Timothée Chalamet has entered the chat… and by “chat,” we mean Madison Square Garden. Yes, the Oscar-nominated, jawline-having, dreamboat of Gen Z (and some millennials who refuse to age) showed up looking like a walking Vogue editorial to watch the Knicks face off against the Pacers — and brought none other than Zoolander himself, Ben Stiller, along for the ride.
Because nothing screams “intense playoff energy” like Timmy T and Ben looking like they’re about to drop an indie film called Basketball, But Make It Sad.
It all went down Wednesday night (May 21) for Game One of the Eastern Conference Finals, where hopes were high, vibes were immaculate, and defense was… apparently optional. The final score? Pacers 138, Knicks 135. Yes, it was close. No, New Yorkers are not okay.
Also spotted courtside? A random Avengers-level crossover of Tracy Morgan (probably heckling someone), Martha Stewart (probably judging snacks), and Dave Chappelle (definitely making everyone uncomfortable in the best way possible).
Now, Timmy wasn’t just there for the hoops. This man bleeds orange and blue — he grew up in NYC and has been a Knicks stan long before it was trendy. Like, back when they were heartbreak specialists. And if you’re wondering where Kylie Jenner was — don’t worry, she’s still on the courtside couple roster. Last week, she and Timothée served PDA and popcorn at another game, looking like the most stylish halftime show you’ve ever seen.
Knicks lost, but courtside fashion and unexpected celeb friendships won. We’ll take the small victories, okay?
