[Saba Sports News] Latrell Sprewell raised eyebrows — and drew laughs — with a questionable social media post this week.
The former New York Knicks All-Star attended Game 4 of the Knicks’ second-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics on Monday at Madison Square Garden. Also spotted courtside was Kylie Jenner, joined by her sister Kendall and Kendall’s boyfriend, actor Timothée Chalamet.
Sprewell ended up posting about Jenner on social media, but it was his caption — especially the emoji he used — that got people talking. The internet quickly pounced, roasting the 54-year-old for the post, particularly given the significant age gap between him and the 27-year-old Jenner. As many pointed out, Sprewell was already an NBA All-Star before Jenner was even born.
Despite the backlash, the moment highlights how MSG during the playoffs continues to be a hotspot for stars from all walks of fame — from basketball legends like Sprewell to Hollywood A-listers. Sprewell, who played for the Knicks from 1999 to 2003, has remained a visible presence at the Garden since mending fences with team owner James Dolan.
