Big praise for Timothee Chalamet from Amar'e Stoudemire -- the former New York star tells TMZ Sports the actor's been such a good Knicks fan, he's ready to dub him "the next Spike Lee!!!"

Before the New York Knicks face off again against the Boston Celtics tonight, the surest bet you could place in advance would be that Timothée Chalamet will be there: sitting courtside, hyping up his beloved team, and wearing some sort of charmingly slovenly ensemble.

Timothee Chalamet is a major fan of the New York Knicks, and so is Spike Lee, which means the two definitely had to get a picture in at MSG during Game 3.
