Michael Strahan just hung up the mic on The $100,000 Pyramid, and yeah — it got a little emotional. But Strahan pulled a smooth double shift in sports media — emotional game show goodbye one day, courtside at Knicks–Celtics the next.

Forget the usual “retired athlete fades away” story. He bounced right off the stage into the front row of one of the NBA’s hottest matchups like it was his second job — which, honestly, it is. Right after his heartfelt farewell to the Pyramid crew, he made a quick cameo on an ESPN NFL broadcast. He reminded everyone that he still has plenty left in the football media. Then boom, courtside at Madison Square Garden, soaking in Knicks–Celtics playoff energy with the big dogs.

Strahan’s a regular courtside at MSG for Knicks games, especially big matchups and playoff runs. During Game 3 of the 2025 Knicks-Celtics playoff series, he was spotted on celebrity row with New York Giants legend Eli Manning and his son. Other stars like Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan, Ben Stiller, and Knicks icon Walt Frazier were there too. This isn’t a casual fan stop — Strahan’s a staple in New York sports.

He’s loud and proud about his Knicks love. On May 12, 2025, Strahan posted a courtside photo from MSG with the caption: “Let’s go, @nyknicks.” It came not long after he caught some heat from Giants fans for waving an Eagles flag during a Super Bowl broadcast. Strahan made sure to remind everyone where his New York loyalties lie.

Alongside holding it down on FOX NFL Sunday and probably wrapping up his Good Morning America contract in summer ’25, he’s keeping his calendar open for whatever’s next. Football, daytime TV, hardwood cameras — he’s still in the mix. The man’s not just transitioning — he’s leveling up.

What’s Next for Michael Strahan? The Sports and Media World Awaits

So, Michael Strahan’s not exactly riding off into the sunset just yet. After waving goodbye to The $100,000 Pyramid and gearing down from Good Morning America next summer, the guy is making moves behind the scenes. In 2025, he dropped the Michael Strahan Design Lab — a slick custom suit service under his lifestyle brand. No more boring off-the-rack stuff. Now, dudes can get sharp, personalized suits delivered right to their door. And that’s just one slice of his empire, which already spans over 50 product categories — think apparel, home goods, even official NFL and NHL merch. The man’s got style, and he’s cashing in on it.

But Strahan isn’t stopping at fashion. He’s also flexing in the TV game with new projects on deck that aren’t your usual morning show or game show gigs. Oh, and here’s a twist: he’s set to drive the pace car at the 2025 Indy 500. Yeah, he’s jumping into motorsports media, mixing it up beyond football and daytime TV. Talk about switching lanes.

Still, with family priorities calling, especially after his daughter’s health challenges, Strahan’s expected to dial back the daytime hustle soon. Makes sense. You gotta balance the grind with what matters off-camera.

And here’s the real headline — Strahan’s reportedly gunning for a minority ownership stake in his old stomping grounds, the New York Giants. Teaming up with billionaire Marc Lasry, he’s aiming for about 10% of the franchise. Meanwhile, Eli Manning, his former teammate and NYC sports royalty, is also in the mix. Imagine the boardroom banter if those two wind up co-owners. From dominant defensive end to part-owner? That’s next-level legacy building.

Whether it’s courtside at MSG, calling games, launching suits, or chasing NFL ownership, Michael Strahan isn’t slowing down. He’s rewriting the post-retirement playbook — mixing business, media, and family with the same grit he had on the field. One thing’s clear: Strahan’s not done. Not even close.
