But the lifelong celebrity Knicks fans felt just as elated over the end to the title drought. Timothée Chalamet was the most notable and visible. The four-time Oscar nominee actor, who was seen taking some deep breaths throughout the tense final moments, gave an honest reaction in the aftermath. “Way rather this than the Oscars, c’mon, baby! Knicks are champions, baby!” Chalamet, who has been nominated for four Oscars but has yet to win one, yelled during the trophy ceremony, where Brunson was named series MVP.

At one point, Timothee Chalamet appeared to grab a reporter’s microphone and keep hold of it while dancing near a group of Knicks cheerleaders, with the chaotic postgame scene turning into something close to a mosh pit. The Hollywood star was also seen celebrating with girlfriend Kylie Jenner, other courtside celebrities and Knicks players after one of the wildest NBA Finals finishes ever. Another video shows Chalamet ripping off his jean jacket and t-shirt to go tarps off as the celebration continued.
Swift isn’t the only celebrity who’s viewing the Knicks stage as a fashion stage. Timothée Chalamet’s courtside outfit created buzz before Game 4, with Kylie Jenner matching alongside him. Whether the original “Stevie Knicks” shirt was handmade by a friend, commissioned for the game or created exclusively for Swift’s group remains unclear. Fans on Reddit are speculating that Swift did, in fact, DIY her courtside look (after all, she’s crafty and makes homemade sourdough).

Actor Timothée Chalamet declared “Knicks in 5” after his hometown team pulled off a historic comeback to beat the Spurs 107-106 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night. “Come on, it’s the Knicks, baby!” Chalamet yelled while on the court at Madison Square Garden, as seen in a video online after the Knicks took a 3-1 series lead. He held up five fingers before bringing his hands to a prayer gesture.
The hunt for Knicks tickets has created a cutthroat Hunger Games–like competition during this week’s NBA Finals. But Hollywood stars and Wall Streeters pursuing Celebrity Row seats at Madison Square Garden should be forewarned: There are some unofficial rules to scoring the ultimate in luxury, courtside seats, say sources. As the Knicks and Spurs face off at the World’s Most Famous Arena, they’ll be flanked by a few dozen camera-friendly seats that have become known for hosting A-listers like Timothée Chalamet, Spike Lee, Kylie Jenner, Ben Stiller, Tracy Morgan, and Fat Joe.
The physical demands of the NBA Finals can be more than a player’s problem — just ask Timothée Chalamet. The Hollywood A-lister — and Knicks superfan — posted a picture to his Instagram story of him with two plastic bags of ice on his knees while resting on a couch in Texas and donning a Knicks playoff shirt. Chalamet, seemingly worn out from cheering on the sidelines during the Knicks’ 105-95 Game 1 win over the Spurs on Wednesday, posted the picture to his 21.2 million Instagram followers. “Ppl underestimate the wear and tear on the body of a fan throughout the playoffs,” Chalamet said in a corresponding Instagram story post. “Self care is important.”
From red carpets to award shows, and now, sports-themed podcasts. Late last night, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner were spotted together on the set of Mind the Game, a popular basketball-themed podcast hosted by NBA legends LeBron James and Steve Nash, where Jenner came out to support her beau. Chalamet—an avid basketball fan who has certainly proven his extensive sports knowledge in the past—is guest-starring on Mind the Game, where he will take part in a discussion about the high level of discipline it takes in order to be at the top of your game (a feeling that both athletes and actors can understand well).

Pat McAfee, who also appears as a commentator on WWE’s “Monday Night Raw,” channeled his inner wrestling heel as he chided the likes of Spike Lee, Ben Stiller and Timothée Chalamet. “Indianapolis, Indiana, we’ve got some bigwigs from the big city in the building,” McAfee started off saying. “Spike Lee is here,” he said as the crowd booed. “Ben Stiller is here,” he continued eliciting more boos. “Timothée Chalamet is here. Let’s send these sons of bitches back to New York with their ears ringing. Let’s turn this s–t up!”
For courtside seats near the Garden’s famous Celebrity Row, where Timothée Chalamet, Bad Bunny and Spike Lee usually sit, the price is $62,000, according to StubHub. Ticketmaster, the official ticketing platform for the Knicks, has a pair of seats one row behind courtside for around $19,300. Both options come with exclusive lounge access, VIP entry and in-seat dining.
