Kylie Jenner, Timothée Chalamet Celebrate Historic Knicks Win in Sweet Moment
The New York Knicks are going to shoot their shot at an NBA championship.
The team is advancing to the finals after securing the Eastern Conference title during Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on May 25. This marks the Knicks' first finals appearance since 1999, and they got an assist in celebrating from their dedicated fans.
Of course, this includes Timothée Chalamet. The Oscar nominee—who has been sitting courtside with his girlfriend, reality star Kylie Jenner, throughout the playoffs—hugged and congratulated the players after the big win. And while fans may call him by his name, the team calls Chalamet the “Knicks’ biggest hype man.”
And he proved the nickname holds true following the milestone moment.
"Knicks to the motherf--king finals," Chalamet wrote on Instagram Stories after the victory, "that’s it."
Tracy Morgan was also in the zone when it came to soaking in the moment. In fact, a video shared by ESPN showed the comedian crying tears of joy. Superfans Spike Lee, Fat Joe and Ben Stiller were having a ball too.
"It’s 1 am," the Zoolander alum wrote on X, "KNICKS ARE EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPS."
As for who will play the Knicks in the NBA Finals, it all comes down to who clinches the Western Conference title. The Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs currently sit tied at 2-2 and are set to face off in Game 5 on May 26.
If the Knicks do win it all, it will be their first NBA championship victory since 1973 and third overall (they were also declared the champs in 1970).
Still, fans will have to wait and see who gets the trophy. Viewers can watch the 2026 NBA Finals starting June 3 at 8:30 p.m. EST on ABC. Until then, keep scrolling to see who else is on the Knicks' star-studded roster of fans.

Ben Stiller
You could never sever Ben Stiller's tie to the Knicks. In fact, the Severance director said that if he could choose between winning an Oscar or having the team take the championship title, he'd pick the latter.
"I really think, at the end of the day, if I knew that I had the choice, I would give it to the Knicks," he said on New Heights in 2025, "because I knew at least I had the choice in this weird, non-real situation."
