After a timeout with 5:04 left in the third quarter, the Knicks City Dancers performed at center court and then appeared to leave what appeared to be glitter on the floor, prompting help from celebrities like Chris Rock and David Harbour. “Always a lot of glitter at the World’s Most Famous Arena,” Walt “Clyde” Frazier quipped on the MSG Network broadcast. “They might be here awhile, Mike [Breen], the glitter is everywhere.” “Well, you don’t see this delay very often,” Breen, the play-by-play man chipped in.

Smith isn’t just about late-night television dreams. Among his latest endeavors are acting classes this summer. In addition to his recurring role on the daytime soap opera “General Hospital” as Brick, a surveillance expert for the mob, he has made a couple of film cameos, including “I Think I Love My Wife,” directed by Chris Rock in 2007. “I am going to take (acting) more seriously, because one of the things that I’ve learned to love is you can be whatever the role calls you to be,” Smith said. “You don’t have to be subjected to society’s norms, restrictions and things of that nature. You can be whatever the role calls you to be.” Smith finds himself being recognized in public as Brick by soap opera fans. That’s a sign he’s gaining an audience more about entertainment than a sports scene. “I get stopped in every city in the country because they call me Brick,” Smith said. “I’ve got women — White, Black, old, young — all over the place screaming ‘Brick’ because they notice me from ‘General Hospital.’”
“They put me courtside! And the Black players won’t come over and say hello to me,” Stern said. “But they go over to Spike Lee.” “They don’t acknowledge you at all?” Quivers asked. “No. I’ll be sitting next to Tracy Morgan or Chris Rock. You know, they seat you where they seat you. And a lot of times when I’m there, I’m next to Tracy Morgan, who is so funny. And he’s sitting there and like, a couple of the players will come over. They like give him that bro shake and stuff. And I’m like — these guys should hug me too,” Stern continued. “I mean, what am I? I grew up in a Black neighborhood, you know what I mean? I mean they should know that. But I get ignored.”
Radio shock jock Howard Stern said that “black players won’t come over and say hello to me” when he’s sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden for Knicks games. Stern said that the players prefer to “go over to Spike Lee” and other black celebrities that he sits next to, including Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan. “The Knicks have been very kind to me. They put me right in the front row,” Stern said during Monday’s broadcast of his SiriusXM program “The Howard Stern Show.” His comments were reported by the news site Mediaite.

Chris Rock stands with the medical community in supporting as many people as possible rolling up their sleeves to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. On Wednesday, he spoke out on the subject while at the mic, opening for the Strokes at the venue Brooklyn Steel. He also called out one unvaccinated person in particular: Kyrie Irving, a point guard for the NBA's Brooklyn Nets, who has refused to comply with New York City's vaccine mandate that professional athletes be vaccinated to practice or play in public venues. "Where's my anti-vaxxers at? Where you at?" the former Saturday Night Live star said. "You f****** dumb Kyrie motherf******."

Chris Rock: These pros ain't loyal.
Comedian Chris Rock in a birthday video message to Mark Jackson joked about how the Warriors are playing better now that the race of the head coach is different. “I know what you’re thinking,” Rock said before starting to joke. “You watch the games, and you go, ‘Oh so now Steph Curry’s going to play defense for the white man. Couldn’t play it for the brother. Now he’s like Dennis Rodman.’ “Couldn’t do it for you. Yeah, everybody’s boxing out now. Couldn’t do it for a black man. Ooh, they play some defense for the white man, don’t they? Ooh, they play some good defense for the white man.”
