Stiller, 59, was among the stars sitting courtside at the fourth game of the Knicks-Pacers Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday, May 27 in Indianapolis cheering on the rival team, along with fellow Knicks diehards Timothée Chalamet and Spike Lee. At the beginning of the game, McAfee, 38 — who played for the Indianapolis Colts before his ESPN career — was given a microphone and delivered a NSFW message for fans while singling out Stiller, Chalamet and Lee. "Spike Lee is here. Ben Stiller is here. Timothée Chalamet is here," McAfee said to the arena, as the crowd booed each one. "Let's send these sons of b------ back to New York!"

Like we are 'big city celebs' and we shouldn't be there in the heartland? Again, everyone we met was awesome and incredibly cool." One user replied to Stiller and promised, "They were all affectionate boos I promise you." "I actually felt that," Stiller said back. The Night at the Museum star assured fans he wasn't feeling bitter about the remark from McAfee or the loss to the Pacers. "No bitterness at all Indy fans were amazing good win for you guys," Stiller wrote in a reply.

About Knicks-Pacers series In 2024, Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers came back from a 2-0 deficit to take down a hobbled Knicks club in the Eastern Conference Semifinals and win in seven games. One series later, they were swept by the mighty Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. Soon after, the Knicks bolstered their roster and added Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges to their roster. The pieces were finally in place for a deep playoff run. Over the course of the 2024-25 regular season, the new and improved Knicks met their rivals from Indy three times. New York took two of those contests, which gave them a one-game advantage heading into the playoffs. In case you missed it, they finished the year with a 51-31 record, snagging the No. 3 seed while the Pacers capped the season with 50 wins and the No. 4. Advertisement Following impressive series wins — the Knicks beat the fiery Pistons and dramatically took down the defending champion Boston Celtics in the second round — fans finally got the heated rematch they had been dreaming of all year long. Unfortunately, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for New York thus far. Games 1 and 2 at the Garden were both heartbreaking in different ways. In the first contest, they squandered a commanding lead; after that, Brunson and co. couldn't capitalize in game two. On the road, the Knicks came alive in game 3 and overcame a double-digit hole to steal a win on Indianapolis' home court. However, game 4 was a return to disappointing form for New York. Thibodeau's club did everything they could on Tuesday night but came up short once they fell behind in the first quarter, never fully recovered and lost 130-121.

Featured pricing is subject to change. And, just like that, the New York Knicks' backs are against the wall. After blowing a cushy 14-point lead with 2:45 in regulation, Jalen Brunson and co. ended up losing game one of the 2025 Eastern Conference Finals in overtime to the fiery Indiana Pacers by a score of 138-135 at NYC's rowdy Madison Square Garden. Tyrese Haliburton's two-pointer — which would have been a three but his Puma sneaker was on the line — that sent the game into overtime was the ultimate dagger. Throw in the fact that the All-Star guard replicated Reggie Miller's iconic 'choke' pose after making the improbable shot and the heated series is tenser than ever. Advertisement If you want to be there to see if the Knicks have what it takes to even the fierce series at home along with courtside celebs like Timotheé Chalamet, Jon Hamm, Busta Rhymes, Martha Stewart and Ben Stiller to name just a few, last-minute tickets are still available for game two at MSG on Friday, May 23.

One series later, they ended up getting swept the mighty Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. Advertisement This year, the rivals met three times during the regular season. To start 2024-25, the Knicks and Pacers met in the first game of the season on Oct. 25, 2024. After last year's crushing game seven loss, New York came in hot and notched a 123-98 win, outscoring Indiana 36-21 and 34-19 in the second and third quarters, respectively. Brunson scored 26 while KAT grabbed 15 boards. Their second matchup went Indiana's way when second-string shooting guard Bennedict Mathurin exploded for 38 points leading the Pacers to a convincing 132-121 victory on Nov. 10, 2024. Finally, on Feb. 11, the foes faced off in Indianapolis. The Knicks walked away with a statement 128-115 victory behind a 40-point effort from Karl-Anthony Towns and strong showings from backups Precious Achiuwa and Cam Payne. Advertisement Most recently, the clubs met in the aforementioned first game of the Eastern Conference Finals. New York and Indiana yo-yo'd back and forth throughout the first four quarters before the Knicks broke away with a commanding lead as time ticked away. Then, Indiana caught lightning in a bottle. For the next 2:50, Tyrese Haliburton and Andrew Nesmith chipped away at New York's advantage from behind the arc until they were down by two with seven seconds left. Haliburton took the ball up the floor, backpedaled to what he thought was the three-point line and threw up a prayer. The basketball bounced off the rim high above the backboard and…nothing but net. Overtime was close and the Knicks certainly had chances but both Brunson and Towns couldn't hit a three to tie the game and send the crazy contest into a second OT. Heartbreak hotel.

Boogie Cousins Says Cooper Flagg is Not No 1 Overall Pick
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Demarcus "Boogie" Cousins offered his take on who should be selected with the first pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and it was surprisingly not Duke product Cooper Flagg. According to Cousins, Rutgers star Ace Bailey should be the first name called on draft night, not Flagg, who, by all accounts, is the locked-in top selection. More NBA news: Knicks-Pacers Eastern Conference Finals Preview: What to Know While on FanDuel TV's show Run It Back, Cousins compared Bailey's game to that of an NBA legend. "I like Ace Bailey. To me, Ace Bailey is the number one pick. I think Ace Bailey is the number one overall pick. I think he is the closest thing to a Tracy McGrady," Cousins said. "But I don't see Nico... there is no way he keeps that pick. With everything he has already said on record as far as a window of wanting to win an NBA championship. It just does not logically make sense to me." Boogie Cousins says Ace Bailey should be the No. 1 pick over Cooper Flagg "He's the closest thing we've seen to Tracy McGrady." (🎥 @RunItBackFDTV ) — NBACentral (@TheDunkCentral) May 20, 2025 Coming out of high school, Bailey was the No. 2 recruit in the nation, second only to Flagg, and he managed to perform well during his first college season. Bailey averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists, with two turnovers and 2.8 fouls per game. He played a substantial number of minutes as a starter, averaging around 33.3 per game. Ace Bailey #4 of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights dunks the ball against the Northwestern Wildcats during the second half at Welsh-Ryan Arena on January 29, 2025 in Evanston, Illinois. Ace Bailey #4 of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights dunks the ball against the Northwestern Wildcats during the second half at Welsh-Ryan Arena on January 29, 2025 in Evanston, Illinois. Photo by/Getty Images His season was impressive enough to earn him All-Big Ten and Big Ten All-Freshman honors this past season, despite being relatively inefficient with a 46% shooting percentage from the field and 34.6% from 3-point range. For a college player, particularly a freshman, shot selection can be inconsistent, so his inefficiency may not be surprising. More NBA news: Giannis Antetokounmpo Makes Surprising Appearance at Google Event in San Francisco Bailey displayed flashes of high-level shot creation and shot-making, which is likely where Cousins sees the similarities between his game and McGrady's. McGrady was one of the best scorers in the league, capable of creating his own shot and attacking the basket at a high level. According to most NBA Draft experts, Bailey is ranked as the overall third prospect in the draft. Many place Flagg in a tier by himself, followed by Bailey's Rutgers teammate Dylan Harper in his own tier, and then Bailey in the third tier along with other prospects. More NBA news: Dwyane Wade Offers Blunt Reaction to Jimmy Butler's Playoff Run Flagg has been labeled as a future franchise cornerstone who can defend at a high level, create some offense for himself, and plays hard on every possession. Together, these qualities form a can't-miss prospect for many. He has been the consensus top prospect for months now, which makes Cousins' statement controversial for placing Bailey above Flagg.
