Ethan Hawke: Why I lost my spot on Knicks’ Celebrity Row

Ethan Hawke’s biting words against the Knicks cost him a spot on Celebrity Row.

Appearing on “The Bill Simmons Podcast” Monday, the “First Reformed” actor and longtime New York sports fan recalled how unfiltered comments about James Dolan’s team irked Madison Square Garden’s executive chairman to his core.

“I’ve been a Knicks fan for a long time, but I got kicked out of the Garden,” Hawke said. “They won’t give me tickets anymore. I was really vocal on some talk shows like this, that I thought it was a huge mistake to let [former Knicks coach] Mike D’Antoni go.
