The man is trying to do the impossible.
The 29-year-old accomplished actor, who is also a diehard New York Knicks fan, is looking to break the dreaded Kardashian curse.

Chalamet is dating Kylie Jenner, so history would suggest that the Indiana Pacers will prevail against Chalamet’s Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals.
That’s just what happens when you date a Jenner/Kardashian.
Your favorite sports team (or athlete) will ultimately lose in the end.
The Kardashian curse is a real thing.
Don’t believe us? Just ask Lamar Odom, Devin Booker, Ben Simmons, Blake Griffin, Reggie Bush… the list goes on and on.
Now, Chalamet isn’t on the Knicks himself, he is just a super fan, so that is the key difference.
Is the Kardashian curse powerful enough to take down the Knicks due to Chalamet’s proximity?
We’ll find out.
Of course correlation does not equal causation, but what fun would that be?

The Knicks are looking to end a 26-year NBA Finals drought.
The last time they made the finals was in 1999 during the magical run as the eighth seed.
Funnily enough, it was the Pacers whom the Knicks beat in six games in the ECF to advance to the finals.
They met again in the ECF the year after, with Indiana returning the favor, taking down New York in six.
Over two decades later, the two old rivals meet once again with a trip to the finals on the line.
Just four wins away for either team.

The play of superstar Jalen Brunson will dictate the Knicks’ fate far more than dating a Jenner or Kardashian ever will.
But it’s still fun to playfully include that when talking about the series.
Chalamet, along with Spike Lee and Ben Stiller, have become the off-court celebrity faces of the Knicks during this special run in the postseason.
Whether that ends with a trip to the finals or not remains to be seen.
We’re about to get the answer to the question everyone has been asking.
Is Chalamet stronger than the Kardashian curse?
So far, it seems so.
