Ben Stiller feuds with NBA player

Die-hard Knicks fan Ben Stiller didn't mince his words when he called out NBA player-turned-analyst Richard Jefferson in his latest social media rant. 

The actor criticized the ABC commentator in the middle of Game 4 of the Knicks' first-round series with the 76ers Sunday. 

'Richard Jefferson claiming [Joel] Embiid doesn't get calls, and doesn't foul,' Stiller wrote on X during the game, naming the 76ers center who was issued a foul for grabbing Mitchell Robinson's ankle in Game 3. 

Jefferson responded, 'Benjamin I love you but that's not what I said.' 

The Zoolander actor shot back, 'Respect Richard. But Embiid gets SO many calls. And the reference was to the one foul that Batum did commit.'

He also added that Embiid 'grabbed Mitch’s ankle and should have been ejected.'

The Knicks center was sidelined for Game 4 after sustaining an injury during the play, and Jefferson conceded that Embiid should have received a harsher punishment.

'I didn’t do that game but I agree with you,' the 17-year NBA veteran responded, before taking a sarcastic jab at the Meet the Parents star.

'Benjamin I love you but that's not what I said,' Jefferson said of the 76ers center

'So you were referencing when we THOUGHT it was on Embiid but the VIDEO and REFS showed in was on Batum and we corrected it and you were bothered by that?' he asked, alongside a GIF from Stiller's appearance in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

'Ps… he does get a lot of calls as reigning MVP's often do,' Jefferson concluded. 

Stiller, who is a staple of the Knicks' Celebrity Row, previously roasted 76ers star Kelly Oubre Jr. after he claimed the A-listers sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden don't 'care' about the team. 

'They're gonna give celebrities those $100,000 [worth of] free tickets just to be there and not care about the game,' Oubre said last week. 'That's what they do.'

Stiller sarcastically replied to Ourbe's statement on X, writing: 'Oh I think I care a lot more than you think that you thought I cared… Kelly Who-bre?'

The actor's hilarious response referenced his famous character, White Goodman, from the 2004 film Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.
