Hank Azaria wasn’t too happy about Taylor Swift getting courtside seats for Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
During his last appearance on Dan Le Batard Show with Stogotz, The Simpsons The actor said it was “crazy for celebrities” at Wednesday night’s game between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs. However, you “only see the A+ list at the bottom.”
“I’ll tell you, the person who bothered me was Taylor Swift,” Azaria admitted. “I know she’s the biggest thing in the world, but we’ve had to sit with her all through the NFL (the Grammy winner is engaged to Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs) and now she’s in the park. Let’s go.”
“It’s not that I’m wondering why she got the seat. I’m tired of the whole Taylor sports thing…” he continued before adding that it was “ridiculous” that she got three seats in the stadium when Alana and Estee Haim were also with Swift.
Azaria, a longtime Knicks fan, went on to explain the difficult process of how celebrities get free tickets to games at Madison Square Garden.
He said: “You do not know whether you will enter Paradise on that day.” “If you’re Ben Stiller or Tracy Morgan, you know. Think Spike [Lee] He actually pays for his tickets. So they don’t teach you even today because there is high demand.
After not getting your free tickets for Game 3, idol The actor said he was able to get into Game 4 for free. However, Azaria thought it was “terrible” that his seats were in the arena’s Cisco Suites, located inside the upper bowl.
“I know I’m not on the field, but I think they did it [MSG] Got me good seats. “But we got to what they called the Cisco Suites, which are like a ceiling,” he recalls, noting that other stars like Quest Love, Rain Wilson, Ed Burns, Jeremy Strong, Aaron Judge and Christy Turlington were also in the same area. “And there are so many people who want it they have us all in the rafters.”
“Celebrities are spread throughout the park,” Azaria added. “You only see the A+ list at the bottom. The others are stuck wherever.”
Despite not getting his ideal seats for the game, the actor said he was “just happy to be there” overall.
The Knicks eventually won Game 4 by a score of 107 to 106 after a 29-point comeback in the second half. Then on Saturday, during Game 5, they won their first NBA championship in 53 years by beating the Spurs 94 to 90.
