Since the Milwaukee Bucks were eliminated from the NBA playoffs, I’m now only watching for the drama — and there has been plenty of it. One person living for all the action? Mariska Hargitay, whom Ben Stiller describes as the “envy” of every Knicks fan for this reason. On a different court, Naomi Osaka made a major comeback — and fans gave her a new amusing nickname. Travis Kelce should take notes, considering Jason is begging him to reconsider their mom’s nickname. Now, let’s get to some other sports headlines…
Our take: The Met Gala has been a magnet for Hollywood’s biggest stars, but athletes have steadily gained a presence over the years. This year’s gala was even co-chaired by LeBron James (who RSVP’d no last minute) and Lewis Hamilton. Sha’Carri Richardson, Angel Reese, and Biles also served on the host committee. Their involvement shows how fashion and sports are increasingly intertwined, especially thanks to women athletes who’ve been leading that charge. (Just look at the WNBA tunnel walks.) As Reese once put it, “You can be cute and go out there and still ball.”
