Larry David was in the stands at TD Garden in Boston on Saturday night, doing his best not to get too carried away with March Madness fever while watching UConn play Illinois.
The Curb Your Enthusiasm star and Seinfeld co-creator, who trades his affectionately moody persona, was seen stretching his legs over a barrier near the court.
It was reminiscent of the classic Curb Your Enthusiasm scene from season 2, where David gets courtside seats for the Lakers and accidentally trips Shaquille O’Neal while stretching his legs.
Fans soon caught a glimpse of the 76-year-old and he was apparently bombarded with photo requests at the half-time interval, which was exactly as most people expected.
NBC Sports’ Jordan Cornette wrote on X: ‘Larry David sitting front row at half court here in Boston for ILLINI/UCONN. He was being photobombed to start halftime. He was visibly upset.
Larry David was in Boston on Saturday night, watching UConn vs Illinois at TD Garden.
David was “visibly upset” that his fans asked for photos, but he still seemed to oblige.
In a famous episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, David tripped Shaquille O’Neal by stretching his legs.
‘It was like watching a live Curb performance right in front of my eyes. Priceless.’
Despite his apparent apprehension, a journalist, Trevor Haas of the Boston Globe, took a photo with David and recounted his funny interaction with him while sharing the images on X.
Haas wrote: ‘Me: “You’ve made me laugh more than anyone over the years. Thank you.” Larry David: “Okay, you’re getting too close.”
CBS claimed that David was rooting for Illinois against the defending champion Huskies.
He was apparently frustrated with his plans to challenge Donovan Clingan, according to the station, who said David could hear him shouting, “Change your strategy!” Change your strategy!’
Speaking before March Madness began, David, a lifelong New York sports fan, admitted to NFL Network’s Rich Eisen that he’s struggling to keep up with the tournament.
‘This tournament: how long can I continue in sports? Am I supposed to know who’s on Drake? I mean, this is crazy, crazy.
‘I have the Rangers, I have the Knicks; I can’t follow all these teams. How do people do it? How they did it?’
