Months have already passed since Suni Lee grabbed attention with her performances at the 2024 Paris Olympics but the 21-year-old gymnast continues to turn heads. On Monday, the two-time Olympic gold medalist showed up at Madison Square Garden to watch a game between the New York Knicks and the Orlando Magic.

Lee clearly loved the atmosphere at The Garden, as she happily talked about the experience following the Knicks' 121-106 takedown of the visiting Magic team.

"Oh my gosh, it was so cool," Lee said about her first time at a Knicks game (h/t NBA's official X account). "I had so much fun, this is my first time at the Knicks game and definitely want to remember, I'm currently getting my jersey signed in the back."

Lee was born in Minnesota, and if she wants to cheer for the Minnesota Timberwolves in New York, she can do that on Jan. 17, when Anthony Edwards and company swing by Manhattan to play the Knicks.

As for the Knicks game versus the Magic, New York came away with an easy 121-106 victory.

The Knicks dominated Orlando from start to finish. It got a little interesting in the fourth quarter when the Magic outscored the host team by 16 points but even that scoring barrage was not enough to bring down Brunson and the Knicks. Karl-Anthony Towns led New York with 23 points while Brunson added 21 for the Knicks, who extended their win streak to three games.
