Josh Hart Jokes That Knicks Need Anne Hathaway, Suni Lee in the House for Playoff Run

The No. 3 New York Knicks will begin their playoff run vs. the No. 6 Detroit Pistons on Saturday night time, however guard Josh Hart thinks he might have already discovered a cheat code for a deep push.

Talking on a latest episode of his Roommates Present podcast, which he hosts with fellow New York star Jalen Brunson and entrepreneur Matt Hillman, Hart quipped that the Knicks want both actress Anne Hathaway or gymnast Sunisa Lee in the home for every of their playoff video games in the event that they need to get a powerful efficiency out of 27-year-old wing OG Anunoby.

Anunoby has had some actually robust video games this season, and Hathaway and Lee had been notably current at just a few of these. So in Hart’s thoughts, convey these two followers again and you’ve got unlocked peak OG.

“OG, too, has been playing really well,” Hillman mentioned on the episode. “What have you guys seen from OG recently?”

“We need Suni or Anne Hathaway at every game during this playoff run,” Hart instantly joked in reply.

Watch that beneath:

After Hart’s joke, although, Brunson did take a second to reply the query in critical.

“Honestly, what I’ve seen from him is the person who’s coming everyday to do his job, work on his game,” the guard mentioned of Anunoby. “When we needed it most he just stepped up. He’s obviously a quiet guy, he’s a soft spoken guy, but when he goes out there he’s a different person. And you can see by the way he plays. I don’t want to say ‘surprise,’ because I don’t think any of us up here were surprised. I think it was just the timing of what he did when he did it was just perfect for us and our team.”

The numbers do not lie—Anunoby very clearly stepped up his recreation over the past two months. In March, he averaged 23.1 factors a recreation plus 5.3 rebounds, whereas thus far in April he is at 22.3 factors and 5.5 assists. And for what it is price, he dropped 18 factors on December 3, 2024 and 32 factors on April 6—performances for which Lee was certainly in attendance. When Hathaway was there on November 13, 2024, he recorded a 14-point, nine-rebound recreation. So, although he was kidding round, possibly there’s something to Hart’s level in spite of everything …

Paging Hathaway and Lee … how does it really feel to be the important thing to the Knicks success?
