Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet seems to be able to do it all.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday night, the “Marty Supreme” actor posted a carousel of photos to his Instagram, which included him swishing a contested 3-pointer inside an empty Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n

Anthony Edwards<\/a> wrote “Yea Killa” in the comment section after Chalamet included a photo of three pairs of the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a>All-Star’s Adidas AE 2 signature sneakers, and the New York Knicks<\/a> franchise joked about what could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.<\/p>\n

“Check your DMs we just sent you a 10-day,” the Knicks wrote under Chalamet’s post.<\/p>\n

Chalamet also included a photo of himself at Tyler Kolek’s locker.<\/p>\n

Chalamet is a well-established Knicks superfan, normally appearing courtside at games alongside his girlfriend Kylie Jenner as well as the likes of Ben Stiller, Tracy Morgan and Spike Lee.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the “Dune” actor skipped the Met Gala for the second consecutive year and instead attended Game 1 of the Knicks’ Eastern Conference semifinals series against the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> at the Garden, while Jenner shone at the New York fashion event.<\/p>\n

In the Instagram post, Chalamet included an image of Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a> whispering in his ear after New York’s 137-98 win over Philly, in which the center finished with 17 points to go with six rebounds and assists apiece.<\/p>\n

New York will look to advance to a 2-0 lead as it hosts the Sixers for Game 2 (7 p.m. ET, ESPN). And if Chalamet did ever respond to the Knicks’ DM, there might be a chance to see the actor on television screens in a New York uniform instead of holding a ping-pong paddle.br\/]<\/p>\n
