A new element has been added to the NBA Playoffs. On the other hand, there’s someone so outrageously photogenic that years ago he might have convincingly played the role of a male model. On the other side we have Ben Stiller. That’s right, he’s currently competing with Kelly Oubre for the latter position. sixers Get ready to play against the Steelers knicks in the first round.
How did this all start? A recent clip of a post-practice interview Oubre gave with the media, where he of course praised Knicks fans, but then went full heel and offered free tickets to celebrities. To further the appeal of the so-called basketball mecca that endeared itself to Philadelphia fans by criticizing New York’s tendency to give:
Kelly Oubre is excited about the opportunity to play at Madison Square Garden and praises the fans’ appreciation for the basketball culture.

When broadcast journalist Alan Hearn Mr. Stiller asked.probably the most avid celebrity Knicks fan online — seriously, go see it on his twitter feedhe Just like we’re all obsessed with Playing against our favorite team — in response to the role of villainous White Goodman he played on “Dodgeball,” Stiller accepted the challenge ahead of Game 1.
The first time Oubre shot below 30% from the field this series, his nickname would become Triple Platinum, but Oubre’s reaction when hero and journalist Taryn Hatcher asked if he had seen Stiller’s tweet. could have been even better.
And Mr. Stiller may want to be careful here. Oubre has shown himself to be particularly willing to address various beefs throughout his career. Most recently, the Sixers starter made headlines. he was fined $50,000 It’s true that he criticizes the pedigree of all hosts, but he also has a more subtle side. In 2018, for example, he untied Rodney Hood’s shoelaces during a game.
What I’m saying is that you should warn Stiller. If Kelly comes up to you and tries to get along or joke around before the game…check her shoes after the game to avoid tripping.
We’ll see if this feud escalates when the Sixers take on the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Saturday at 6 p.m. ET, but even if it doesn’t, more celebs will be watching Stiller’s I hope you follow suit and start a feud with a random roleplayer.
Will I get it for the rest of my life? lakers Courtside fan Dyan Cannon tells Michael Porter Jr. that his podcast sucks? Can the Timberwolves unban ARod from the arena and start playing Bol Bol? Does the Orlando Magic have any celebrity fans who can call Dean Wade a coward for letting the Cavaliers sneak into the No. 4 seed?
The possibilities are endless. I hope Mr. Stiller started a trend that we can all enjoy.
