Ostensibly to promote “Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness,” his sketch-comedy series honoring America’s 250th birthday by skewering events from its history, and premiering June 26 on HBO, the legendary comedian also happened to make his appearance the same day that around two million New York Knicks fans celebrated the team winning its first NBA title in 53 years at a euphoric ticker-tape parade in Manhattan. David, for his part, was courtside during the team’s miraculous Game 4 win against the Spurs, where the Knicks battled from 29 points down to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat on a tip-in from OG Anunoby with 1.2 seconds to go, capping the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history. (Fortunately, David didn’t manage to trip any Knicks players that night like he did Shaq.)
