‘She’s so fake’ – NBA and Jennifer Lopez face backlash for New York Knicks reaction video

‘She’s so fake’ – NBA and Jennifer Lopez face backlash for New York Knicks reaction video

The New York Knicks recently celebrated a historic victory, winning their first NBA championship in 53 years after defeating the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the finals. The Knicks' season-long success was met with excitement, particularly from WWE star Danhausen, who attended some of their games at Madison Square Garden. The NBA recently shared a video of Jennifer Lopez reacting to the Knicks clinching the title, but the response has been met with skepticism and criticism from many fans.

Lopez, shown standing up in her living room, screamed and shouted, exclaiming "we gotta call everyone." However, fans have since expressed their discontent with both the NBA and the singer. One fan remarked that Lopez seemed "so fake" and that she was only focused on drawing attention to herself. Others likened her reaction to that of a girlfriend trying to impress her boyfriend by showing interest in a sport she clearly doesn't care about.

Another fan questioned why the NBA would prioritize such information in their feeds. Many commented that they simply didn't care about Lopez's reaction, while others criticized the NBA for its fixation on celebrities. One fan even questioned the cost of the collaboration between the NBA and Lopez, suggesting that fans didn't appreciate the involvement of the singer.
