Kelly Oubre Jr. has stirred up some beef with the Madison Square Garden front row celebrities ahead of Game 1 at the storied venue.
Expect there to be some extra heat and boos from the celebs after Oubre said, “They’re gonna give celebrities those $100,000 [worth of] free tickets just to be there and not care about the game. That’s what they do.”
Granted, some celebrities attending the games do not known a thing about the NBA, but others do and they have taken note of what Oubre said.
New York hockey team, the Rangers, didn’t allow models Emily Ratajkowski and Irina Shayk more complimentary tickets after the pair left the Knick’s 100-98 comeback game early in November.
Celebs like that clearly don’t care about the game.
But Ben Stiller sure does.
The actor sarcastically responded to Oubre’s comments on X with, “Are the Knicks in the playoffs?”
Entourage actor Jerry Ferrara was another disgruntled celeb, who made multiple posts on X around what Oubre said.
His first post read, “Oh boy is this dude mistaken hahaha. I think this is code for “that place is gonna be the loudest place I’ve ever heard in my career.”
He added, “We show up and are loud when the team is bad. Can’t imagine many people showed up during the process.”
Ferrara continued, “To the Sixers players. Please please please keep doing your interviews and talking your shit. We all know you have a rich playoff history the last 10’years.”
His last comment was, “Oubre acting like he doesn’t love playing in front of famous people lol. To me. This dude knows the garden is gonna be wild.”
