The Friday night game against the Denver Nuggets turned out to be great for the New York Knicks. After defeating the Los Angeles Lakers and the Portland Trail Blazers, the Knicks took on Nikola Jokic’s Nuggets only to claim victory over them. Having won 42 games to date, the team has shown great consistency and fight which have troubled the franchise in the previous seasons. While the Knicks got their flowers for their victory, it was Jason Sudeikis who ended up impressing the MSG attendees with a surprising feat.

Despite being the top contender in the Western Conference, the Denver Nuggets fell short of the Knicks, who defeated them 116-110. 26-year-old Knicks star Jalen Brunson led his team to victory by dropping 24 points with the help of Julius Randle, who added 20 points and seven rebounds.

It seems like Sudeikis has a soft spot for the sport, given that he was a fairly good player himself when he was a college student. The Golden Globe Award recipient had gotten into the Fort Scott Community College on a basketball scholarship.

Sudeikis impressed NBA fans

As fans stumbled upon the video, they were quick to point out his impressive wrist movement. One fan compared him to the celebs who played at the All-Star game and wrote, “Yo ted has a nice form. Better than any of them celeb all star game.”
