Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce have once again delighted fans with a fantastic episode of their New Heights podcast, featuring special guest Ben Stiller. During the conversation, Stiller made no secret of his love for the New York Knicks, while the elder Kelce brother admitted that NBA players are truly betterathletes.
It all started with a discussion about the unique experience of watching a basketball game courtside, something they described as both surreal and awe-inspiring. “There’s nothing better, right? So close,” Stiller said on a new episode of New Heights.
Jason Kelce’s Confession About NBA Players
Jason Kelce then shared a surprising realization: “And that was my first time realizing, oh my god, these guys are like so much better athletes than football players. Like they are moving so fast on their feet. Yeah, it was just – and the size. Yeah. Like I think it’s harder when you’re brought back from it to really realize how big and athletic they are.”

His comment, while honest, might not sit well with some NFL players.
“When you’re on the court, it’s like, ‘Oh, that guy is high,'” Jason added, before the conversation shifted to LeBron James, widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

Stiller chimed in:
“I mean, even just seeing LeBron in person… I was watching the other night, I mean, he’s just so big and he’s so strong.”
Ben Stiller’s Ultimate Knicks Wish
One of the standout moments of the episode came when Jason Kelce asked Stiller: “Would you rather win an Academy Award or see the Knicks win the NBA Championship?”
For any die-hard Knicks fan, the response was predictable: “I think the Knicks winning a championship is in the cards. So I’m definitely down for that.”
