Timothée Chalamet finally got his Knicks moment, including a Jalen Brunson heart-to-heart
· Yahoo Sports
The New York Knicks are officially heading to the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years, and no one celebrated the 130-93 series-clinching win over the Cleveland Cavaliers quite like Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. The actor, a staple courtside at Madison Square Garden, was spotted mid-court after making the trip to Cleveland for Game 4, and enjoyed a wild on-court postgame celebration with several players, including a memorable embrace with Jalen Brunson, a back-and-forth with Mikal Bridges, and much more.

For Chalamet, who was just three years old during the Knicks' last Finals appearance in 1999, the moment served as a surreal culmination of a historic playoff run.

Chalamet was seen yelling "we back!" before calling "King Jalen," leading to the two chatting a bit after the Game 4 win.
This was just one of the postgame moments involving Chalamet, as he also embraced Bridges, calling him the "GOAT" and telling the forward he had his jersey hanging up at home. Chalamet then posed with Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns shortly after.
