    Josh Hart takes a trolling jab at two Knicks' division opponents

    New York Knicks forward Josh Hart continues to establish himself as a troll to other fan bases.

    Hart's latest playful jab came on X/Twitter, as he responded to a video of the Knicks' best "crowd pops" —i.e.  an explosion of joy from fans.

    Hart couldn't help but notice that two of the Knicks' biggest ovations last year came in opposing, division arenas — the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets .

    Of course, Hart didn't make the video, which included those highlights from Philadelphia and Brooklyn. He did choose to amplify it, though.

    Both incidents highlighted in the video were well-documented. The Knicks' come-from-behind victory in Brooklyn on January 23 featured Knicks fans overwhelmingly drowning out Nets fans. That shouldn't be a major surprise since the Knicks have been in New York City longer, and it's cheaper to attend Nets games than Knicks games. But the crowd was so loud that even former Nets wing and now-Knicks wing Mikal Bridges called the crowd noise dispiriting .

    The highlight in Philadelphia came during the Knicks' first-round series victory over the 76ers . Knicks fans famously took over the arena during a Game 4 win in Philadelphia which Joel Embiid called unacceptable . Sixers ownership had to donate tickets to Philadelphia residents to make sure Knicks fans did not overwhelm the arena again.

    It's a playful jab from Hart, but one that will surely put a bigger target on the Knicks' back in both arenas.
