New York Knicks star Josh Hart is infamous for his hilarious posts and responses on social media. He once had the fans in splits when he jokingly tweeted that his wife slapped him because he smiled while sleeping. He also locked horns with close friend Donovan Mitchell before the start of the playoffs. While Mitchell kept his cool and did not turn it into a social media battle, this Indiana Pacers star did not do the same when Hart called him out recently.
As the regular season came to a close, Mitchell shared his excitement for the playoffs with a clip of some of his incredible plays during the season. Interestingly, the Cleveland Cavaliers were set to face the Knicks in the first round. So Hart came out swinging with his response. And now, Hart got into it with a 23-year-old Indiana star.

Josh Hart is a huge jokester and most stars in the NBA and fans are aware of it thanks to his silly posts. Even though Donovan Mitchell is a close friend, the guard did not hold back with his reply, ??Fu** You?. Mitchell did not respond, but he was ready to face Hart in the first round of the playoffs.
However, the New York Knicks comfortably won the series 4-1 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. So Hart won the bragging rights and his comments did not come back to bite him. But not everyone would remain calm when called out, and Hart found that out recently with Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton.

Haliburton recently responded to a fan on social media saying, “If he?s tall, lightskin, and can pass, he?s JKidd, Lonzo, Lamelo, or me.” This caught the eyes of the Knicks star who replied, “Aren?t you like 6?2?”
