Player dismisses Kylie Jenner's influence on Game 6 outcome as mere superstition
Chilling at Madison Square: Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's Game 6 Appearance
The hype's on! Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are set to join the roaring crowd at Game 6 of the New York Knicks versus Boston Celtics showdown, right smack in the heart of NYC on May 16, 2025. But hold up, Chris Childs, former Knicks guard, isn't ready to anoint Jenner as some magical "good luck charm."
Speaking to the TMZ heat, Childs coolly shot down the social media influencer's impact, instead elevating the championship-caliber players like Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson. "Nah, don't buy into that 'good luck charm' nonsense!" he retorted. "If I had to christen anyone as a lucky charm, it'd be the star players like Brunson and Hart who get their boots dirty and deliver on the court!"
As for the "next Spike Lee" title, Childs isn't jumping aboard the hype train just yet. Amar'e Stoudemire got his relationship with Chalamet, but Lee's unwavering loyalty to the Knicks gives him an edge in Childs' eyes. "Spike's been faithful to the Knicks for what, close to 30 years now," Childs pointed out, acknowledging Chalamet's potential but ensuring he's still got a long way to go before he earns that mantle[4].
Game Time!
With Chalamet and Jenner expected to cheer on the Knicks, we can expect an electric atmosphere at the Garden. But will the celeb duo's presence light up the Knicks' performance? Only time—and the final score—will tell!
As the Knicks reel from the sting of their 25-point drubbing in Game 5, they're back at it, ready to regain control of the series. Whether Brunson's foul trouble can be navigated remains to be seen, but Hart's 24 points hint at a hungry Knick pack poised for a comeback. Could Chalamet's fervor catch fire under the bright lights and push the Knicks to victory? Or will Boston steal the show in Game 6?
From Social Media to Center Court
Chalamet, a dedicated Knicks fan and NYC native, has been flashing his Knicks pride this postseason. He's even been caught rubbing elbows with some storied Knicks legends, like Spike Lee and Amar'e Stoudemire. A seasoned Knick himself, Stoudemire welcomed Chalamet into the tight-knit Knicks family years ago. Their bond has only grown stronger, with their court-side chats and shared love for the Knicks cementing their camaraderie[5].
Will Chalamet and Jenner's presence help the Knicks clinch the series or send it to a winner-take-all Game 7 in Boston? The answer lies within the players' grit and talent, not in the glamour of their courtside companions. As the clock winds down on Game 6, only one thing's for certain: The NBA playoffs are heating up, and the Knicks and Celtics are ready to throw the ball in the air—and the towel, if necessary!
