There was practically zero chance Timothée Chalamet was going to miss Thursday’s New York Knicks Championship Parade.
After all, this marked, potentially at least, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take part in celebrating a Knicks chip. Over half a century has passed since the team last stood this tall, with all eyes now on what Mike Brown and his roster have in store for next season. Can they build on their history-making run, ultimately bagging back-to-back titles?
That remains to be seen, of course, and Chalamet was among the lifelong Knicks fans who were simply living in the moment at Thursday’s parade.
Chalamet, like Spike Lee and Ben Stiller (though those two have some years on him), has been a fixture at Knicks games as of late. On occasion, he’s also brought Kylie Jenner along for the ride, and he’ll surely be among those featured in Stiller’s upcoming A24 and HBO documentary.
Before he quite possibly goes full villain for another Dune promo run, we’re looking back at a few Knicks and Chalamet highlights, all leading up to Thursday’s parade appearance.
