Throwing Jalen Brunson Under the Bus, 25YO Knicks Star Clowns Himself With 2-Word Goal for Upcoming Season

Josh Hart of the New York Knicks became a crowd favorite as soon as he stepped onto the court with Jalen Brunson. The NBA veteran’s long-time wish to be part of the Knicks was fulfilled when they signed him on a four-year $81 million contract. Primarily known for his shooting skills, Hart has proved to be skilled in defense and rebound.

His initial run with the Lakers was impressive for a rookie, but unfortunately, he sustained injuries, leaving him sidelined. From there, he went on to play for New Orleans, and Portland, before landing in New York. For each team he played with, Hart left a mark. And now, he has done the same with the Knicks and their fans.

His most viral ‘breastmilk’ post got him more attention than he wagered for. Much more.

That particular stunt almost cost him his friendship with Jalen Brunson as well. But the boys are back together and in the latest hilarious fan video, we can see Hart promptly throwing Jalen under the bus. “Yo go & get him Jalen Brunson’s right there.”

Though Hart gave a comical response to the fan’s question about points, his stats with the Knicks are promising. After shooting 30.4% from the deep with the Blazers, Hart has improved to 51.9% from 3-point range during his time with the Knicks.
