Jack Harlow was courtside for Game 1 of the New York Knicks-Miami Heat playoff series at Madison Square Garden and one Heat player fell into the stands mid-game.
Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry is known for his thick frame and Harlow claimed on Sunday (April 30) that the six-foot Lowry came crashing into him following a three-point shot.

“Kyle Lowry just took a fadeaway 3 and landed in my lap,” the Louisville rapper wrote to his Instagram Story. “The rumors are true. His shit is like a pillow.”
It’s unclear if this actually happened in the game but Lowry did come crashing into the first row while diving for a loose ball on Sunday.

Either way, fans ran with Harlow’s story which spread like wildfire on social media. While Lowry’s backside has been the subject of years of memes, the 37-year-old admitted, although the chatter used to bother him, he’s gotten past it.
“It used to bother me a lot,” he told Vince Carter’s The VC Show in 2022. “It used to get to me. It used to really get to me, I’m gonna be honest with you. And now, I don’t care… Thick’s been good for me. Yeah, I’m cool with it… Y’all can create all the memes y’all want. I embrace it. I love it.”
Fittingly enough, Harlow raps about his hopes to one day be sitting on Celebrity Row at Madison Square Garden for a Knicks game onJackman cut “Ambitious.”
“Onе day I’m gon’ be front row at the Knicks/Wait until the world gеts a load of this,” he manifests.

The Miami Heat got the best of the Knicks in Game 1 108-101 with Jimmy Butler leading the way with a team-high 25 points and 11 rebounds. Lowry poured in 18 points with six assists as well.
New York will look to bounce back on Tuesday night (May 2) where MSG will host Game 2 in what’s essentially a must-win for the Knicks who will look to avoid a 2-0 deficit at home.
