\n\tHank Azaria<\/a> wasn\u2019t too happy that Taylor Swift<\/a> got courtside seats at Game 4 of the NBA<\/a> Finals.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring a recent appearance on The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz<\/a>, The Simpsons actor said that \u201cit was crazy in there celebritywise\u201d at the Wednesday night match between the New York Knicks<\/a> and the San Antonio Spurs. However, you \u201conly see the A+ list down at the bottom.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ll tell you the one that bothered me was Taylor Swift,\u201d Azaria admitted. \u201cI know she\u2019s the hugest thing in the world, but we had to sit with her all through the NFL (as the Grammy winner is engaged to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce) and now she\u2019s at the Garden. Come on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s not that I question why she\u2019d get the seat. I\u2019m just tired of the whole Taylor sports\u2026\u201d he continued before adding that it\u2019s \u201cridiculous\u201d that she got three courtside seats as Alana and Este Haim were also with Swift<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAzaria, a longtime Knicks fan, went on to explain the challenging process for how celebrities score complimentary tickets to games at Madison Square Garden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou don\u2019t know from the Garden if you\u2019re going to get in until that day,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you\u2019re Ben Stiller<\/a> or Tracy Morgan, you know. I think Spike [Lee] actually pays for his tickets. So they don\u2019t let you know until day-of because there\u2019s such high demand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter not making the cut for complimentary tickets to Game 3, The Idol actor said he was able to get in for free to Game 4. However, Azaria thought it was \u201chorrible\u201d that his seats were in the arena\u2019s Cisco Suites, located within the upper bowl.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI know I\u2019m not courtside, but I think they\u2019ve [MSG] got me good seats. But we\u2019re way up in what they call the Cisco Suites, which are like the ceiling,\u201d he recalled, noting that other stars such as Quest Love, Rain Wilson, Ed Burns, Jeremy Strong, Aaron Judge and Christy Turlington were also in the same area. \u201cLike there\u2019s so many folks who want in that they\u2019ve stuck us all up in the rafters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCelebrities are scattered throughout the entire garden,\u201d Azaria added. \u201cYou only see the A+ list down at the bottom. Everybody else is like stuck wherever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite not receiving his ideal seats for the game, the actor said he was \u201cjust happy to be in there\u201d overall.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Knicks ultimately won Game 4, 107 to 106, following a 29-point comeback in the second half. Then on Saturday, during Game 5, they won their first NBA championship<\/a> in 53 years after beating the Spurs 94 to 90.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hank Azaria wasn\u2019t too happy that Taylor Swift got courtside seats at Game 4 of the NBA Finals.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1026583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,77,283558,283559,72164,12056,181702,8733,16,15],"class_list":["post-1026582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-hank-azaria","tag-knicks","tag-madison-square-garden","tag-nba","tag-new-york-knicks","tag-taylor-swift","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116749936108506530","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1026582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1026582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1026582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1026583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1026582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1026582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1026582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
