Fact Check
Multiple independent primary news outlets (NY Post, Fox News, Yahoo Sports) confirm Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs at MSG became the most expensive NBA game on record, with cheapest ticket prices climbing from $9,000 to over $10,000 in the days leading up to the game. The specific $10,622 figure quoted by The Kobeissi Letter on X matches TickPick's snapshot at that moment, consistent with the rapidly rising prices documented across SeatGeek, StubHub, and Gametime. The claim's core assertions (record-most-expensive NBA game, cheapest seat above $10,000) are well-supported.

The post says the game will break previous pricing records by a wide margin, underscoring unusually strong demand for a Finals matchup and the scarcity premium that can emerge in resale markets for marquee events.
