SGA: I wouldn't disrespect them like that, nah. Fallon: Really, no? SGA: Just like how they can't come on the basketball court, I can't go on the football field. Fallon: You can't go on there. SGA: Just stay in our lanes. Fallon: But growing up, did you play football? SGA: I did a little bit, yeah. I quit very quickly. Fallon: OK. SGA: I-- like, I played running back, so I got hit a lot. And I, like, fell on the ball when I got tackled a couple times.

Shaquille O'Neal never passes up a chance to slam Barkley. O'Neal recently appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon to explain why he spends much as $1,000 on monthly pedicures. His reasoning involved a Barkley reference. "Because I feel sorry for the young lady that's doing my feet," O'Neal said. "My feet look like Charles Barkley's face."

Jimmy Fallon: Now, when you hear these (trade) rumors, what goes through your mind? Chris Paul: Man, I'm going into year 16, right? So I've heard about every rumor that you could possibly hear. So you learn to control what you can control. I'm training getting ready for the season. If something happens, it will. If not, you know, I love being in Oklahoma with our team. We actually just got a new coach yesterday. So, you know, the league is always constantly changing.

Other celebrities have had their privileges revoked by Dolan. A source told the Daily News that another director and longtime Garden presence, Woody Allen, was banned several years ago from Suite 200, which is a VIP club at MSG. Allen’s crime was refusing to do promotions for MSG, according to a source. If Allen still attends Knicks games, he’s no longer being showed on the MSG Network telecast. Actor Ethan Hawke said he stopped receiving free tickets because he criticized the Knicks’ handling of Jeremy Lin on “The Jimmy Fallon Show.” Actor Michael Rapaport also said his comped tickets were stripped because he supported Oakley.

Simmons: Linsanity was incredible. Hawke: It was absolutely incredible in the way that the organization didn't fan the flames and let Mike do what he wanted to do. Let these guys run. Let them play ball. And instead, Mike's on his way to the Western Conference Final. And, you know, the Garden's empty. But I have been left team-less. The point is that I'm not wanted and I don't go where I'm not wanted. It's hard to be a fan for a place that doesn't like you. Simmons: Well, one person doesn't like you. Hawke: One person who owns (the team) … I called up one night and they said it would be $7,800. I was like, "Oh, um, oh, why is this the first time you guys are charging me?" They said that you should have thought of that before you went on the Jimmy Fallon Show. I was like, "Wow, this is real." So I've apologized publicly many times to try and get my seats again.

"[Kristaps Porzingis] can shoot, he can make the right plays, he can defend, he's a 7-footer that can shoot all the way out to the 3-point line," Kevin Durant said in early 2016. "That's rare. And block shots-that's like a unicorn in this league." But the Knicks player admitted in an interview with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night, when he first heard it, he had no idea what in the world that meant. "At first I was a little confused. I was like, what is this?" he said. "A horse with a ponytail? What does it mean? But then they explained it to me. What he tried to say was that I am a unique player. It was nice to hear him say good things about me."
