Love is in the air, as some marquee NBA players have tied the knot with their respective partners as of late. One of those athletes is New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns, who married longtime partner Jordyn Woods roughly a week ago in Malibu, California months after the team’s championship festivities. So far, the happy couple has shared some tidbits from their big day, including photos and video. Now, one of Towns’ teammates has dropped a funny tidbit about who ripped up the dance floor at the wedding.
Fellow Knicks player Jose Alvarado was recently asked a few questions about Towns and Woods’ nuptials. Overall, the point guard had a lot of positive thoughts to share about the wedding. During his interview with TMZ, Alvarado was also asked who really cut loose on the dance floor, leading him to name another Knicks player: Josh Hart. While Alvarado didn’t provide specifics on the moves Hart busted out, I’m chuckling just thinking about him showing off his skills.
I suppose it actually makes sense that Hart would be the one to have something of an edge when it comes to dancing. The fan-favorite small forward is quite light on his feet and, on the court, he’s exemplified his agility on more than a few occasions. With that, Hart (who’s also a bit of a prankster) was also a key piece of the Knicks’ star-studded championship run. Personally, I love the idea of the NBA player getting out on the floor and dancing like no one’s watching.
Of course, there likely were attendees watching and, according to reports, a number of the people in attendance were famous faces (many of which are notable Knicks fans). Woods’ no longer-estranged friend, Kylie Jenner was reportedly present with her beau (and NY superfan) Timothée Chalamet. Also at the wedding were Michael B. Jordan, Ben Stiller and fellow, outspoken Knicks devotee Tracy Morgan. Alvarado shed some light on what it was like being in the presence of such celebrities:
Definitely different to be in that room, but it was dope. You know, everybody, no matter what level you are, everybody’s human, so it was just cool to be around that.
Oh, to have been a fly on the wall for that celebration of love, and I’d say the same thing about the recent nuptials of Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell and actress/singer Coco Jones. As a sports fan, I find it so interesting that several high-profile athletes have been married in just the span of a few months. I mean, aside from the two aforementioned unions, many are still gushing about watching Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce exchange vows in July. As for Woods and Towns’ wedding, check out one of the videos they shared:
Amid all that footage, what I was hoping to see was a clear shot of Josh Hart on the dance floor but, alas, it’s not there. Maybe someone captured a bit of that and will post it at a later time, though. We’ll just have to wait and see but, for now, congrats to Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns!
