After attending the Thursday, May 29 playoff matchup between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers with boyfriend Timothée Chalamet at Madison Square Garden, Jenner, 27, took to TikTok to share an NSFW confession about her and the actor's sex life amid the Knicks' bid for a spot in the NBA Championships. Jenner reposted a TikTok shared by Max around 2 a.m. Friday morning, that referenced a Sex and the City scene where Samantha (Kim Cattrall) is relying on the Knicks to win in order to have sex with her boyfriend. "And when did we start caring about basketball?" Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) asks in the clip that Jenner reposted. "Don is obsessed," Samantha replies, referring to her boyfriend at the time. "I don't get laid unless the Knicks win." Jenner's repost of the video sent fans into a frenzy, as it offered a rare insight into her sex life with Chalamet, 29, whom she has been notoriously private about since they were first linked in April 2023. Jenner's outing with her Knicks-obsessed boyfriend comes after she made some rare comments about attending starry events with him — and how she chose her outfits. "I think it just like happened that way," Jenner told Harper's Bazaar about her decision to wear a black, curve-hugging Schiaparelli gown for their red carpet debut earlier this month. "Even recently, I was like, 'I can't wear another black dress.' And then, of course, the most perfect, gorgeous Schiaparelli black dress shows up." She called the dresses she's worn to various awards shows to support the A Complete Unknown star — the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs, the Oscars — "beautiful" and "iconic," as she revealed why she often opted for black. "I think a black dress is also kind of like, not too attention-grabbing in the best way. You can never go wrong with a black dress." Thursday's game marked the second time Jenner has been on hand at Madison Square Garden to support the Knicks with her boyfriend. She also attended the May 12 matchup between the Knicks and the Boston Celtics, and brought her older sister Kendall Jenner along too. The game was also a reunion for her and her longtime BFF Jordyn Woods, who is dating Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns.

Why Kerr believes Draymond is ‘heartbeat' of Warriors' dynasty
Why Kerr believes Draymond is 'heartbeat' of Warriors' dynasty originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area Steve Kerr believes Draymond Green has been just as impactful as Steph Curry in the Warriors' sustained run of success over the last decade. Advertisement The Golden State coach explained that he has recently been reading Sam Walker's 'The Captain Class,' and that much of what the book discusses applies to the Warriors. 'The point of the book is that it's not always the leading scorer, it's not always the most talented player but it's the guys who are — literally or figuratively — the captains of the team and why they have such an impact on winning,' Kerr told Tim Kawakami on 'The TK Show.' 'I think Draymond really applies in a lot of ways. I've always felt that Draymond is, as I've said, the heartbeat of the team. Steph's obviously our best player, but Draymond has driven a lot of the winning. Now he doesn't fit every category in the book. 'Obviously, he's had his own ups and downs in terms of his own leadership. I think the common thread between all these championship teams is just competitive force and fire. That's what Draymond has.' Advertisement Green's passion for the game and stifling defense have been some of the main ingredients to Golden State's four NBA championships over the past 10 years. Earlier this year, the 36-year-old's impassioned speech during a team meeting set the tone for the Warriors' Game 7 win over the Houston Rockets in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Still, it has not been smooth sailing during Green's tenure with Golden State. At times, his competitive nature and passion get the best of him. Between numerous flagrant and technical fouls and plenty of suspensions for his aggressive play, Green has been a lightning rod for controversy. Kerr wouldn't have it any other way, though. He wants to ride out this era in Golden State with Green and Curry at his side. With a full offseason to integrate Jimmy Butler into the mix, Kerr and the Warriors are feeling good about their chances to capture a fifth NBA Finals trophy next season.

(ROBYN BECK/AFP via Getty Images) Gregg Popovich spent nearly 29 years as a head coach in the NBA – all with the San Antonio Spurs. No other head coach has coached one franchise longer than Popovich. The longtime Spurs coach won 1,422 games, an NBA record, leading the Spurs to five NBA Championships during one of the longest periods of sustained success for any pro sports franchise – a true dynasty. He was named the 'NBA Coach of the Year' three times; in 2003, 2012 and 2014. Outside of the NBA, Popovich served as head coach for Team USA's men's basketball team for the 2019 FIBA World Cup and 2020 Olympic Games, where he led the latter team to a gold medal. Popovich will got down as one of the greatest figures in basketball history, remembered for his ability to cultivate a legendary winning culture in San Antonio, and the legendary teams, typically led by the trio of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginóbli, that took the floor night in and night out for 29 years.

Basketball great Gregg Popovich steps down as Spurs head coach after nearly 30 years
Legendary basketball coach Gregg Popovich announced Friday that he will be stepping down as head coach of the San Antonio Spurs and will transition full-time to president of basketball operations. The announcement followed Popovich's absence for most of the 2024 season following what the team previously called a mild stroke. "While my love and passion for the game remain, I've decided it's time to step away as head coach," Popovich said in a statement Friday afternoon. "I'm forever grateful to the wonderful players, coaches, staff and fans who allowed me to serve them as the Spurs head coach and am excited for the opportunity to continue to support the organization, community and city that are so meaningful to me." Popovich's tenure comes to an end after a nearly three-decade run that saw him coach the Spurs to five NBA Championships. He remains the league's all-time wins leader and has the most playoff wins with one team by any coach in NBA history. His career, which also included being named NBA Coach of the Year three times and an Olympic gold medal, earned him a place in the Hall of Fame in 2023. "Coach Pop's extraordinary impact on our family, San Antonio, the Spurs and the game of basketball is profound," Spurs managing partner Peter J. Holt said in a statement. "His accolades and awards don't do justice to the impact he has had on so many people. He is truly one-of-one as a person, leader and coach. Our entire family, alongside fans from across the globe, are grateful for his remarkable 29-year run as the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs." Popovich missed all but five games this past season after suffering a stroke at the team's arena on Nov. 2. Assistant coach Mitch Johnson took over from then on. The 76-year-old coach has not spoken publicly since the incident but addressed the team in February where he said he hopes he can "return to coaching in the future." However, last month, Popovich reportedly suffered a medical incident while dining out at a restaurant. Popovich will remain with the Spurs as team president, a role he has held since 1994. In 1996, he fired Bob Hill and appointed himself coach – a title he also held for 29 seasons. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
