- Whoopi Goldberg has, once again, collapsed live on *The View*.

- The EGOT-winning actress reacted to news of the New York Knicks winning Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

- Goldberg fell back in her chair as her cohosts watched.

Whoopi Goldberg has, once again, put on a stunning display of collapse-based artistry live on *The View*.

The EGOT-winning actress' latest faux faint came on Thursday morning, as the cohosts walked out to the Hot Topics table celebrating the New York Knicks basketball team's historic Game 4 victory in the NBA Finals.

The studio audience applauded the cohosts walked out to set, with three of them — Goldberg, Sara Haines, and Sunny Hostin — wearing New York Knicks shirts in celebration of the big win.**

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute!" Goldberg said as the audience cheered over the news, eventually falling back in her chair in shock. "Just hold on a second! Did you see what happened at the Garden last night?"

This is, by far, not the first time Goldberg has collapsed at the table. Goldberg has tapped out several times in the past, including over Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, comments about Donald Trump, and coverage of the *Real Housewives* franchise.

The crowd again cheered, while Goldberg — who was in attendance when the Knicks won Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden — summarized the game. The Knicks recovered from a 29-point deficit to win 107 to 106 over the San Antonio Spurs to take a 3-1 lead in the series.

"The Knicks scored the greatest comeback in NBA history. This was the greatest game and the worst game. It was all in one, but, for me, the greatest game I've ever witnessed in my life as a fan of any sport," Goldberg said. "This goes down, for me, as the greatest game ever played."

Goldberg and Hostin then got up from the table to demonstrate a few of the preceding evening's game-winning maneuvers.

"This was the greatest way to say to people it ain't over until it's over, until the hefty person sings, until the woman with the big feet sings, it doesn't matter, it's never over until it's over, and don't give up," the *Sister Act* star said. "You saw what they did. They played poorly and those refs, y'all, because you were making calls nobody ever heard of before."

Goldberg has long supported the New York Knicks from her post on *The View.*

In May, Goldberg celebrated the Knicks' advancement to the NBA Finals, its first since 1999, by walking out to the set while holding a broom to symbolize the team sweeping the competition.

"I just wanted to finish sweeping this up right here. Is that the sweep? Yeah!" Goldberg said as the audience applauded, with Goldberg later adding, "We want to start off by congratulating the New York Knicks for making it to the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years after sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers."**
