Ben Stiller brutally roasts 76ers’ Kelly Oubre Jr. amid Knicks’ celebrity row beef
NY Post
Ben Stiller is not an Average Joe, and he wasn’t going to stand for a 76ers star calling out the Knicks and Madison Square Garden’s celebrity row in silence.
On Friday, a day before the Knicks and 76ers were set to do battle in the first round of the NBA playoffs, Kelly Oubre Jr. spoke about the incredible crowd at The Garden, but he took a not-so-subtle shot at the way A-listers are treated at The World’s Most Famous Arena.
“They’re gonna give celebrities those $100,000 [worth of] free tickets just to be there and not care about the game,” Oubre said. “That’s what they do.”
Well, Stiller, an avid and vocal Knicks fan, waded into the conversation with a sarcastic reply on Friday before taking an actual shot at Oubre on Saturday.
Stiller invoked the voice of one of his most iconic characters, White Goodman, from the 2004 comedy flick “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.”
“Oh I think I care a lot more than you think that you thought I cared…” Stiller wrote on X “Kelly Who-bre?”
