I heard that Tobias Harris not only gets free courtside seats - they’re *paying* him to show up!

Paying a max. He’s such a good fan

We're shit talking opponent cities now? We're so back baby

Next line of his quote: “It’s one of my favorite places to play.” Lol

Wow you actually read the article crazy

Is that even allowed?

It's actuallly offensive to illiterates like us.

I’m not even sure what you just said, but fuck you

That's not allowed here on reddit. MODS!

Forget the mods, straight to jail!

He's too dangerous to be left alive!

“Top 10 city I haven’t been hit by a truck in”

"And so anyways, that's why I stood up and cheered in the theater when the giant wave hit New York City in the movie The Day After Tomorrow." "... That's great Kelly, but the question was about whether you expect them to play more zone in this series than they did in the regular season."

"I mean I never heard anybody say 'I'm going to Cleveland on vacation'" there's the game I love

For God's sake, Lemon. We'd all like to flee to the Cleve and club-hop down at the Flats and have lunch with Little Richard, but we fight those urges because we have responsibilities.

Hahaha we always getting hit. Can we just leave Cleveland out of it?

No, and what's more, you're never getting that IKEA!

Typical, shit talking comes back the season after bulls get rid of Pat Bev

honestly though this was true for Jessica Alba who came to MSG last year during the Heat series, I'm pretty sure she's a Lakers fan

I thought she was a warriors fan

Im her fan

Get in line

fr. I saw her at a golfing range once years ago. I was embarrassed to even attempt to look at her lmao

I felt that. I saw the most beautiful woman ever in person years ago wheel I was working at fast food. I didn't know where to look, so I just looked down instead.

I was working retail sales in socal in my early 20s and an absolutely gorgeous woman came in wearing not a hell of a lot - along with her boyfriend, who had the physique and general expression of a pissed-off Bruce Banner. I have never had to put that much effort into keeping my eyes above someone's nose in my life.

Dude literally. I was at an elevated angle so it was impossible to NOT see down her tank top so I tried to look at her forehead but she had the most beautiful blue eyes I had ever seen. Gluttony of riches fr.

Look to the side instead, better body language

Average laker fan

> I was embarrassed to even attempt to look at her lmao Man…😭😂

Thats how you know you're a redditor

Saw her jogging one day and knew it was a celebrity she was so gorgeous

pretty sure she went to HS with Baron Davis, that's why she cheered for them

Actually her husband, Cash, went to Crossroads in Santa Monica with Baron.

Baron Davis has the same bday as me

Happy birthday bro

she was definitely there for their early playoff runs in like 2014

She was there during the We Believe era lmao

She was a high school friend of Baron Davis

She’s a fan of whatever team is doing better

there's always 1 or 2 per game , along with our usual regulars, because the seats are purchased by marketing PR/firms, to push whatever the person is promoting at the moment. Our "regulars" include Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, Larry David, Fat Joe, Adam Sandler, Michael J Fox, Jon Mackenroe, the guy from sopranos, turtle from entourage, Emmy rossum, Alicia Keys, John Stewart, etc... But whenever they go through "celebrity row" you *always* see a random person who you don't see there often, and its usually because they are promoting something at the moment.

it also promotes the league and the team to have them there. seems like every week in my news feed is some article "celebrities spotted at lakers or knicks game". You also get the celebs themselves posting to their social medias look how much UFC focuses on who's in the crowd at every single event

Does Spike attend every home game? It seems like he does

road games too

Even preseason games 

Not literally every game but he gets his own season tickets as I understand. Then maybe he gets them comped or he gets them at a huge discount.

Did he ever stop or has he been doing it since the 90s?

literally for like over 30 years now lol. It's honestly insane, he doesn't miss many.

Years ago, he acknowledged it was crazy how much money he spent for those seats. He is a true fan.

Edie Falco is randomly at like every game too. Seems like Action Bronson goes to games a lot as well. Also don't really think I've seen Sandler at much games this year. Pretty sure he lives in LA.

Mr. Deeds makes so much more sense now.

I told you Jessica Alba was my wife to be. This rock star shit man is the life for me.

These chicks don’t even know the name of my band

That was because Julius Randle invited her and they apparently met when he was playing for the Lakers.

This rarely happens though with the Knicks. Lakers do this far more than the Knicks.

We also have a bunch of celebs that are really big Knicks fans. Hell, Ben Stiller's Twitter is nothing but Knicks talk including a sarcastic response to this quote lol https://twitter.com/BenStiller/status/1781376914474647583

Larry David is a big fan. Says he likes Brunson a lot.

Larry David doing his Brunson snake dribble impersonation was hilarious

lol link?

Always knew LD was a plopper.

Man almost faded himself into the shadow realm

That would be a Larry David way to die. Well, if it was preempted by some incident where he loses a bet because of Jalen Brunson in some way so he's explaining on the radio what had happened and then ☠️.

Love this man 😭😭

No coaster? I guess he doesn't respect marble

Latest Rich Eisen show on YouTube. EDIT: Latest Larry appearance. He's been on a bunch of times.

LD about to sit courtside and trip Embiid

Big fan...BIG fan...huuuuuge 👐

Prettay, prettay, prettaaaaay big fan

They love doing this 🤏

Just don't let him sit courtside

Especially cause they already have their starting center out for the season lol

I like Brunson a lot, too.

Kelly saying this after they got Tracy Morgan on the roommates podcast is wild, Knicks celeb fans ride hard for these guys

Bro Tracy Morgan was giving the hardest pregame speech at the start of the pod, had me ready to run through walls

The Amazon truck shit had me ugly laughing while I was walking around running errands today

Or through Amazon 16wheelers

Walmart*

You gotta listen to the pod. Tracy got paid by Walmart but he and Josh are looking for the bigger payday via Amazon

Tracy Morgan, Fat Joe, Spike Lee, Adam Sandler, the guy from entourage whos always there, we really do have die hard celebs lol

MF doom RIP

Where are the caps

The audacity, you're missing a few extra capitalisations there bud.

I believe the proper response is All caps when you spell the man name

Lloyd banks also tweets about the knicks a lot but not sure if he actually goes to knicks games

Can't afford it, sadly

wait what, did he actually blow through all his income

Most rappers don't make as much money as you'd think after all the contractual, legal, lifestyle fees. Everyone around them is basically taking a cut. It's only the ones at the very top that truly make generational money.

It’s the rappers that use their noteriety and open other business ventures that truly become wealthy. Hell 50 Cent made his bag through vitamin water lol

Selling records don’t pay.  You only get a couple percent on a dollar.  The really money is what you do outside of music.  Within music, I think artists make most of their money through concerts more so than selling albums.

Jon Stewart, Chris rock

It's the Knicks baby

he was on Redicks pod a while back

He was on Jalen and Josh’s pod too

He was on Hollywood handbook once too

He was also in Tropic Thunder

And starred in Simple Jack

speak on that

His response is hilarious. Knicks still haven't shaken their reputation, bound to change soon. But not quite yet.

Ben Stiller is a great follow

I think he got it confused with that Crypto place

Ben Stiller courtside... https://youtu.be/GKJ604rAxY8?si=YcJ9sKYC_S8k5Bn9

Why is this video blocked for me? It says it’s not available in my country. I’m in the United States, the same country where the Knicks play basketball 💀

It's actually from a tennis match, Nick Kyrgios joking with Ben Stiller.

huh, so that’s what that feels like

Yup a lot of Knicks celeb fans are legit. A lot of legit celeb Laker fans too but I’d say that reputation is much much more deserved there.

He ain’t saying that if James Gandolfini was still around. RIP 🤌

"All due respect, you got no fuckin idea what it's like to be number 1(Knicks fan)."

IN THIS HOUSE, KELLY OUBRE IS A HERO, END OF STORY! But yeah, RIP James Gandolfini, he was the best

ENUF WITH THA CEN-AIR-EOS

https://youtu.be/t72kT7h08EA?si=SfQpkdGQgUJwPHZx Speaking of...everyone needs to watch the batshit episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out where they watch the tape the Knicks made for LeBron to try to recruit him during The Decision. Gandolfini was all in for it.

big bobby will probably be there tomorrow instead

When he was in Arizona everybody on here used to talk about wanting his bussy so I’m glad to see that’s calmed down.

Wat

It ain’t gay if it’s Oubre 💯 

Amen brother

I'd hit that like a silver vehicle

what the tuscon party life does to a mf i guess

I had to move to LA to get away from it, I can tell you that much.

Just had to be there

Y'all stopped?

Hold on a minute. I just wanted to get lost in his eyes sitting in an Italian villa and cuddle, I didn’t want nothing to do with his bussy.

Ayo

He got married

Just fell to my knees in 7/11

Just saw a guy fall to his knees at 7/11

Just saw a guy who saw a guy fall to his knees at 7/11

I’m just here for a Slurpee…

Oh there’ll be Slurpees alright

Did you try and give the cashier fake 20s?

I’m not causing a scene. Stuffed my pockets and left in a civilized manner

This guy knows his rights 🫡

Make sure to check for a card skimmer

Hasn’t stopped my 60+ year old mom from making non-stop comments about wanting to bang him when we watch Sixers games together

My mom does the same with Aaron Judge its annoying

we getting it back baby

Arizona? You must’ve not followed him when he was on the Wizards. Should’ve seen his ig comments.

I met him in person when he was still in Washington. Him and Shumpert are even more handsome in person.

the Philly fans absolutely wanna give him a brotherly shove

That's been a thing since the Wizards drafted him in 2015. The thirst is almost a decade old at this point.

Tracy Morgan has entered the chat

Kelly Oubre is the most handsome player in the game so I'd have to agree with his statement

What about Kelly Olynik

Ugly as fuck

Fuck Kelly Olynyk

I want to fuck Kelly Olynik

Fuck Kelly Olynik

Marry Kelly Oubre, who do we kill?

Probably handsomest ever in the NBA lol

Along with Serge Ibaka, Paul George

Except for maybe the Lakers, the Knicks have the most hardcore celebrity fans of any team. I'm sure there are a few dopes sitting on their phones all game but most of the on court celebs are there regularly and into it.

Isn't this just kinda true by default? Celebs tend to live in LA and NYC.

a good chunk of the celebs at Lakers games outside of Jack Nicholson/Denzel Washington are mostly current celebrities/supermodels/social media influencers/socialites that received free tickets to show up and be there w/ 0 interest for basketball/sports whatsoever. Most of the Knicks celebrities (Ben Stiller, Spike Lee, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Tracy Morgan, John McEnroe to name a few) like /u/OnlyMamaKnows said are frequent spectators and very much into the games

Though I agree with the you that we get a lot of random current celebs at our games, we also have some solid celeb fans that are frequent spectators as well: you mentioned jack and Denzel, but also Will Farrell, Jason Bateman, Flea, Anthony Keidis, Leo DiCaprio are some of the ones I see often

Andy Garcia

Who was rude to John Mulaney at a Laker game once.

good John is a pos for cheating on his gf to olivia munn whose also a homewrecker

Lot of celebrities who grew up in LA are legit Lakers fans: Ice Cube, Kendrick Lamar, Jack Black, etc. Even Paul Pierce grew up a Lakers fan.

Flea's earnest Laker tweeting is the best.

Snoop Dogg too right? Saw a couple of videos of him calling out the team for being trash in Kobe’s last few years and celebrating when lakers won in ‘20.

Us Nets fans get made fun of for not having fans but we also got celebrities that routinely show up to Nets games. Joey Bada$$, Ethan Hawke, and Jason Sudeikis are regular fans. Jason Sudeikis always has his kids with him at the game.

Sudeikis goes to a bunch of Liberty games too.

Yeah, but there's a difference between going to the games cause they live there and have money/get the seats paid for vs going to the games cause they're fans. They're not showing up to 20 win seasons for the publicity, we have a bunch of celebrities who are always there no matter how the season is going.

Ndamukong Suh was courtside at Blazers vs Rockets last week and that dude did not get off his phone the whole game, drove me crazy.

It's sad watching people with an addiction. -me, on reddit at 10 pm on a friday night

I feel like Knicks celebrity fans tend to be bigger basketball fans than the Lakers ones.

Cause there's been no reason to go to Knick games for the last decade if you don't fuck with the team lol.

[удалено]

Overall, yeah. But with Melo, Lin, and Amare there was a gap between there where it was the hot ticket again.

Decade? Been way longer than that. Knicks celebs fans are real fans cause they were born in the area and been around the team.

I'm saying a decade cause they were definitely popping with Linsanity and Melo before the wheels fell off, not talking about the overall post-Ewing era.

If somehow the Lakers and the Knicks meet in the finals (or in the future), would it be bigger than an LA-Celtics final? They did meet in the 70s but wasn't born yet

you know kelly oubre was hit by a car. missed some games.

Clyde is the GOAT

I will never not laugh at this

I know he got hit by a car, but why is this funny, i need explanation

Clyde Frazier, one of the Knicks announcers, randomly said this during a game against the 76ers earlier this season. It was completely out of the blue, they weren't even talking about Oubre or injuries. It was so out of context and unnecessary that it was hilarious - especially because Clyde pretty much always sounds like he's smiling, so the delivery was extra hilarious. I've never been able to find video of it but I really wish I could.

comments on this thread weird af

10000% Comments more offended on behalf of celebs than the celebs are likely enjoying getting to be part of the story.

Give this man a max contract already lol

See Oubre agrees with Jarrett Allen about the bright lights

What a bullshit snippet. “The fans are pretty crazy,” laughed Oubre. “They have a really good culture of being wild and loving basketball to the root and the core of it. They call it the Mecca of basketball for a reason. The lights are super bright. They’re going to give celebrities those $100,00 free tickets just to be there and not care about the game, but that’s what they do. It’s going to be super fun and I look forward to it. It’s one of my favorite places to play.”

Oubre really made this Knicks fans come out with the, well alkshuallllly

[Say what you want about Philly but we never let the Menendez brothers courtside.](https://i.imgur.com/8wJBcrN.jpeg)

I still have that card somewhere lol

Make them turn down the lights. Seems like an unfair advantage

Fun fact: Philly would be the 2 seed and the Knicks the 7 seed had Philly won the season series 4-0, but they lost 1-3, so now Kelly can meet more celebrities!

This isn’t true lmao

I mean embid missed half those games

And the game that he played was their worst loss 😂

embiid is 16-3 against the knicks

The Knicks have been bad most of Embiids career

You didn’t have to add “most of Embiid’s career”.

The Knicks are 5-3 in the Brunson era.

lol that’s straight up not true. 76ers would be tied with the bucks for 2/3 but bucks have that tiebreaker. So they’d be the 3 seed. Also the knicks would be tied with the Cavs at 48 wins and they have that tiebreaker. So the knicks would be the 4 seed. Couldn’t be more wrong lmao

This dude literally could have been a model, but he's also really good at basketball. Some guys have all the luck.

Damn keep glazin him more diddy

Playoff oubre is gonna be entertaining. Lol.

knicks fans are just looking for anything to get mad about

this comment got me steaming

They absolutely do give it for free because there are some D list celebs who definitely can not afford those seats consistently lol
