Pete Davidson, the renowned comedian and former Saturday Night Live cast member, attended the Knicks vs. Cavaliers basketball game at Madison Square Garden on Sunday afternoon.
The atmosphere at Madison Square Garden was electric as fans anticipated a thrilling match, and Davidson was among the celebrities present to enjoy the event.
The Knicks emerged victorious over the Cleveland Cavaliers with a final score of 102-93, taking a 3-1 lead in the playoff series. The win prompted joyous celebrations among Knicks fans, who were excited about their team potentially winning their first playoff series in ten years.
During the post-game festivities, an overenthusiastic fan wearing a pink shirt and a Knicks cap approached Davidson and started taking photographs. Seemingly feeling too comfortable, the fan grabbed Davidson, pulling him close as if they had been friends for years.
Twitter users captured the incident in a video showing Davidson looking visibly displeased by the fan’s intrusive behavior. The comedian firmly pushed the fan away, clearly communicating his discomfort with the unwarranted closeness.
After the brief altercation, the fan walked away, appearing disappointed by the outcome. Unfazed by the incident, Davidson continued taking pictures with other fans, who were more respectful of his personal space.
