Tyra Banks Ended Up Between Two Furries at NYC Basketball Game and Twitter Loved It

The Knicks weren't the only ones having a ball as they won over the Nets in NYC on Jan. 23; X (formerly Twitter) was, too, as people on the platform responded to Tyra Banks sitting between two furries, The Cut reported.

Banks was "sitting courtside" along with the furries, with one on either side of her. One of the vaguely canine critters was green, yellow, white, and blue; the other's palette ran more to pink and purple.

There's no telling who, exactly, was under all that synthetic fur; the pair could have been two men, two women, one of each, or some other (or no) gender entirely. For that matter, it's possible they weren't actually there together, but happened to both be at the game at the same time – although at one point the Jumbotron caught them sharing a friendly nuzzle, leaning over Banks to rub noses and paw at each other as Banks, peering over the tussle, mouthed "What?!" and "This is crazy!" to the camera.

As the spirited love fest between the cuddly twosome continued, Banks clapped and grinned.

"Of course, you have a million questions about this," The Cut noted. "Why didn't Banks move over so the furries could sit together, for example."

On X, too, there were plenty of questions. Was this just a chance encounter, or was it a publicity stunt? Was Banks in on it? Her mugging suggests she was enjoying it, in any case.

Some recalled that Banks had critiqued furries in the past; others took note that the furries seemed not to be wearing well-fitting suits and that they weren't wearing the suits properly.

Have a look at what else they're saying on the platform once known as Twitter.
