Jackman's som embarrasses dad at Knicks game

From: contactmusic.com

HUGH JACKMAN's nine-year-old son embarrassed the movie hunk at a basketball game - again - by rooting for the wrong team.
The actor was invited to take little Oscar to a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden after revealing the youngster had ruined a trip to see the Los Angeles Lakers late last year (08) - by spilling candy all over the court.
But the star's latest attempt to get his son into basketball left Jackman red faced - because his son was more interested in the visiting Denver Nuggets.
The Aussie says, "We were courtside... and he was sort of into it. He said, 'Dad, who's everyone going for?' And I said, 'Well, we're in New York... Everyone traditionally will go for New York.' He goes, 'Right, go Nuggets, go the Nuggets.'
"They scored and won the game... and we were given a whole load of swag by the Knicks to kind of shut him up... He had the (Knicks) hat in his hand and every time the Knicks scored, he's like, 'No, I hate Knicks (banging it on the floor).'"
And, despite all the free stuff little Oscar was given by the Knicks' marketing bosses, the biggest prize of the night came at the end of the game - from Nuggets star J.R. Smith.
Jackman explains, "He came over at the end and took his shirt off... and gave it to Oscar. That's how big a fan he was.
"It came down to his ankles, like a dress (and) he wore that home... I thought we were going to get beaten up."
