‘You still owe me $100’: Jalen Brunson gets into hilarious altercation with Josh Hart over Commanders-Eagles

As expected, the New York Knicks won a resounding victory against the short-handed New Orleans Pelicans. The 118-85 victory didn’t feature too many jaw-dropping moments of the game given its nature. However, there was a post-match incident between Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart that went viral on social media.

An argument began in the Knicks locker room as Hart spoke to reporters. The ultra-large Washington commanders hat he donned became the topic of conversation, sparking a feud with Brunson. Hart, of course, was born in Maryland and so the team he supported his whole life was the Commanders.

While Hart bragged about the Commanders’ latest 42-19 victory over the Titans, the Knicks point guard stepped in to humiliate his teammate. Brunson decided to spoil Hart’s celebration by declaring that the Eagles (the former’s favorite team) were leading the NFC East division. Commanders, on the other hand, come second.

“You have 2^sd in the division…We’ll bust your ass”, Brunson referenced the Eagles’ 26-18 win over the Commanders earlier in November.

After a series of taunts, Brunson reminded Hart of the $100 bet he allegedly lost. Although the details of this bet remain unknown, Brunson was quick to point out that Hart had not yet paid his dues.

“You still owe me $100.” Where is my money? Brunson was furious.

Brunson’s anger was sparked by Hart’s jab about his large head, declaring the hat to be a “JB size.”

“I saw this hat, I just put it on…Small, medium, large, and it said ‘JB.’ So I was like, ‘Woah, how big is he?’ Hart mocked his teammate.

Hart teasing Brunson about his big head is nothing new. Before the start of the 2024-2025 season, New York Knicks players made an appearance on the court. Late Night Show with Seth Myers. During the episode, Hart revealed the constant jokes he would make regarding JB’s noticeably large head.

“The size of his head. This is the first… Bobblehead Brunson, Hart joked.

The constant playful banter is a sign of their close relationship, dating back to their days as teammates at Villanova. They have a strong bond, on and off the field. And any such teasing between the two is just for show.
