🏀🧡💙 Knicks fever is nothing new for Lisa Bonner ’97, pictured here (second from left) with The Originals – Crystal McCrary ’95 (far left), Rita Williams-Ewing (far right), and Tonya Lewis Lee. While Bonner and McCrary were attending NYU Law, their then husbands, Anthony Bonner and Greg Anthony, were part of the 90s Knicks team that consistently made the playoffs—a team that also included Patrick Ewing, husband of Howard University-trained lawyer Rita, with UVa Law alum Tonya accompanying superfan husband, director, and NYU Professor Spike Lee.

Now a successful entertainment lawyer, Bonner recently spoke to NYU Law about those exciting games at Madison Square Garden, taking Con Law with the late Professor Derrick Bell, and her friendship with The Originals that has survived for 30 years. “Back in the day, there was no social media. But we still had to deal with the paparazzi and the New York tabloids. And we were definitely living under a microscope in that sense. But when we were at the Knicks games, we always knew who we were.” Click here for the full story: https://t.co/bAg2deikfp

More than 900 NYU Law graduates were celebrated at the 2026 convocation at Madison Square Garden, where speakers John Sexton and Joseph H.H. Weiler reflected on leadership, integrity, community, and the responsibility to use the law to create meaningful change. From honoring perseverance to encouraging respectful dialogue and service, the ceremony marked both an ending and the start of a new chapter for the Class of 2026. 🎓💜https://t.co/vLSdatTbIq

“In this wonderful but bruised country of ours, law is our civil religion. It’s what binds us as a community. It’s what builds bridges across it…if you can say that you’ve used the law well 60 years from now, you will have a good life, and you will have joy as well as happiness.” –John Sexton, Dean and President Emeritus of New York University #NYU2026
