Chalamet has been unwavering in his support for the team this spring, proudly wearing Knicks colors. He even chose to skip the glamorous Met Gala to support the squad during their high-stakes playoff battle against the Celtics.
Stoudemire witnessed Chalamet’s commitment firsthand at Madison Square Garden on Monday, where the Knicks secured an exhilarating win against Boston, and he wanted to acknowledge Chalamet’s passion for the team.

He emphasized the significance of dedicated fans, stating, “Every game, we pour our hearts out. It’s incredibly meaningful to know that fans appreciate that effort.”
“So there’s no doubt about it,” he added, “he’s truly deserving of that recognition.”

“Reconnecting amidst such a thrilling atmosphere was truly special,” he shared.
On the topic of the current Knicks roster, Stoudemire spoke positively, offering an inspiring motivational talk ahead of their significant Game 5.
