Timothée Chalamet makes personal career admission following New York Knicks historic NBA win

Timothée Chalamet NBA Knicks New York Knicks the New York Knicks
  • Timothée Chalamet, a three-time Oscar nominee, declared he would rather see the New York Knicks win an NBA championship than receive an Academy Award himself, following his hometown team's victory.
  • The New York Knicks secured their first NBA title in 53 years, defeating the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the 2026 NBA Finals, ending a drought that stretched back to 1973.
  • A dedicated Knicks supporter, Chalamet was present courtside for the decisive game in San Antonio, having previously prioritised watching the team over attending this year's Met Gala.
  • Following the win, Chalamet joined players for on-court celebrations and the traditional champagne spray in the locker room, humorously declining protective goggles as he felt he didn't deserve them as a non-athlete.
  • The long-awaited championship sparked widespread celebrations across New York City, with fans gathering for public watch parties and a ticker-tape parade announced by Mayor Zohran Mamdani to commemorate the historic victory.
