Kylie Kelce is famously superstitious, and her superstitions are usually channeled through her Philadelphia Eagles fandom. Kelce is married to Jason Kelce, an Eagles legend, but she took Philadelphia sports seriously long before their well-documented romance.
If you're wondering just how seriously she takes it, Kelce knocked on a wooden spoon before merely talking about LeBron James signing with the Philadelphia 76ers.
"Here's how I look at this: LeBron is a GOAT, right?" Kelce said on the July 30 episode of her "Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce" podcast.

Last Friday, July 24, James, 41, announced that he planned to sign with the 76ers in free agency after eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. ESPN's Shams Charania reported that James signed a two-year, $8 million contract, including a player option.
James is entering his NBA-record 24th season. The 22-time All-Star, four-time NBA MVP, and four-time NBA champion owns nearly every NBA record imaginable, but he has a shot to do the unprecedented one more time in Philly. If he can lead the Sixers to their first NBA title since 1983, James would become the first player to win four championships with four different franchises. And if there's a championship parade in Philadelphia, we all know the Kelces will be front and center.
