Thibodeau and the Knicks have sent a brutal message to Hart following his "ego"comments. And while it can simply be chalked up as a harmless little comment from an outspoken player, New York has made it clear they expect more from one of their leaders.

In a span of 50 seconds late in regulation of the New York Knicks’ overtime victory against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday, Josh Hart forced a jump ball, recorded a steal, dunked and passed a man open for a 3.

New year, same Josh Hart. The do-everything guard was at his best again for the Knicks in Wednesday’s 119-103 win over the Jazz at Madison Square Garden, putting up a triple-double for a second straight game.
