Actor Timothée Chalamet’s Knicks support earned praise from New York point guard Tyler Kolek, who highlighted his regular attendance at home, away and playoff games.
Speaking to Page Six at the 2026 ESPY Awards, Kolek said Chalamet attended games throughout the Knicks’ previous playoff run and continued supporting the team this season.
Kolek also recognised filmmaker Spike Lee and actors Tracy Morgan and Ben Stiller among the celebrity supporters who frequently follow the team at Madison Square Garden and on the road.
The Knicks guard said the players appreciated seeing prominent fans attend games in different cities and support the team throughout the season.
