Actor Steve Schrippa, famous for his role as Bobby Baccalieri on ‘The Sopranos,’ has joined the ongoing feud between the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers. The tension arose when Kelly Oubre Jr. of the 76ers criticized the Madison Square Garden’s courtside spectators, suggesting that celebrities present wouldn’t care about the game.

Schrippa, a regular on celebrity row at MSG, strongly refuted Oubre’s remarks, asserting that the front-row fans, including Tracy Morgan, Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, and others, are genuine basketball enthusiasts who are deeply invested in the games. He emphasized that these celebrities have a profound knowledge of basketball, contrary to Oubre’s assumptions.

MSG’s high-profile attendees witnessed thrilling victories by the Knicks in the series against the 76ers, notably an exhilarating Game 2. The clash between the two teams has not only ignited on the court but has also sparked a debate among celebrity fans, highlighting the passion and dedication of the Knicks’ supporters.
