Basketball Hall of Famer and entrepreneur Carmelo Anthony weighed in on the New York Knicks’ historic championship win, the unifying power of sports and Timothée Chalamet‘s fervent fandom during a high-spirited conversation with Variety’s co-president and co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh at Cannes Lions.

The former Knicks player, who was speaking as part of Variety and Google TV’s Industry Innovators Cocktail Hour event on the rooftop of the Five Seas Hotel, reminisced about interviewing Chalamet on his “7PM in Brooklyn” podcast in December.
