New York Knicks fan Pete Davidson was sitting courtside near Jon Stewart when his team faced and defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday afternoon, 102-93.
The comedian was posing for selfies with fans as he left Madison Square Garden when an overzealous man in a Knicks cap appeared to be too close. A video showed the man getting closer and closer to Davidson, and the Staten Island native had enough.

Davidson pushed the man out of his personal space. The man got the point and the situation did not seem to escalate further.
The comedian has been at The Garden for the last two Knicks-Cavaliers games in Manhattan, as well as several other celebrities in the entertainment and sports industries.
