Knicks Star Tyler Kolek Reacts to Getting Stopped by Police at Parade

“I saw a couple different angles of [it],” he continued, “and some of the guys were like, ‘What are you doing? That's Tyler Kolek. You don't know who that is?’”

And just like Kolek didn’t let his parade mishap derail his day of celebrating the Knicks, the athlete doesn’t let his focus on basketball hold him back from pursuing other interests. 

That’s why he was excited to lean into his “natural” and “organic” sense of style—with the help of his stylist Olivier Rogers—at the 2026 ESPYS, hosted by Marcello Hernández at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York.

“Obviously I'm focused on basketball—that's number one,” he shared. “But [I like] to get in a different lane, have a little bit of fun with it. You know, have fun on the court [and] you got to have fun off the court, too.”
