Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner take in Knicks-Pacers Game 6 after making trip to Indy
The Knicks' superfans are ready for more Hoosier hospitality. Timothée Chalamet, 29, made a return trip to Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Saturday for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals, two days after the Knicks saved their season with a dominant 111-94 win over the Garden — and this time, he was with girlfriend Kylie Jenner.

Getty Images The Pacers, now one win away from a trip to the NBA Finals, took Game 4 at home, with star Tyrese Haliburton putting up a triple-double in the 130-121 victory. Indiana was supported by some of their celeb fans Tuesday night, including former Colts punter and ESPN personality Pat McAfee, who called out Ben Stiller and Co. on the Jumbotron. 'Indianapolis, Indiana, we've got some bigwigs from the big city in the building,' McAfee, 38, began. Timothée Chalamet and Ben Stiller cheered on the Knicks during their Game 5 win on May 29, 2025, at MSG. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post '… Let's send these sons of bitches back to New York with their ears ringing. Let's turn this s–t up!' Advertisement The trolling not only perplexed Stiller — 'Just seems a little cartoonish' — but Indiana native and Hall of Fame singer-songwriter John Mellencamp, who apologized for McAfee's behavior on social media. 'I was embarrassed when somebody, under whose direction I don't know, called out some of the people who had made the trip from New York to support their team — and in turn, support our team. The audience booed these people. I'd say that was not Hoosier Hospitality. One could only say it's poor, poor sportsmanship. I was not proud to be a Hoosier, and I've lived here my entire life,' the statement read. Pat McAfee called out the Knicks' celeb fans during Game 4.

I'm sure the Pacers had nothing to do with this smackdown.' Advertisement In return, McAfee told Mellencamp to 'shut the f–k up' on his self-titled ESPN program Friday. It remains to be seen if the Knicks' A-Listers will get the last laugh over McAfee Saturday night. If necessary, Game 7 shifts back to New York on Monday.

Tyrese Haliburton dunks on Ben Stiller after Pacers clinch NBA Finals berth with win over Knicks
Tyrese Haliburton got the last laugh on Saturday night as he fired back at New York Knicks fan Ben Stiller on social media following Indiana's Eastern Conference Finals victory. Haliburton had 21 points, 13 assists and three steals as the Pacers won Game 6, 125-108. Pascal Siakam led Indiana with 31 points and Obi Toppin had 18 points off the bench. Haliburton and his other Pacers teammates entered the Gainbridge Fieldhouse wearing all black, alluding to having a funeral for the Knicks and the series. He carried a black duffel bag with him as he walked through the arena's corridor. Stiller had some words on X. "Good thing he brought his duffel for the flight to NY," he wrote. After the game, Haliburton fired back. "Nah, was to pack y'all up," Haliburton wrote. It will be the first time the Pacers will compete in the NBA Finals since 2000, when the Reggie Miller and Rik Smits-led team ran into the Los Angeles Lakers. The franchise has never won an NBA championship, but had three American Basketball Association titles before the merger. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle knows there's still a major challenge ahead. "This is no time to be popping champagne," he said. "When you get to this point of the season, it's two teams and it's one goal. So it becomes an all or nothing thing and we understand the magnitude of it." The Pacers will meet the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Finals, starting on Thursday. The Thunder were the best team in the NBA all season long. Oklahoma City defeated Indiana in both matchups during the regular season.

Knicks vs. Pacers: Tyrese Haliburton takes swipe at Ben Stiller after Indiana bounces New York from playoffs
Tyrese Haliburton got the win and the last word. Check back in 25 or 30 years to see if the barbs Haliburton and actor/director Ben Stiller exchanged during the Eastern Conference finals will have the enduring memory of the feud between Reggie Miller and Spike Lee. But in the culture of 2025, the Indiana Pacers star scored a strong final zinger against the New York Knicks superfan. Advertisement Prior to Saturday's Game 6 matchup, a clip of Haliburton arriving at the Pacers' home arena of Gainbridge Fieldhouse circulated online. The two-time All-Star cut an imposing figure walking down a corridor dressed all in black, referencing the Knicks doing the same before last year's Game 6 playoff matchup. But in response to the video, Stiller focused on the duffel bag Haliburton was carrying. "Good thing he brought his duffel for the flight to NY," Stiller quipped. It was a good line from Stiller, implying that the Knicks would win Game 6 and send the series back to Madison Square Garden for a decisive Game 7. But it rang hollow approximately six hours later when the Pacers won, 125-108, and eliminated New York from the NBA playoffs. And Haliburton responded while celebrating Indiana's victory. Advertisement "Nah, was to pack y'all up," he replied, following up an on-court win with a social media win. Stiller showed he was a good sport and no hard feelings lingered, wishing Haiburton and the Pacers well in their NBA Finals matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. "Congrats," he said. "All the best in OKC." So will Haliburton start trading digs with any celebrity Thunder fans during the NBA Finals? Maybe with legendary WWE broadcaster Jim Ross? Is "Saturday Night Live" alum and "Barry" star Bill Hader on social media? Would sniping back and forth with actor James Marsden bring the same juice? Perhaps an opponent will rise once the NBA Finals begin on Thursday.

Fans given never-before-seen glimpse at Travis Kelce's surprising role in Happy Gilmore 2 as new trailer drops
With 'Happy Gilmore 2' less than two months away from being released, fans have been treated to another glimpse at Travis Kelce 's cameo in the movie. Back in December, it was revealed that the Chiefs star would be playing some sort of hotel or country club employee, as he appeared in a vest and tie in a teaser for the sequel. Now, Netflix has released an extended, two-plus minute trailer for the film ahead of its July 25 release, and a bit more detail has emerged regarding Kelce's character. In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo in the new clip, Kelce can be seen shooting 'Boo!' in the face of Bad Bunny, who plays the caddy for Sandler's Happy Gilmore character in the film. And some fans were shocked to learn that Kelce shared screen time with the pop star. 'Nobody understands how important travis and benito together is for my culture,' one wrote on X. Summer just got happy-er. Adam Sandler stars in Happy Gilmore 2 arriving July 25. #TUDUM — Netflix (@netflix) June 1, 2025 'Travis with Bad Bunny was not on my bingo card of this year,' a second added. And a third said: 'Travis kelce and bad bunny. now THAT'S a crossover episode.' The sequel of the 1996 comedy classic will follow the mercurial golfer Gilmore as he returns to the sport after 30 years, in order to pay for his daughter's ballet score tuition. And there are plenty more A-list cameos beyond Kelce and Bad Bunny, as the likes of Ben Stiller, Stephen. A Smith, Eric Andre, Post Malone and Margaret Qualley were seen in the trailer. There are also some huge names from the golf world involved, including John Daly, Justin Thomas, Scottie Scheffler and Jack Nicklaus. In the new trailer, Thomas can be seen giddily watching on as Gilmore beats someone up on the golf course, while Scheffler can also be seen in another moment as actor Marcello Hernandez gets punched by Gilmore. Additionally, 'Modern Family' star Julie Bowen has reprised the role of Gilmore's love interest, Virginia Venit, while fans of the movie will also be thrilled to see the return of Gilmore's rival, Shooter McGavin. The original film, which detailed the hilarious story of a failed hockey player-turned-golfer with anger management problems, proved to be a commercial success as it grossed $41.2million at the box office. More importantly, though, it has become a fan favorite over the years, leading to massive anticipation for the sequel - which of course includes Kelce's cameo. Speaking on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon ' in August, Sandler sounded thrilled to have Kelce involved with the project. 'We have a nice something for Travis,' he began, via the New York Post. 'He's going to come by. He's a very nice guy…What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He's a stud, and he's so funny.' Kelce, who mulled retirement from the NFL after his Chiefs lost to the Eagles in the Super Bowl, has begun dipping his toes into the entertainment world as his football career winds down. He appeared in the show 'Grotesquerie' and also hosted 'Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?' for Prime Video. He also served as an executive producer of the film, 'My Dead Friend Zoe,' an award-winning dark comedy.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell taunts Timothee Chalamet, Kylie Jenner and Ben Stiller in surreal moment
T.J. McConnell gave the star-studded celebrity row at Madison Square Garden a little taunting after hitting a 3 in the first half of Game 5 between the Knicks and Pacers on Thursday night. The Pacers point guard knocked down a 3-pointer with 3:14 left in the first quarter to cut the Knicks' lead to 25-18, and on his way back up the court to play defense, he flexed on the celebrity supporters, which was captured by a photographer and posted to social media by the team's X account. Advertisement The hilarious photo shows McConnell gesturing toward the stunned row, which included Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh, Timothée Chalamet and girlfriend Kylie Jenner, and Ben Stiller. The image shows the reaction of the crew with varying degrees of emotions. T.J. McConnell of the Indiana Pacers shooting the ball during Game 5 on May 29, 2025. NBAE via Getty Images Stiller, who is off on the edge of the frame on the right, appeared to be staring McConnell down as Teller seemed to be making a face of frustration mixed with some resignation. Chalamet didn't seem to notice, and Jenner looked almost surprised as McConnell celebrated in their direction. While the trey felt like a big one, the Knicks maintained control throughout much of Thursday's Game 5 at MSG. T.J. McConnell jumps for a rebound during the first quarter of Game 5. Jason Szenes / New York Post The building was packed with stars, aside from the ones McConnell appeared to gesture to. Advertisement Celebrity fans Spike Lee and Tracy Morgan occupied their usual courtside seats, while TV personalities Gayle King and Michael Strahan also sat front row. 'Law & Order: SVU' stars Mariska Hargitay and Kelli Giddish made the trip to the Garden for the game, as did singer Shaboozey, 'Sopranos' star Michael Imperioli and 'Euphoria' star Maude Apatow. Thursday's game did appear to disprove WFAN host Boomer Esiason's presumption, which he made on his morning sports talk show, that the team played better on the road because they 'hate' playing in front of the celebs at MSG.
