PHOTOS: Kendall Jenner at NBA games through the years

Take a look at some of the finest snaps of the model and media personality Kendall Jenner at NBA games over the years below.

Model and socialite Kendall Jenner has been a regular at pro basketball games for many years with her family and then herself having connections in the NBA community. She was most recently spotted at the Crypto.com Arena in the company of acclaimed recording artist Bad Bunny.

You can take a look at her pictures at NBA games over the years below.

Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner are now a new mansplaining meme after attending Lakers game

Say hello to the newest meme.

Welcome to a certain subset of the Meme Hall of Fame, Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner.

Throughout the years, we’ve seen many a meme of a man turning to the woman he’s with and the screengrab shows he’s saying something emphatically. That’s led to the same approach for meme makers: “THEY PUT WHATEVER THE MAN IS MANSPLAINING IN ALL CAPS TO CAPTION IT.”

Well, with Jenner and the music star at a recent Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors game, cameras caught Bad Bunny saying something to Jenner, and naturally, this has become a meme that has spread everywhere:

Beverage of the Week: Welp, Kendall Jenner makes the best tequila I’ve ever had

Today in “sentences I never imagined I’d write.” And also “drinks I never thought I’d drink.” Weird day.

Welcome back to FTW’s Beverage of the Week series. Here, we mostly chronicle and review beers, but happily expand that scope to any beverage that pairs well with sports. Yes, even cookie dough whiskey.

I had never heard of 818 Tequila for two reasons. The first is that I’m not a big tequila drinker, leaving me abreast only of the big names — your Cuervos and Patrons and Espolons, mostly. The second is that I am someone’s dad, woefully out of touch with popular culture that doesn’t revolve around various FX/FXX shows and largely unaware of the business ventures of Miss Kendall Jenner.

Jenner, like George Clooney, Dan Aykroyd and Peyton Manning before her, is now in the spirits business. Her brand, 818, was founded in 2021 and quickly gained the kind of cachet that comes with 280 million Instagram followers. The official company account clocks in at 1.1 million, which seems low by comparison but is still five times larger than White Claw’s following.

(There’s a larger debate here about the role of cultural appropriation in the rise of American celebrities adopting traditional Mexican spirits and culture to make money, particularly when it comes to a family as ubiquitous as the Kardashian/Jenner clan. I assure you I am not the right person to talk to about this. I am just here to drink it, but I do understand the concern.)

I was fortunate not only to get some for sampling, but to get a fifth of 818’s ultra-luxe Eight Reserve, which comes in a very nice, unique eight-shaped ceramic bottle that also happens to look like the world’s least convenient vape pen. And since I’m a relative tequila neophyte, I also reached out to 818’s Director of Tequila David Yan Gonzalez to talk me through it (in between our shared concerns over why the Dallas Cowboys aren’t better).

Devin Booker, Kendall Jenner break up

Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker are dunzo — the model and NBA superstar reportedly split up recently … and it’s all due to their hectic schedules. KJ and D-Book first went public with their love on Valentine’s Day in 2021 … but as TMZ Sports previously reported, they became an item after spending a ton of time quarantining together in 2020.

It was just a couple of weeks ago that Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker and Kendall Jenner split up after more than two years of dating. However, it appears they’re still going strong, despite the reports of going their separate ways. Since then, Jenner and Booker were seen in Malibu soaking up the sun, and on Sunday, they were spotted again in the Hamptons at ex-Philadelphia 76ers owner Michael Rubin’s Fourth of July party.

Giants’ Darius Slayton: ‘Dating a Kardashian’ the scariest curse in sports

New York Giants WR Darius Slayton (tongue-in-cheek) believes “dating a Kardashian” is the worst curse in all of sports.

If one of the Kardashian’s suddenly become available, do not expect New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton to shoot his shot.

This past Friday — Friday the 13th — SportsCenter posed a very simple question: “What’s the scariest curse in sports history?”

Some of the answers were obvious. There was, of course, the Madden curse and the “Drake wearing your team’s jersey” curse. There were also others suggested, like just playing in Minnesota (terrible sports history there). And for fans of the New York Giants, there were references to the infamous Miami boat trip.

In fact, that boat trip came up a second time over the weekend.

But the aforementioned Slayton had a different line of thought when it came to the worst sports curse. His answer came at the cross-section of sports and entertainment.

“Dating a Kardashian,” he tweeted.

“The Kardashian Curse” is something that has evolved over the years and does not sit well with the clan, including Kendall Jenner, who has been very outspoken about the curse.

“What I don’t like about this narrative is that the blame is on us. I think the men need to take that responsibility. It’s almost offensive, personally,” Jenner told Maxim of the athletes who have faltered after dating a Kardashian or Jenner.

Among the professional athletes to date a Kardashian or Jenner are Kris Humphries, Lamar Odom, Tristan Thompson, James Harden, Ben Simmons, Reggie Bush, Miles Austin, Derrick Ward, Matt Kemp and Devin Booker.

For many of those players, they struggled during and after dating within the Kardashian. And for some, they never recovered from the dreaded “Kardashian curse.”

Kendall Jenner might have just gotten Devin Booker a starting spot in the All-Star game with this tweet

I guess we can pencil in Devin Booker as a starter now.

NBA All-Star weekend is right around the corner in just over a month. And that means voting for the starting spots is kicking into overdrive.

The starters will be announced toward the end of the month so fans only have a few weeks left to get their favorite players starting spots in the upcoming game.

Kendall Jenner’s favorite player is obviously her boyfriend, Devin Booker. And she’s doing everything she can to make sure her boo gets that starting spot in the game.

Jenner has 31.8 million followers on Twitter. She sent a tweet out saying she wanted to see Book in the game. The tweet already has over 5,000 retweets and every vote counts as double now.

That’s not even mentioning all of the replies where they’re also voting for Booker, too. And, for good measure, she also sent out an Instagram story to tell her 211 million followers there to vote for Book as well.

Let’s see where Booker was on the first returns.

5th, huh? Yeah, he certainly won’t be that on the next go-round. That’s for sure. This is like that time Justin Beiber got Kyle Lowry in as an All-Star starter at the last minute. This time it’s a Jenner bump for Booker.

So, yeah, Suns fans. If Booker ends up starting in the All-Star game this go around, y’all better thank Kendall. She did that.
