\u00a0partied at Chez Margaux<\/a>, a private supper club, with celebrities after their ticker-tape\u00a0parade\u00a0on June 18 \u2014 and plenty of photos made the rounds online.<\/p>\nHillman, who was with Hart for much of the summer, explained that it was overwhelming at times.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom my perspective\u2026 the one thing that caught me by surprise is you never really hear about what happens after the win \u2014 you could just kind of think it\u2019s all celebrations and fun,\u201d Hillman said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be honest, I don\u2019t think they got to really even enjoy it until multiple weeks after\u2026 when he got to Europe [in July] and then even when he got back [to New York] back from Europe, he had an equally crazy week with appearances at Fanatics Fest and the [2026 FIFA] World Cup and other things.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the moment, the buzzer sounds, it\u2019s press, and you do all of these different things, and then it\u2019s trying to celebrate with your teammates out pretty late \u2014 and then 6 AM, \u2018Good Morning America\u2019, at 7 AM [it\u2019s the] \u2018Today Show\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026 So they were just running a million miles an hour for two weeks. And obviously, I was kind of there with him for a lot of it and it was just 24-7. It was brand deals and parades and just integrations into the schedule, it was a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hart and Hillman have history.<\/p>\n
They became best friends in high school, and Hart moved in with Hillman and his family for two years before he went to play at Villanova.<\/p>\n
Hart and Hillham along with their wives, Shannon Hart and Samara Hillman, vacationed together in France \u2014 and indulged in wine tastings at Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages, a winery in the Pauillac appellation of the Bordeaux region in July.<\/p>\n
Hart said him and Shannon also enjoyed some R&R in Capri and Rome before heading back to the United States to attend weddings earlier this month.<\/p>\n
\u201cI went to Donovan [Mitchell] and Coco [Jones\u2019] wedding and then we just got back from KAT and Jordyn [Woods\u2019],\u201d Hart said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was really nice, both of them were. Really cool ceremonies [and] receptions\u2026 They were both good vibes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hart is looking forward to some downtime with Shannon and their three-year-old twin sons, named Hendrix and Haze, before the start of his tenth NBA season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re out East now,\u201d he said of spending the rest of his summer in The Hamptons. \u201cI think I\u2019m doing like two or three brand [commitments] in the Hamptons. August is kind of my time to just work out and get away from the stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hart isn\u2019t the only one securing brand deals.<\/p>\n
Shannon, who has 95,000 Instagram followers, recently signed with Digital Brand Architects for representation.<\/p>\n
In 2026, she partnered with brands such as, Vita Coco, Maybelline, Maker\u2019s Mark, AT&T, Reeses, and Blueair US.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s all led to her next big project, which Hart hinted will be announced soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Knicks stars Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart aren\u2019t finished celebrating the team\u2019s championship run yet.
