Howard Stern has made it clear: if he isn’t sitting in the front row at Madison Square Garden watching the New York Knicks, then he isn’t going at all. 

Stern, 71, is not known to be the biggest sports fan, but does support the Knicks, who hold a 3-2 series lead over the defending champion Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals. 

Yet despite the team’s playoff success, Stern will not be a part of the raucous Madison Square Garden crowd unless he gets front row seats. 

“You can tell your place in show business by where they place you at the Knicks game. The day they put me in the second row, I quit. Because I consider myself a first-row type person,” Stern said on “The Howard Stern Show.”

“I’m very aware of where they seat me, and it’s very important to me. If they said to me, ‘Look, you’re not gonna be in the first row,’ I’d turn around and leave. It would be embarrassing to me.”

Stern does have interest in going to an upcoming Knicks’ playoff game, but will only attend if his requirements are met.

“I have tremendous interest, but I wouldn’t go. I’m very self-conscious. I wait for them to invite me,” Stern said. 

“I don’t want to take advantage and I know everyone comes out of the woodwork for the Finals. I don’t want to be that guy. I prefer when the Knicks are dead last, then I don’t feel guilty taking the tickets because nobody wants to go.”

While he would like to go to a game, if invited, the longtime host does not have a lot of faith in the Knicks knocking off the Celtics and moving on.

“I still feel like the Knicks are gonna blow it. I get agita with that team,” Stern said. 

The Celtics won Game 5 at the TD Garden in Boston 127-105 despite not having star player Jayson Tatum due to an Achilles injury he suffered at the end of Game 4. 

The Knicks have another chance to clinch the series on Friday at 8 p.m. ET, when the series returns to Madison Square Garden. The team has not made the conference finals since 2000.
