“My Wife Slapped the Sh*t Outta Me”: NBA Star Leaves Fans Flabbergasted

NBA stars usually aren’t very open about their personal lives. Despite being surrounded by cameras most of the time, they do well to keep things under wraps. However, some stars are more comfortable than others in this regard. Portland Trail Blazers star Josh Hart is very active on Twitter. From tweeting about acts of kindness to performances of other NBA players, Hart has made a good fan following for himself on the social media platform. However, his recent tweet sent fans into a frenzy.

Hart tweeted that his wife slapped him while he was asleep because he was smiling. The Blazers star has a knack for comedy and his latest tweet only goes on to insinuate that fact. Hart married his high-school sweetheart, Shannon Phillips in August 2021 and the couple has been going strong ever since.

This wasn’t the first time Hart had tweeted about his wife. On Jan. 22nd, Hart tweeted, “I hate when my wife and I go into MY car and she starts touching the temperature, volume etc”. While it may seem things aren’t good between them, Hart has always loved to goof around.

Josh Hart is having a great season

While things off the court have been going well for Hart, his performances on the court have been great as well. While his scoring numbers have declined compared to the 13 games he played with the Blazers last year after getting traded, his overall impact on the team is unquestionable.

Hart is averaging 9.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 33.5 minutes per game. He provides a good balance to the starting backcourt of Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons. The Blazers are in a battle for the playoffs as they currently sit at 12th, just 1.5 games behind the 6th-seeded Dallas Mavericks.

Hart will become a free agent in 2024 as he signed a three-year deal with the New Orleans Pelicans ahead of the 2021-22 season. He will certainly be looking to improve on the $38 million deal he signed in 2021. What are your thoughts on Hart’s hilarious tweet? Let us know in the comments.
