    Ben Stiller feuds with NBA analyst Richard Jefferson over Joel Embiid

    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.'

    Richard Jefferson hilariously channels Kendrick Lamar in describing Warriors' issues

    Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are currently gearing up for what they hope is more than a one day voyage into the NBA postseason, which is slated to begin with the Play-In round later this month. The Warriors have picked up the pace a little bit in recent weeks and recently clinched their spot in the Play-In tournament, but that distinction is not exactly a great accomplishment for a team with a plethora of championship experience and with Curry still playing at an All-NBA level at age 36. Curry has indeed had to carry an immense workload this season for a Warriors team that has seen Draymond Green give into his intrusive thoughts way too often and Klay Thompson fall off of a cliff in terms of his efficiency and production. Recently, former Warriors star and NBA champion Richard Jefferson channeled a recent Metro Boomin song, Like That, featuring Kendrick Lamar in describing just how much of the heavy lifting Stephen Curry has had to do for Golden State this year.
