Madison Square Garden was electric in the last game, but not just because of what happened on the court. A photo from the Knicks-Hawks playoff game went viral for an entirely different reason.
Kylie Jenner was spotted courtside, and her reaction to a Knicks legend’s performance has drawn a lot of trolling.
The post shows a photo from the Knicks-Hawks Game 5 playoff matchup at Madison Square Garden, with fans on their feet giving Jalen Brunson a roaring standing ovation, all except one.
Kylie Jenner was seen seated, barely clapping, while even her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet joined the rest of the crowd in applauding. The image spread like wildfire across X, and you always know Knicks fans are too possessive of their stars.

In Game 5, Jalen Brunson was the main show as he scored 39 points on 15-of-23 shooting, including three threes, and also provided eight assists, powering the New York Knicks to an emphatic 126-97 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.
In the final quarter, he was nearly unstoppable as he scored 17 points in 8.5 minutes, securing the Knicks’ victory. New York is in the lead of the series 3-2 and will have a chance to eliminate the Hawks in Game 6.
Knicks Fans React, And They Are Not Happy With Kylie
New York Knicks fans are famously passionate, and they wasted no time directing their frustration at Jenner. The replies poured in fast and furious, with thousands of fans calling her out for not showing respect to one of the city’s biggest stars.
One fan demanded, “Ban her @JamesDolan.”
One fired off simply, “GET HER OFF THE COURT.”
One noted, “Give those seats to real fans not a trophy wife smh.”
One quipped sarcastically, “Non-ball knower? Perhaps?”
One joked, “Tell me you had Hawks +6.5 without telling me you had Hawks +6.5.”
One wrote bluntly, “She bet Brunson’s point total under.”
One pointed out with a smirk, “39 isn’t impressive, 40 though gets her up for sure.”
One commented, “She should be on the ban list from MSG.”
One demanded directly, “@KylieJenner you will stand for Jalen Brunson masterclasses.”
And one summed it all up perfectly: “She bet the Hawks.”
What’s Next for the New York Knicks
The New York Knicks now hold a commanding 3-2 series lead and head to Atlanta for Game 6 with a chance to close it out. The formula is clear keep feeding Karl-Anthony Towns in the post, where the Hawks simply have no answer for him in the paint.
Jalen Brunson must stay aggressive, while the defense needs to lock down Jalen Johnson and limit CJ McCollum’s rhythm from deep.
