The Superbad star, a longtime Lakers fan, was at a recent game when the producers of comedy show Curb Your Enthusiasm asked to switch seats with him to shoot a scene.

Hill graciously agreed, and when the shoot was finished and his seats vacated, he moved back, angering Coach Jackson.

Hill recalls, "I didn't realise that's not good etiquette during the middle of a basketball game.

"We switched and all of a sudden Phil Jackson, who has never looked in our direction, just gets up and turns to us and says, 'Hey, this isn't musical chairs. Next time you move around during a play-off (game), I'll kick you the f**k outta here.

"It was the most terrible feeling because I look up to this guy so much... It was like your dad telling you, like, 'I don't know how you came from me.'".
