted at Frost Bank Arena.
