STAR SEARCH
Spike Lee couldn’t resist taking a pic on Brooklyn Avenue.
New Yorkers may say meh to celebrity spottings, but in San Antonio, big names are a far rarer sight. Megawatt stars came out to see the Spurs take on the Knicks on June 3. Here’s who we spotted at the Frost Bank Center and beyond.
Timothée Chalamet
The actor and Kylie Jenner dress-up doll was a little cocky after the game, posting an Instagram story of the Knicks celebration and another that simply read “3 More.” Whatever. He still doesn’t have an Oscar.
Tori Kelly
While we’re not sure that joggers ever need to be made in brown leather, the “Nobody Love” hitmaker made bombs burst in the air when she sang the National Anthem.
Paulina Chavez
Finally, a Spurs fan. The San Antonio native and Landman breakout has attended several games this season. This time, she was repping the orange in the Fiesta colors and posing with fitness trainer Wes Beans.
Danny Green
The former Spurs shooting guard popped into downtown’s Mi Tierra, where he surely dunked a few chips. Still, our piñata was only half-full to see Kawhi Leonard’s bestie. Now an analyst, he predicted a Knicks win.
Shane Gillis
Sure. He was wearing a t-shirt that paid homage to a well-worn Reddit joke.
Spike Lee
There’s probably no bigger Knicks fan than the director of He Got Game. Still, he ventured out into the San Antonio streets to take pictures with Spurs fans and pose under the Brooklyn Avenue street sign. Adorable.
Tracy Morgan
The SNL and 30 Rock funnyman was wearing what appeared to be Knicks scrubs. We love a practical king.
Ben Stiller
Unless your favorite team rhymes with “blunder,” Spurs fans aren’t haters. The Focker-in-Law star and Knicks diehard’s courtside dance was infectious.
John Turturro
The Severance star, who is no stranger to a jaunty chapeau, made a stop at Paris Hatters. He’s a Knicks fan, but we’ll give him a pass for supporting a local business.
Chris Tucker
It was difficult to tell exactly who the comedian was rooting for. While his black-and-white Jackson Pollack-esque polo seemed to indicate a Spurs fandom, he was judicious in an after-game interview.
Pete Davidson
Although they share a former employer, Ariana Grande’s ex-boyfriend did not hang out with Tracey Morgan. Instead, he was tucked away in one of the suites, according to the New York Post.
Various Spurs legends
It was all in the family with Pop, George Hill, Jaren Jackson Sr., and two-thirds of the Big Three: Tim Duncan and Manu Ginóbili. Tony Parker was not in attendance, which is maybe why he can’t sell his San Antonio mansion.
And, uhm, the Scarlotta Twins
The Staten Island twins, who went viral thanks to Netflix’s The Circle, were having a grand ole time in San Antonio.
