Fans React to Timothee Chalamet Announcement During Knicks-Pacers Game 6
Fans React to Timothee Chalamet Announcement During Knicks-Pacers Game 6 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When the New York Knicks play, the stars come out. Ben Stiller, Larry David, Bad Bunny, and, of course, Spike Lee are all regulars courtside, although the Knicks travel very well, bringing their most famous fans on the road with them. Advertisement This season, especially in this postseason, actor Timothée Chalamet has been a staple courtside, and in Game 6 in Indianapolis against the Pacers, it was no exception, as he was sitting behind the basket in the first row. Actor and New York Knicks fan Timothee Chalamet cheers while sitting courtside.© Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images While Chalamet wasn't the only star in the building (Caitlin Clark was there to cheer on the Pacers), he represents a younger generation of Knicks fans who expect the best from their team. The NBA is driven by its stars, with players like LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant shouldering the league for decades, but the league opted to capitalize on Chalamet, who is a different kind of superstar. Chalamet and Jenner have been involved in a relationship for two years, and the couple has been courtside at every game of the Eastern Conference Finals, prompting reactions from fans. Advertisement "He fr got Kylie Jenner in Indianapolis on a Saturday night," posted a fan. "They're going to be in tears by the end of the night," posted another, as the Pacers took a commanding lead. "Bro willingly got her to come to INDIANA," joked another. "He's the one." Of course, not everyone cared for the celebrity update. "We follow NBA for the action not for the actors," pointed out a fan, while others offered a very simple "noboy cares." The NBA is a league of stars, and as long as the Association gets attention and engagement, expect them to put A-listers front and center.

Knicks Players, Coaches Had Major Karl-Anthony Towns Complaints During Season
Knicks Players, Coaches Had Major Karl-Anthony Towns Complaints During Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks traded for Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges last offseason with the hopes that they could, after 26 years, finally make the NBA Finals. Advertisement They got close, falling to the Indiana Pacers in six games in the Eastern Conference Finals. While New York had the talent (but not the depth) to keep up with the Pacers, their effort all season had been questioned. While Josh Hart, OG Anunoby, and Bridges seemed to fit perfectly with Jalen Brunson in Tom Thibodeau's system, Towns was the odd man out, despite his undeniable talents.

Rebilas-Imagn Images Towns Showed No Effort on Defense In the postseason, Towns' offensive efficiency and scoring numbers took a slight hit, but it was nothing too serious. However, on defense, he didn't look bought in, which quickly wore down his teammates and coaching staff. Advertisement "Publicly, Knicks players made veiled comments all season about poor communication causing their inconsistencies," reported The Athletic's James Edwards III (subscription required). "Behind the scenes, they and coaches expressed frustration with Towns' defensive habits — less concerned with his talent level and more with his process on that end. Too often, Towns executed incorrect coverages without communicating why he did it. After it became a theme, players worried Towns didn't grasp the importance of the matter." In the postseason, Jalen Duren shot 71.4 percent when guarded by Towns in the first round, and Luke Kornet shot 83.3 percent when guarded by him in the second round. In the Conference Finals, Myles Turner shot only 56 percent from the floor and 31.8 percent from deep, and Towns held him to 0-for-6 shooting from deep, although his interior defense was suspect at best all season long. Advertisement As the Knicks look to retool and make another Finals push next season, KAT is already the odd man out and has already been included in trade rumors.

New York Knicks Have Two Scapegoats After Loss to Indiana Pacers
New York Knicks Have Two Scapegoats After Loss to Indiana Pacers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Before the 2024-25 NBA season, the New York Knicks pulled off two of the biggest trades of the offseason, adding Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets and Karl-Anthony Towns from the Minnesota Timberwolves. Advertisement With their new star-studded roster, the Knicks felt that they could compete for an NBA championship, although they ultimately would lose to the Indiana Pacers in the playoffs for the second season in a row. While Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, Mitchell Robinson, and Mikal Bridges were solid in the Eastern Conference Finals, two scapegoats emerged for the Knicks. Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (0), New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (11), center Karl-Anthony Towns (32), and forward Josh Hart (3)© Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart Did Not Live Up to Expectations During the Knicks' playoff run last season, Josh Hart was one of the best players on the roster, grabbing rebounds, hitting timely shots, and playing stellar defense. With the addition of Towns, the Knicks bolstered their star power and were expected to compete, although they ran into a similar situation as last season. Advertisement When New York needed Towns and Hart the most, they were non-factors. Towns averaged 24.4 points and 12.8 rebounds in the regular season while shooting 42 percent from deep, landing him on his third All-NBA team. Hart averaged 13.6 points and 9.6 boards. In the decisive series, Towns averaged 24.8 points on much worse efficiency and played poor defense down the stretch. Hart posted only 8.3 points and had his starting spot taken from him after Game 2 for Mitchell Robinson, who could emerge as the Knicks' starting center next season. After the early playoff exit, there have been calls for New York to trade Towns, and the argument makes sense. If Brunson, Anunoby, and Bridges can shoulder a large scoring load, perhaps an elite defender is better than a streaky shooter who is known for disappearing in the postseason.
