When it comes to colorful personalities in the NBA, Josh Hart of the New York Knicks stands out as a fan-favorite interviewee. Known for his humor that swings from slapstick antics-like that memorable moment with Jalen Brunson-to a more tongue-in-cheek style, Hart keeps things lively.
And yes, he's even pondered the taste of breastmilk, adding another quirky layer to his persona.
In a recent game against the Memphis Grizzlies, Hart contributed to the Knicks' 130-119 victory at FedExForum. His stat line included five points, six rebounds, and six assists over 25 minutes of play.
Post-game, when questioned about his shooting prowess-highlighted by a streak of nine consecutive three-pointers last month-Hart's response was classic. With a grin, he turned to Brunson and quipped, “That's low-key disrespectful, right?” He continued with a playful jab, “Appreciate you calling me trash, but I don't know, I guess I'm just throwing the ball up there, and fortunately, it's going in the rim.”
Against the Grizzlies, Hart went 1-of-2 from deep, maintaining a career-best 40.9% from beyond the arc this season. This win was crucial for the Knicks, snapping a three-game losing streak and boosting their record to 49-28.
Off the court, Hart's humor extends to social media, where he's engaged in a playful back-and-forth with ESPN's Stephen A. Smith.
After Smith criticized the Knicks during their slump, Hart fired back with a cheeky “shut the hell up.” Smith, never one to back down, responded by saying Hart was “wetting the bed.”
Hart, of course, found the humor in it all.
