In the world of sports, some teammates extend their teamwork beyond the court, and nothing exemplifies this better than the recent roast battle between New York Knicks teammates Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart. The two NBA stars, who share a long-standing friendship dating back to their college days at Villanova, took their playful banter to the next level on the popular show “Hot Ones: Truth or Dab.”
The episode, filled with laughter and good-natured ribbing, culminated in a roast battle that had fans and fellow players alike chuckling at the duo’s antics. Brunson, known for his quick wit and sharp tongue, emerged victorious by bringing up a rather sensitive subject: Hart’s ejection from a game against the Pacers last season.
As the story goes, during a heated moment in the game, Hart was seen shouting for a foul and then turning to referee Dannica Mosher. The details of their exchange remained a mystery until Brunson, seizing the opportunity during the roast, revealed that Hart had cheekily reminded the referee of her lack of playoff assignments that season. This audacious remark earned Hart his second technical foul and an early exit from the game.
