Funnyman Jonah Hill fears he has ruined his chances of ever getting closeto his sporting hero after upsetting Los Angeles Lakers basketball coach Phil Jackson by changing seats at a game.

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

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

I didn't realise that's not good etiquette during the middle of a basketball game

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.'"
