Jordyn Woods is engaged to Karl-Anthony Towns, so when the Knicks owner James Dolan asked the team to give up sex for the entire playoffs, she had some thoughts. And apparently, she didn’t follow the rule.
During an interview with TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle, Woods admitted she couldn’t say she abided by Dolan’s request. She said she heard about it, but it wasn’t something she took seriously.
“Supposedly, our owner, Jim Dolan, told the guys, but he really wanted them to win,” Woods said. “Some guys can’t lock in.”
What Karl-Anthony Towns said about Jordyn Woods reacting to the rule
This isn’t surprising if you’ve been following along. Towns told Howard Stern earlier that Woods wasn’t a fan of Dolan’s suggestion. “I’m a happily engaged man. I will definitely say, when I came home and I told my fiancée what he said, she didn’t like to hear that one,” Towns said, laughing.
Stern then asked Towns if he still managed to follow the rule. Towns laughed and said, “I would say she’s very happy.” So it sounds like Woods wasn’t lying when she said she didn’t abide by the request.
Dolan’s speech to the team before the playoffs became public knowledge after Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart talked about it. The owner jokingly asked the players to be celibate for 10 weeks, comparing them to Spartans who denied themselves to gain an edge.
“I had this idea that maybe you should give up sex for the next 10 weeks,” Dolan said, making some players chuckle. “You don’t have to give up sex for the next 10 weeks, but like Spartans — do you know what Spartans are? They denied themselves so that they could have an edge. Get the edge.”
Dolan knew how ridiculous it sounded. He asked the players not to tell their partners he was the one who suggested it. “Don’t tell them it was my idea, but let them know what this is going to be like, what your commitment is going to be like, and how they’re going to have to sacrifice too.”
Guess that part of the plan didn’t work out either.
