Soccer, like combat sports, has the puncher?s chance until the last second of the game. But Arsenal did not even need to go that far. They turned the game in its head by the 77 minute and took away the cheers of the Chelsea fans. One such Chelsea fan was the New York Knicks shooting guard, Josh Hart. Yet he couldn?t stop himself from mocking the Miami Veteran, who is a fan of Arsenal.
The New York Knicks and The Miami Heat are part of the Eastern Conference. Thus, they have to butt heads if they have title aspirations. Josh Hart and Josh Richardson are taking this rivalry to another level by mocking one another regarding their favorite soccer teams.
It was a draw.

Chelsea has been languishing in the 10 position, while Arsenal is in the 2nd. It was expected to be a lopsided game with Arsenal, winning it comfortably. But the Blues shocked and surprised the Gunners by scoring 2 goals, and maintaining the lead for the 2/3 of the game. Josh Richardson, who is an Arsenal fan, could not agree with Hart when he tweeted about Mudryk?s goal. Richardson?s response was, ?That goal was an accident. We looked terrible. You guys (actually) looked like u knew what was going on today. We go again. ???

But Arsenal kept on coming in waves, and around the 77 minute, they had their first breakthrough, which cut the Chelsea lead by half. And later Saka connected with Trossard to equal the deficit and ended the game in a draw. Though Chelsea could not take home a winner, it gave the bragging rights to Josh Hart, who mocked Richardson by asking to him wear a Blues jersey next time. Check out the below tweet.
Bro I couldn?t believe how we ended it but we go again. Just next time you have to wear a Blues jersey to a game after we win https://t.co/nWwfuLYTFV

If that was soccer, the NBA regular season is going to begin in a couple of days. And, be it the new in-season tournament, or the arrival of the mammoth talents like Victor Wembanyama, this is going to be a special season in a lot of ways.

The Knicks and The Heat
These two teams command a very loyal fanbase. While the Heat had been to the finals even the last season, the Knicks had not even won the Eastern Conference since 1999. Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle are talented players, but the Knicks need a superstar to make them a genuine contender.

The Heat, despite their last season run, would need more talent to go against the likes of the Milwaukee Bucks and the Celtics with their new-look rosters. A lot can happen before the trade deadline, and hopefully, these two teams should make some valuable additions if they want to have a real crack at the title.
