The New York Knicks secured a 113-108 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Monday, thanks to standout performances from Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. While the team’s win was important, it was a hilarious post-game exchange between Brunson and his teammate Josh Hart that quickly stole the spotlight.
While speaking to reporters after the game, Hart shared a funny moment that occurred during the second half. According to Hart, Brunson was quite vocal about one particular desire throughout the game, humorously referencing Raptors star Gradey Dick.
Hart jokingly told reporters that Brunson kept saying, “I want Dick. I’ll take Dick.” However, Brunson quickly denied the claim. The star point guard took to his X account and responded to Hart’s words. “He’s lying on my name,” Brunson wrote.
He’s lying on my name.
