On the night of the NBA trade deadline, Jalen Brunson was back at Villanova University for his jersey retirement when he got news that stunned him. The New York Knicks traded for Josh Hart, his former college teammate and close friend. Since then, the duo consistently delivered laughter to their fans and success to their team.
The trade brought Hart to New York in exchange for Cam Reddish, Svi Mykhailuk, Ryan Arcidiacono, and a 2023 lottery-protected first-round pick, as per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. It was a full-circle moment for Brunson and Hart, who won a national title together at Villanova in 2016. The deal also had a twist of irony. Arcidiacono, another former Wildcat and teammate of both Brunson and Hart, was part of the package headed to Portland.
Brunson’s unfiltered reaction, captured on video, quickly went viral. His response did not just light up social media; it underlined the deep bond forged during those college years. Sam Rose, son of Knicks president Leon Rose, broke the news to Brunson. It was fitting, happening just as his Villanova legacy was built.
As Hart stepped off Blazers’ court and onto New York’s roster, one thing was clear: the Nova reunion in the Garden was officially on.
Jalen Brunson And Josh Hart Throw A Playful Jab At Their Knicks Teammate
Karl-Anthony Towns stands 7 feet tall and wears a massive size 20 shoe. Because of his foot size, most of the shoes he wears are custom-made. Recently, a photo of him in Nike Air Force 1s had fans and teammates cracking jokes.
Josh Hart left stunned learning about his teammate’s shoe size and joked on Instagram that Towns was wearing “size 48s”. Jalen Brunson took it further and said, “In the locker room, we call them the Titanic 1s.” He also laughed about how tightly Towns laces them.
It’s all lighthearted fun and shows the intense chemistry between Towns and his Knicks teammates.
