The celebrity Knicks fans who travelled to San Antonio for Game 5, including Timothee Chalamet

The New York Knicks ’ push for an NBA title turned Game 5 in San Antonio into another celebrity event, with Timothée Chalamet among the famous fans who made the trip.

The Knicks entered the night one win from their first championship since 1973, so this was never going to feel like a normal road game.

After a wild Game 4 comeback at Madison Square Garden, New York ’s famous courtside energy followed the team to Texas.

As New York Post reported, Timothée Chalamet and Ben Stiller were among the stars who traveled to Knicks-Spurs Game 5 with the NBA title on the line.

Chalamet’s presence made sense. He has been one of the most visible celebrity Knicks fans during this Finals run, and the chance to see New York clinch in San Antonio was always going to pull major names away from Madison Square Garden.

Stiller’s trip was just as fitting. He has been part of the Knicks’ celebrity identity for years, and a potential championship closeout made this one of the biggest games of his fandom.

Other reported Game 5 attendees included Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan, John Turturro, Patrick Ewing, and Sydney Sweeney, giving Frost Bank Center a clear New York flavor despite the game being in Texas.

The basketball stakes were even bigger than the celebrity list.
