Summary
After New York's championship win in San Antonio, Timothée Chalamet said he would "way rather" have the Knicks' NBA title than an Oscar.
The remark landed because Chalamet is a longtime Knicks fan who has regularly appeared courtside during the team's title run.
Chalamet has earned multiple Oscar nominations without a win, turning the comparison into a personal measure of how much the championship meant to him.
SportsCenter circulated video of the postgame celebration, amplifying a celebrity reaction that underscored the emotion around the Knicks' breakthrough title.
