- Kate Hudson posted a throwback photo of herself and Matthew McConaughey at a Knicks game in *How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days*.

- The post coincided with the Knicks' first NBA Finals appearance since 1999.

- Spike Lee, Timothée Chalamet, Ben Stiller, and more celebrities traveled to San Antonio to cheer on New York.

Kate Hudson is celebrating the New York Knicks' first NBA Finals victory in 27 years.

The *Song Sung Blue* actress posted a pair of throwback photos of herself and Matthew McConaughey at a Knicks game from a key scene in their 2003 rom-com *How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days*.

"Déjà vu," Hudson wrote in her caption alongside a winking emoji.

McConaughey shared Hudson's post on his Instagram Stories without comment.

The first image in Hudson's post features McConaughey's character Benjamin grinning from the sidelines alongside Hudson's protagonist Andie. The second photo includes captions of dialogue from the scene, in which Benjamin exclaims, "Yeah, yeah!" as Andie asks, "Benny, can you go get me a soda?"

The scene epitomizes the premise of the film: Andie, who is secretly writing a how-to column about repelling men, intentionally tries to irritate and offend Benjamin to the point that he'll abandon her — in this case, she's purposely distracting her date from the most exciting moments of the game. McConaughey's character, on the other hand, is simultaneously trying to prove to his colleagues that he can make any woman fall in love with him.

The Knicks triumphed over the San Antonio Spurs, 105-95. The game marked New York's first Finals victory since the team last appeared in the championship series in 1999, which also saw them face off against the Spurs. San Antonio ultimately won that series four games to one, marking their first title in franchise history and kicking off an era of dynastic dominance that saw four more championship wins under the leadership of head coach Gregg Popovich and power forward Tim Duncan over the next 15 years.

The Knicks have only won two championships in the franchise's history, taking home the title in 1970 and 1973. The team has a massive cadre of high-profile celebrities cheering them on to win the franchise's first Finals in over half a century.

Among those spotted at Game 1 in San Antonio were lifelong Knicks superfan Spike Lee, ball-knower Timothée Chalamet, *30 Rock* alum Tracy Morgan, *Severance *colleagues Ben Stiller and John Turturro, and Knicks legend Patrick Ewing.

Stiller recently said he has oriented his entire spring schedule around the Knicks' Playoffs appearances, but was forced to miss one game in the Eastern Conference Semifinals due to a prior commitment at the Met Gala in early May.

However, Stiller still made an effort to support the team while trapped 50 blocks away at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. "I would say, 'Okay, we're gonna wear our Knicks colors, I'm gonna have my phone,'" he said. "You know, Anna Wintour doesn't like when people are watching their phones at the Met Gala, you know, she wants everybody's attention to be there, which I understand. I was watching the game, checking on it. But it was really, really tough."
