Knicks fans were reveling in their team’s big win Friday night, and superfan Timothée Chalamet was in the middle of the fun.
After the Knicks knocked off the Celtics in Game 6 in the second round of the NBA playoffs, supporters flocked to the streets around Madison Square Garden, leading to many a delirious scene.
One of those involved Chalamet, the “A Complete Unknown” actor, who was in the back seat of a black car on 33rd Street outside entrance C of the Garden and was just as jubilant as the rest of the diehards in Midtown.
Chalamet was all smiles, high-fiving excited fans as he popped out of the back window, and he didn’t seem any worse for wear as fans touched him.
It was one of the many scenes of chaos after the Knicks’ 119-81 win over the Celtics, as photos and videos outside the arena showed some fans climbing up light poles, at least one burning of a Celtics jacket and others chanting and yelling in pure exultation.
Another noted Knicks superfan, Spike Lee, was seen going in a car slowly down Eighth Avenue, greeting fans as he stuck out through the sunroof of his vehicle.

Chalamet has been having fun during this current Knicks playoff run, as his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, even went solo to the Met Gala while he watched Game 1.
He then watched Game 2 from Rome after the couple made their red carpet debut at the David di Donatello Awards.
But they were back in the states for the series shifting back to New York, as they sat courtside with Kylie’s sister, Kendall, for the Knicks’ 4 Game 4 win.
After that win, Chalamet even dapped up big man Karl-Anthony Towns in a moment of pure joy.
The SAG Award winner took in Game 5’s loss in Boston as his beau went into vacation mode, and then made it back to New York for the series clincher, sitting next to rapper Bad Bunny and once again sharing a moment with Towns.
Chalamet will get at least one more series to cheer on his favorite team, as the Knicks next take on the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals, which start Wednesday night at the Garden.
