Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen made another step in their world famous friendship this week when they shared each other's first basketball game.
The Daily Mail shared photos of the duo sitting courtside watching the Knicks play the Mavericks on Tuesday. On Wednesday morning McKellen shared a photo on Instagram of the two standing on the court at Madison Square Garden adding "My first-ever basketball game. Thrilling."

He also plugged the plays the two are starring in No Man's Land and Waiting for Godot. On Twitter Stewart added that it was his first game as well.
The X-Men stars have taken the world by storm with their pictures of the duo hanging out in New York. They brought in the New Year's side by side and watched the Super Bowl together, although they may have been a bit confused. McKellen even officiated Stewart's wedding in September.

Stewart made headlines in May when he had his first pizza slice.

McKellen and Stewart are starring in No Man's Land and Waiting for Godot on Broadway with Billy Crudup and Shuler Hensley until March 30th.
