America has largely been NFL-obsessed, and even our NBA stars can’t resist! Josh Hart, the 29-year-old guard, is ditching his basketball mindset to embrace the Sunday Night Football excitement fully. He’s not just cheering for his favorites—he’s pulling his teammates, Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson, into the action, too! It’s game time, and Hart’s ready to bring the heat.

Josh Hart made a public declaration on his X handle. Clarifying his stance for the night when the Washington Commanders meet the Philadelphia Eagles for a showdown, EVERYONE needs to know which side the New York Knicks star is on. After all, the hooper spent good years in Washington growing up.

The Commanders’ superfan wrote: “We aren’t friends nor teammates today. We are just coworkers. I don’t like yall, yall don’t like me @jalenbrunson1 @KarlTowns” Yes, the war has been declared. Josh Hart has made it clear that there is no room for the Eagles’ fans Jalen Brunson and KAT. Brunson’s support for the Eagles runs strong as he attended the Eagles game against the Atlanta Falcons in mid-September at the Lincoln Financial Field with none other than the Eagles legend Jason Kelce. Further, the Knicks point guard grew up in South New Jersey, which is largely known for being the Eagles fandom.

Moving on, Hart’s support for his favorite seems a bit more fierce as Washington currently has a 9-5 record compared to the Eagles’ 12-2.

Thus, the added and dedicated support could go a long way for the NFL teams. And yes, Josh Hart is all about dedication. Not just for the Knicks but also for his favorite football team. But this unique ‘beef’ that the 29-year-old has started, will go on for a while. Why? Well, new players (read: Karl-Anthony Towns) have reacted to the open rivalry.

And things are hilariously serious at this point.

Karl-Anthony Towns makes sure to reply to Josh Hart’s declaration

It’s a full-on X war among the New York Knicks teammates Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns. The ex-Timberwolves 7 ft giant has come forward in support of his Philadelphia Eagles. But, KAT didn’t think it’s necessary to ‘waste’ his words on a Commanders fan. So, he replied with a single emoji. And dare we say it, things are heating up for SNF, but here it’s more hilarious than you can think of!

This is what Karl-Anthony Towns had to say to Hart:

KAT just chose to flip off Josh Hart (inserts hysterically laughing emoji). After all, Towns claims himself to be a “born and bred” Eagles fan. Just like his teammate, he also grew up in New Jersey and has been supporting the Eagles since the very beginning. He has even gone on the record to say that Donovan McNabb and Brain Westbrook, among other stars, brought the Eagles to Super Bowl XXXIX in 2005.

However, coming back to Towns’ response, it has to be the ‘pre-game highlight’ for the NFL showdown! This rivalry will have a separate fan base in days to come! But wait, Jalen Brunson has yet to respond, and who knows what he will say? Will it be a verbal war or an emoji reaction like Towns?

Josh Hart’s NFL rivalry with teammates Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson has sparked some hilarious trash talk. The Commanders vs. Eagles showdown just got more fun with Hart’s fiery posts. But behind the playful banter, their bond grows stronger. The NFL heat may rise, but their on-court chemistry stays solid. Let the games begin!
