Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg found themselves on Phil Jackson's bad side during the 2008 NBA Finals.

As Damon explained on a recent episode of "The Bill Simmons Podcast," he and Wahlberg were celebrating the Boston Celtics completing a comeback against the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center when then-head coach Phil Jackson lost it on the actors.

"... Wahlberg and I are like 'Oh my God!' and as (Jackson) calls the timeout, he just spins on us and he goes, 'Sit down and shut the f--- up!'" Damon said. "He was so mad - which I get."

The Celtics would go on to win their first NBA championship since 1986.
