Karl-Anthony Towns Couldn’t Believe Josh Hart Brought His Pizza Obsession Into the Press Conference

When pizza cravings hit, they hit hard—just ask Josh Hart of the New York Knicks. The team is riding high in the conference finals series . After a thrilling Game 2 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, Hart took postgame celebrations to the next level by bringing a box of The L’industrie pepperoni pizza to the press conference. With a slice in one hand and the box in the other, the standout forward caught everyone off guard.

The pizza party continued as Hart asked, “Are you a crust guy?” to which Towns replied, “It all depends if it’s garlic crust or not. Or that good crust. Like, a good crust pizza.”

Only a standout yet hilarious player like Hart could pull off such antics. But the pizza scene wasn’t the only unforgettable moment of the night.

Hart’s Hilarious Analytics Take Leaves Towns Speechless

During the press conference, Hart delivered a hilarious rant about analytics that left Karl-Anthony Towns utterly speechless.

When asked why he sidesteps analytics, Hart said, “I’m never a huge analytics guy; at a certain point, they’re lamp posts to a drunk person. You can lean on them, but they won’t get you home. At some point, you gotta have a good feel for the game.”

Towns was so taken aback by Hart’s response that he actually took off his sunglasses on stage.

Well, all these antics came after another convincing night in which Hart became the show stopper. The standout forward played for 33 minutes and scored 26 points, had 7 assists, and 4 rebounds. Towns also had a standout impact by recording a double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds. Meanwhile, Jalen Brunson’s 19 points and 14 assists performance led the Knicks to a 109-93 win.

The Knicks currently hold a 2-0 lead in the conference finals series against the Cavaliers. Looking ahead, Game 3 will tip off at 8 PM EDT on 23rd May at Rocket Arena.
