"Our job is to play basketball. You've got people getting up at 6 am doing 12-hour shifts. Those guys are tired." pic.twitter.com/mG5qGFBYbT— Knicks Videos (@sny_knicks) March 8, 2023
“You got people getting up at 6 a.m. doing 12-hour shifts. Those guys are tired,” he continued. “For us, we’re playing a game. And obviously, we’re fortunate to play a game like this, but we have to keep that in perspective.”
Hart said it was simply the Knicks’ job to “play a game that we love and compete at the highest level.”
The refreshingly honest take won praise on Twitter.
“Even in defeat josh hart wins,” wrote one fan.
