With 27 World Championships to their name, the New York Yankees stand as probably the most successful team in the history of American major league sports. Naturally, the Bronx Bombers also entertain the largest fanbase in the sport, and this fanbase extends and encompasses athletes and celebrities. Even the Knicks’ shooting guard, Josh Hart, is a massive Yankees fan, and in the third game of the first playoff round, Hart has proved his love for the Pinstripes. As the New York Knicks took on the Cleveland Cavaliers, Josh Hart’s hair pulled out a surprise for all sporting fans in Manhattan.

But Josh Hart’s love for the New York Yankees goes way back, and all the way to 1955, when his great uncle, Elston Howard, made his debut for the Pinstripes. And almost 70 years later, Hart comes up with a special tribute for his uncle, and the Pinstripes.

Josh Hart’s special tribute to the Yankees

After winning the first game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Knicks lost the second game and entered the third game with the series leveled. At the same time, $8 million worth Josh Hart entered with a new hairstyle, which traveled a few miles away from Madison Square Garden and to Yankee Stadium.

The Knicks star, in his special gesture to the Bronx Bombers, braided his hair to make the iconic New York Yankees’ ‘NY’ symbol on his hair.

Fans absolutely loved the gesture, and some also called him the “best player on the Knicks.”

This is how other fans reacted:

Elston Howard, who 28-year-old Josh Hart looks up to as a role model, spent 14 seasons in the Major Leagues. During this, Howard won six World Championships, an AL MVP award in 1963, and made 12 All-Star appearances.

How are the New York Knicks placed in the playoffs?

The Knicks concluded the Eastern Conference in fifth position on the table and directly moved to the playoff round, where they are taking on the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were in the fourth position. Presently, the Knicks lead the Cavaliers 2-1.
