[Carlin] Kelly Oubre on playing at Madison Square Garden: “They call it the Mecca of basketball for a reason. The lights are super bright. They’re going to give celebrities those $100,000 free tickets just to be there and not care about the game, but that’s what they do.”

Kelly Oubre is the most handsome player in the game so I’d have to agree with his statement
This dude literally could have been a model, but he’s also really good at basketball. Some guys have all the luck.
Emduck will have a 30ft game this series and oubre will still find a way to throw the game
We also have a bunch of celebs that are really big Knicks fans. Hell, Ben Stiller’s Twitter is nothing but Knicks talk including a sarcastic response to this quote lol

Fuck him.
When he was in Arizona everybody on here used to talk about wanting his bussy so I’m glad to see that’s calmed down.
Let’s be real, there’s no reason why anyone should call it the mecca of basketball. Hasn’t been relevant in decades.
Except for maybe the Lakers, the Knicks have the most hardcore celebrity fans of any team. I’m sure there are a few dopes sitting on their phones all game but most of the on court celebs are there regularly and into it.
Fun fact: Philly would be the 2 seed and the Knicks the 7 seed had Philly won the season series 4-0, but they lost 1-3, so now Kelly can meet more celebrities!
you know kelly oubre was hit by a car. missed some games.
comments on this thread weird af

That’s more Staples Center/Crypto.com Arena than MSG imho but sure…
knicks fans are just looking for anything to get mad about
Shut up dude you got hit by a car
honestly though this was true for Jessica Alba who came to MSG last year during the Heat series, I’m pretty sure she’s a Lakers fan
What’s the reason?
This the dude who got hit by a car?
MY GOAT
At least NY has people that want those free tickets. Who can’t remember the last relevant person from Philadelphia that wasn’t the midget.
We’re shit talking opponent cities now? We’re so back baby
[Say what you want about Philly but we never let the Menendez brothers courtside.](https://i.imgur.com/8wJBcrN.jpeg)
I never understood why its the “mecca” though
Knicks haven’t been relevant for decades , and outside the 90s stint, that irrelevance goes back to the 70s – and the league has done nothing but grow exponentially , without NY playing a role
It can’t be media , location really doesn’t matter anymore in this era. Cable, internet – you can be accessible anywhere now.
If any place would be the “mecca” , wouldn’t it be LA?
Lakers have been consistently relevant and/or won
They’ve got the star power
……idk, i don’t get it. Then again, i don’t understand why people keep saying the NBA needs the Knicks to be good. History of the last 40 years has proven , the NBA hasn’t needed them at all.
It’s probably true that MSG is more of a myth than anything else. Outside of the Cavs last year, nobody has wilted under the “bright lights” in NYC in more than a decade.
Trae owned that building lol.
He ain’t saying that if James Gandolfini was still around. RIP 🤌
I heard that Tobias Harris not only gets free courtside seats – they’re *paying* him to show up!
Reminder this the guy that sucker punches others in scuffles.
Tracy Morgan has entered the chat
See Oubre agrees with Jarrett Allen about the bright lights
So random lol
