On Thursday night, they revealed the 2024 NBA All-Star starters. Jalen Brunson, the guard for the New York Knicks, was one of the noteworthy absences. Jalen Brunson is back to playing fantastic basketball for the New York Knicks in his second season. But he narrowly missed being selected as a starter for the Eastern Conference All-Star team in 2024. Josh Hart, Brunson’s teammate, reacted in a more humorous way to being rejected, which disappointed many Knicks fans.

After Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers and Damian Lillard of the Milwaukee Bucks, Brunson placed third among East guards in the All-Star vote. Although many predicted Brunson would win the starting guard position, Haliburton was seen as a near-lock to receive the starting spot. However, Lillard, who earned his seventh All-Star selection and secured the first starting position in his 12-year career, emerged as the winner.

According to Fred Katz of The Athletic, Hart made fun of his standout teammate caustically when asked if he had heard about Brunson being passed over. Josh Hart said:

Yeah fu**ing loser.

Particularly, since their days as Villanova Wildcats teammates in college, Hart and Brunson have remained close friends. In addition, during their brief time together on the Knicks, the two have a history of teasing one another. Thus, Hart’s response was free of malice.

With a glorious year in New York, Brunson is averaging 26.5 points record, which is the 12th most in the NBA. Hart used the chance to mock Brunson after the votes were counted, despite his obvious belief that his teammate is among the best two guards in the Eastern Conference.

Jalen Brunson allegedly didn’t take it too personally when he wasn’t chosen as an All-Star starter. Rather than complain about his exclusion, the Knicks star chose to applaud Damian Lillard when questioned about being left out. Furthermore, Tom Thibodeau, the coach of the Knicks, discussed Brunson’s rejection and the intense competition for the ten All-Star starting spots, which are highly sought after.

On the other hand, people reacted to Josh Hart’s message for Jalen Brunson. Hart expressed his feelings regarding Brunson’s candidacy in a very obvious manner earlier on Thursday, threatening to stage a riot if he was not chosen. Trolling is kind of entertaining because fans are aware that they are close friends rather than foes. For more reactions, scroll below:

Brunson has guided the Knicks to a 28-17 record and a fourth-place finish in the East in his second season with the team. This includes the current five-game victory run that leads the East for New York.
If Brunson didn’t make the starting roster despite his strong play in the first half of the season, he should still have hope of being selected for the All-Star squad, which would be the first pick of his career.
