When it comes to the New York Knicks, Anne Hathaway is their good luck charm.

Let’s revisit: On April 20, the Knicks lost Game 2 of their NBA Playoffs series to the Atlanta Hawks. On May 1, Hathaway’s “The Devil Wears Prada 2” premiered and featured a scene where Hathaway’s character chats up Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns at a Hamptons soiree. The Knicks subsequently went on a historic 13-game winning streak and did not lose again until Game 3 of the NBA Finals on June 9 (Trump attended). Hathaway, a New York City native and lifelong Knicks fan, was jokingly credited for their change in fortune by yours truly and a host of others.
