New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson said he took it easy on Josh Hart after his Eagles eliminated the Commanders.

The Philadelphia Eagles soared into the NFC Championship Game with a commanding 55-23 victory over the Washington Commanders, sparking lighthearted banter between New York Knicks teammates Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart.

With his Eagles in control and cruising toward a spot in Super Bowl 2025, Jalen Brunson didn’t hesitate to toss a jab toward teammate Josh Hart.

Hart understands how All-Star selections work. He knows his chances of being named an All-Star reserve are slim. The Knicks already have two All-Star starters — their first since Earl Monroe and Walt Frazier in 1975 — and the competition for reserve spots is fierce.

Josh Hart's wife recently poked fun at both her husband and Jalen Brunson by dubbing the duo as "Dumb and Dumber."

Among the top candidates who weren’t named to the All-Star Game are Cleveland’s Jarrett Allen, Atlanta’s Trae Young, Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball, Miami’s Bam Adebayo, Chicago’s Zach LaVine, Sacramento’s De’Aaron Fox, Sacramento’s Domantas Sabonis, Phoenix’s Devin Booker and Dallas’ Kyrie Irving.

Josh Hart is averaging 13.9 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists with the ability to play any position for Knicks.
