Hank, is it wrong for me to say I look at Ben Stiller now differently? I kind of lost respect for him because he just seems to be such a regular ass Nick fan. He's like all the people I grew up with. And I'm like, I wanted something more. I wanted a mystique around him. I want him to be cool courtside. I said he's jumping up with like the hype team in the tunnel.

So I'm like, what are you doing, man? I can't. I just don't have the same kind of pedestal for Ben Stiller that I once had.

Official. Revoked. So who replaces him? No, no, it's open. Tracy Morgan's up there. Ben's up there because he's like a regular-ass Knick fan, and it really kind of disappoints me, but that is a pretty big fan.

Yeah, so I look at McEnroe. McEnroe is like, that's how you do it. I'm a celebrity who loves the Knicks. I'm New York, I'm cool, right? Ben is just a little, like I said, I have a good friend of mine, he's a music producer named Elite, and he's exactly like Ben Stiller. It's almost like a child watching a child watch the Knicks, and I'm like, guys, come on, grow up a little bit.

I'll tell you someone who wouldn't be jumping around courtside, Hank Azaria. You'd be cool courtside, wouldn't you?

I'll tell you someone who wouldn't be jumping around courtside, Hank Azaria. You'd be cool courtside, wouldn't you?

Why not Leroy? But Hank, I guess my point is you would carry yours even as excited as you were. Even if you were jumping, it would be like a cool jump. It was like Ben jumped like a child. Like, yeah, guys.

Well, Goldilocks, I want someone who's there and projects a level of cool, right? Like you're there, you're passionate. Chalamet, like his resume is short, but in that short amount of time, what a star in that role. No, no, I'm not talking about his acting resume. I'm talking about his Knicks resume. His Knicks fan resume is short at this point, but he is spectacular, much like his acting resume.

I think, like I said, McEnroe, he's got it. Tracy Morgan's got it. You ever seen Dune 2?

I mean, I have. And also, by the way, it's not just this stuff. I follow him on Twitter, and some of the stuff he does on Twitter is like, again, it reminds me of my friends. And it's like, I don't want Ben Stiller to be like my friends. I want him to be something greater than my friends. If anything, I think too highly of him. How about that? Wow, you're turning into a compliment now.

Well, when I present the facts, they'd be like, wait a second. It's not like he missed it to go, because he was on set filming Do the Right Thing 2. We would be like, all right, you know, got to work. You got to do your thing. This part's egregious. He missed it for the metric.

Oh, like what? So a bunch of people dress up all funny-like? That's more important than watching the Knicks?

Apparently the way to act is to jump up and down like a six-year-old.

Because if you don't find that, they're going to give you a reason to really be worried. That's the problem. I see. Disaster lurks right around the corner. You just have to keep hope alive for long enough.

Hank, a little switching of gears here. I know you're a big Star Wars fan. You and I did a Star Wars podcast.

Season two is excellent. I was wondering, I'll ask you this question based off of season one. There's some people who don't like adult Star Wars. How do you feel about trying to break through to people that, hey, not everything has to be, oh, I don't know, for a six-year-old?

Well, there are some risque storylines, including the opening scene of season one. He walks into a brothel.

I don't think Tatum was the threat that they worried about. I think Minnesota looked like they're going to win that series. They're up 3-1. They pose a problem because they're an incredible defense as well. And then they have that kind of stellar type of defense.

Supernova in Anthony Edwards, and he's, I mean, if you watch the second half of that game, game four, he firmly took control of that series and said, look, I'm the best player here, and there's nothing you guys can do about it, so I don't think Oklahoma City breathes a sigh of relief after they get past Denver.

I think they still have to worry about Minnesota, probably, and then, hey, you know what? This is the question, actually, I said this to Mike last night. The Pacers, now they're in the conference finals two years in a row. Regardless of whether they win or lose, how does history remember these guys? Because at this point, it's not a fluke. It's not a hot run.

They've done it two years in a row, and they've done it pretty much the same way. Tough, physical defense, smart play, and Tyrese Halliburton has been sensational.

It's the NBA Cup now. Last year, though, it was IST. But to the point, right? If they make it to the finals, the Pacers, which is a very reality now, which, by the way, Pacers-Thunder finals... Someone's shitting bricks.
