14 years ago then-Knicks rookie Landry Fields orchestrated a trivia game, where he told his fans to meet him somewhere in New York City for a contest.

On November 2, 2010, Fields posted on Twitter:
"Me & @andyrautins1 (Andy Rautins) will be in the city tonight (starting at 5). The first person to find us and answer our trivia questions wins two tix!"
The interesting part about all of this is who the winner was... French-American actor Timothée Chalamet.
The contest where Timothée Chalamet won tickets from then-Knicks rookies Landry Fields and Andy Rautins was a showcase of elite ball knowledge, of course https://t.co/jYQtxvbAPp pic.twitter.com/Xx7gVN0YZz

Ultimately, Fields announced that they already had a winner just a couple hours later, which turned out to be "Tim Chalamet," who was 14 years old at the time.

For answering the trivia questions correctly, the now Oscar-award-winning actor won two tickets to watch the 2010-11 Knicks play.
In view of the game he attended at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks won 112-91 vs. the Wizards; Fields had five points, three rebounds, and one assist.
That is to say, just last week Chalamet also made headlines when he appeared on College GameDay.
And many were surprised when the 28-year-old hollywood star showcased his sports knowledge, as Chalamet gave an in-depth overview of the research he had on the teams before making his picks.

What really stood out was how good Chalamet's picks actually were, compared to the other football gurus on the panel, such as Nick Saban.
For example, Chalamet was the only who predicted that Ohio University would win vs. Miami OH, and the Bobcats actually defeated the RedHawks 38-3.
