00:00Timothee Chalamet skipped attending this year's Met Gala with Kylie Jenner,
00:03but basketball fans would say he had a good reason.
00:06Jenner turned heads on the Met Gala carpet in a Schiaparelli dress
00:10that gave the illusion that it was slipping off of her.
00:12But her beau, Chalamet, was notably absent from the star-studded event.
00:16Turns out he was just a few miles away at Madison Square Garden
00:19for Game 1 of the New York Knicks' second-round playoff series
00:22against the Philadelphia 76ers.
00:25They dismantled their tri-state area rivals 137-98.
00:28While Jenner was seen sitting courtside with Chalamet
00:31at a Knicks' first-round playoff game against the Atlanta Hawks just last week,
00:35she likely couldn't miss the chance to strut up the Met steps
00:38alongside her sisters, Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian,
00:41as well as her mom, Kris Jenner.
00:42Known Knicks fan Ben Stiller also decided to skip the game
00:45in favor of attending the Met Gala with his wife, Christine Taylor.
00:48She told Vogue in an interview, quote,
00:50We are representing for the Knicks. We are wearing our Knicks colors.
00:53Still, Stiller was roasted online by basketball fans for choosing the Met over the game.
00:58Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports wrote on X,
01:01If Ben Stiller picked the Met Gala over Game 1 of the Knicks game,
01:04he may have to turn in his man card.
01:06As for Jenner and Chalamet,
01:07the pair have recently walked the red carpet together at events
01:10like this year's Vanity Fair Oscar party
01:12and the Oscar-nominated actor's Marty Supreme premiere.
