Noted New York Knicks fan Timothee Chalamet is getting quite the acclaim for his new ping pong movie, "Marty Supreme."
The movie had a bit of an NBA flare to it, even if it was easy to overlook.
There's a scene in the middle of the movie featuring a basketball game that includes the Harlem Globetrotters, and among the players on the court competing, there are two former NBA stars.
Many only realized once the credits came and the names popped on the screen that these cameos happened at all, but in retrospect, it's a pretty cool layer to the movie.

So in case you missed it altogether:
What NBA players were in 'Marty Supreme'?
The two players listed in the credits:
- Kemba Walker
- Tracy McGrady
Walker was one of the most exciting guards to come out of college in a long time after leading UConn to a national title, and he had a high-scoring NBA career.
McGrady is one of the most naturally talented players in the history of basketball, a big, strong forward with guard skills and a smooth scoring ability from anywhere on the floor.
Apparently they are looking for the next steps in their careers after their time in the NBA has ended, and this movie was a cool opportunity for them.

NBA players as Harlem Globetrotters
While Walker and McGrady got on the court with the Globetrotters in the movie, they aren't actually a part of the exciting barnstorming team.
Plenty of NBA players spent time with the Globetrotters for real, though.
Wilt Chamberlain was the most famous of these.
Connie Hawkins and Nat 'Sweetwater' Clifton played for the Globetrotters, too.
And both Walter Dukes and Woody Sauldsberry won NBA Rookie of the Year honors after previously playing for the Globetrotters.
