What happened

Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez was all smiles while on Celebrity Row at Madison Square Garden during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals Thursday night.

Common ground

Rodriguez, co-owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves, posed for a photo with singer Jon Bon Jovi during the second quarter of the Knicks’ 109-93 win over the Cavaliers.
