As soon as Brunson saw Hart eating a pizza, he just stared him down and asked him if he was done chewing. Brunson continued to stare down Hart but eventually broke down with a smile and turned his face away to hide it.

Though Hart had earlier said, “This pizza is hitting”, he went to his official Twitter account to complain about the pizza. He stated that they do not cut corners. Hart tweeted, “They don’t cut corners @LedoPizza.”

Hopefully, the pizza place with take up Hart’s advice to serve him better in the future.

Hart and Brunson fooling around

Brunson did not have any comments regarding that, but the statement surely did make John Hart crack up. This led a lot of the other reporters in the room to laugh at Hart’s reaction as well.

The two went on to point out the obvious flaw in the plan, stating that he would have to come to a game in order to do so. So, it may not be surprising to see Hart’s college coach in attendance at Madison Square Garden in the near future.
