There’s something fishy about Tracy Morgan.
The diehard Knicks fan won’t eat anything at the World’s Most Famous Arena when he cheers on New York against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Playoffs Sunday, he dished to The Post.
“Well I’m a pescatarian now, so all I eat is fish and vegetables, so I eat before I go,” he said.
And the Bed-Stuy native isn’t about to get crabby when it comes to other celeb Knicks fans — the real ones and those only after front-‘roe’ photo ops.
“Yo, listen, I can’t be calling people out like that,” he said. “If you a Knick fan, you a Knick fan at heart. I can’t be saying who’s not and who is. That’s not fair to them.”
Morgan is a genuine Knicks fanatic and considers fellow celebs like Spike Lee, Chris Rock, Howard Stern, Jerry Ferrara, 50 Cent, Ben Stiller, Matthew Modine, and Michael Rapaport OG fans too.
“Mike is up there with me and Spike,” he said Friday ahead of the Knicks 99-79 win in Game 3. “He’s down with the organization.”
The comedian assured that just because you don’t see all the celebrity Knicks fans at games doesn’t mean they’re not supporting the team.
“If they’re not there, they’re there in spirit,” said Morgan, 54. “Trust me, they’re somewhere watching the game, man. When I’m not at the game, I got Knick Night in my house.”
Morgan, who is currently on a nationwide comedy tour, couldn’t make Friday’s game, but will at Sunday’s 1 pm tilt.
“It ain’t like it’s different now because they’re winning. No, I was with them with they was losing too,” he explained.
“I’m not a fair-weather fan. I’m with the good, bad and ugly. I’m always going to be a fan. I’m a New Yorker. I’m a New York fan.”
The “SNL” alum went to his first Knicks game around 1981 with his uncle and brother and believes he’s been to 200.
He always sits in the same seat, courtside, and brings a plus one.
“I just switch it up. Sometimes I bring my daughter, sometimes I bring my cousin, sometimes I bring my friends,” he said.
He wants his loved ones to experience the game the way he does.
“When you’re sitting in a celebrity row, you’re looking at the game from a different perspective,” he said. “You hear communication, you see the sweat, you’re in the game.”
His favorite piece of Knicks memorabilia is his Mark Jackson Number 13 jersey, and he wasn’t sure what his most expensive item was, but it could be something he was recently gifted.
“I don’t know, Jalen Brunson’s father just gave me some sneakers the other day,” he said.
Although his devotion to the team never floundered, he sympathizes with those who have gotten frustrated over the years.
“They’ve been through a lot,” he said. “A lot of Knick fans are traumatized, so we don’t even know how to respond to all this winning.”
