Josh Hart hits back at Knicks teammates trolls after Eagles win
Celebrity fans usually make it to prime NFL playoff games. At the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders NFC Championship game earlier today, they had New York Knicks stars Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart in attendance.
However, they were not there to just attend the game as football fans. The trio are hard core fans of both teams, just not together. Jalen Brunson and ‘KAT’, both New Jersey natives are die-hard Eagles fans. On the other hand, Hart has always supported his DMV area Commanders.
Brunson has been a part of NFL gameday programs before as he sported an Eagles jersey while speaking with ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown crew. On the other hand, Towns wears Eagles merchandise to NBA games now and then.
In the first half of the game, the trio witnessed the Eagles taking a lead. Then as the third quarter was winding down, the home team recovered a Commanders fumble. At this point, Jalen Brunson tweeted this.
To this Karl-Anthony Towns replied that he can confirm that Hart has actually left the game before fourth quarter started. These tweets saw the New York Knicks stars take a shot at their teammate for quitting on his Washington Commanders before the game ended.
I can confirm this report. https://t.co/QAOoEi1VfR

They saw the game going in the favor of the Philadelphia Eagles and decided to pile the misery on Hart. The game ended with the Eagles winning 55-23 and both Knicks All-Stars enjoyed it at their teammate’s expense.
Josh Hart hits back at Knicks teammates with epic troll
Josh Hart is not one to stop at bringing some humor. On top of his all-round impact on a deep Knicks roster, he is also one who brings out his wit to keep people shaking their heads. This time, he wanted to end the day in his favor, which led him to write this.
This was in reply to Jalen Brunson’s tweet suggesting Hart has to do the dirty work against the Memphis Grizzlies. Knowing his All-Star teammate focuses on scoring, he took the opportunity to troll Brunson with this epic comeback.
Have to get home so I can sleep. One of us has to play defense tomorrow https://t.co/Wuic1O29bM

He did not reply anything to Karl-Anthony Towns’ post as he is one of the better defenders on the Knicks. But he knew Brunson could not come back from that one, hence went head on against his Villanova teammate. The trio’s attention will now switch to their game against the Grizzlies tomorrow.
Two of the six best teams in the league going head on is going to be an exciting matchup. Hart though, might have given an indication of what he needs to do tomorrow against the likes of Ja Morant and the elite perimeter players the Grizzlies possess.
