New York Knicks fans are in for a treat this summer because not only are Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart representing Team USA at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, but RJ Barrett and Evan Fournier are competing for their countries, too. Exhibition games have already started, but the real competition won’t begin until the end of August.
Off the court, Brunson and Hart are an easy source of entertainment, so the two of them playing for the national team for the first time together will bring many laughs. On the court, Brunson has been dubbed as a “natural leader” by Steve Kerr, and Hart will get to play in his first exhibition game this weekend after signing a four-year, $81 million extension with the Knicks earlier this week.
