If you were to ask anyone before the start of the second round series between bitter rivals, the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics, who would win? The most likely answer would be the defending champions, and rightly so. The Cs have dominated the regular season and carried their form into the postseason. On the other hand, the Knicks went through a grueling seven-game series against the Pistons. However, all of this was thrown out the window as the Knicks made back-to-back comebacks to earn a crucial 2-0 lead in the series. Now, Jalen Brunson and Co. look to capture a 3-0 lead and put Boston in the position of no return, and they have a lot of support.
That’s because it’s a star-studded affair both on and off the court tonight at Madison Square Garden. The New York Knicks are playing in arguably the biggest match of this season as they look to take a crucial 3-0 lead in the series. Among the stars in attendance are the likes of Thimothéé Chalamet, Ben Stiller, Tracy Morgan, and others. Chalamet is known to be a die-hard Knicks fan and recently took to Instagram to express his emotions for Game 1. “Shaking. What a win.” Chalamet wrote his story. “This game is insane,” he also posted in his previous story. With the series shifting to New York, Chalamet has decided to attend Game 3, as any die-hard New York faithful would.
However, while his fans should be happy, they seem to have a big question on their mind. “So he is no longer with Kylie?” One fan noted, as he spotted the actor alone in the stands. He questioned the relationship status of the superstar as he was spotted alone in the stands. Well, this has been an ongoing rumor, as just a few days back, several of the most famous celebrity couples were seen gracing the 2025 Met Gala with their presence. However, the most notable couple that was missing from the red carpet was none other than Thimothéé Chalamet and Kylie Jenner.

All throughout the awards season and up until last month, the couple who have been rumored to be together since 2023, have been parading their love for everyone to see. However, they did not show up to the star-studded affair in New York City, surprising many. While not many seemed to know the reason behind their absence, it was later revealed that her boyfriend was enjoying the Knicks in action from the comfort of his home. However, with the series now in the Big Apple, fans have been left stunned yet again and have a lot of questions on their mind.

While there are a lot of eyes on Thimothéé Chalamet, who was spotted sitting all by himself in the stands, there were other celebrities in the stands as well. One fan pointed out, “With these celebs, the Knicks are basically making a Hollywood movie.” He commented. The fan suggested that with the likes of Tracy Morgan, Ben Stiller, Sting, Eli Manning, and of course, Thimothéé Chalamet, the Knicks’ home court looks like a Hollywood movie. Indeed, it does.

Meanwhile, another fan was left feeling a bit unusual. “Seeing Sting without his face paint is crazy.” He wrote. The fan pointed out that seeing the retired wrestler without his usual painted face seems a bit odd. The 66-year-old was in attendance for this huge game for the Knicks. Moreover, a user noted that Chalamet seemed a bit cool. “Gotta hand it to Timothée Chalamet all things considered he seems like a pretty chill dude.” The fan stated that Chalamet, who’s known for being a fan favorite, seems like a chill guy.
At the same time, another user stated that “Knicks fans are so hyped,” pointing out the electrifying energy at Madison Square Garden. Indeed, the crowd was one of the best in the league, if not the best we’ve seen so far this season. The Knicks fans are infamous for being one of the most hostile and die-hard fans, and they totally lived up to their name tonight. As Jalen Brunson and Co. look to take a massive advantage in the series in front of their home crowd.
