Knicks say $1M was winning auction bid for 2 celebrity row seats

NEW YORK -- In the NBA Finals, celebrity row property is worth $1 million.

The New York Knicks announced that that was the winning bid in an auction for two seats for Game 3 on Monday night, the first NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden since 1999.

The winning bid was split by the law firm Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher LLP and private equity firm Veritas Capital. The fundraiser benefited the Garden of Dreams Foundation, and the Knicks said it was the largest single donation in the history of the foundation, which works with MSG's companies to assist children at need in the tristate area.
