Karl-Anthony Towns just spilled some serious tea, calling out Josh Hart as the biggest complainer to referees on the New York Knicks. Towns made the revelation during his interview with Sean Evans on Hot Ones, and it sounds like the production crew was right there with him, laughing at the blunt answer.
KAT’s Hilarious Confession on Hot Ones
When asked the burning question, Towns didn’t hesitate. At the 15:45 mark of the interview, he dropped two simple words: “Josh Hart.” The response got a chuckle from the crew behind the camera, which Towns immediately picked up on. “Why’d y’all laugh? Did y’all agree with that or something?” Towns joked, “Everyone behind the camera, I just want y’all to know: y’all just clowned Josh Hart. That’s crazy for y’all to say , in New York, too.” It sounds like it was a consensus pick, even if Hart himself might argue the point.
Hart’s Impact, Complaining and All
Now, whether Hart would agree with Towns is up for debate, but KAT seems pretty sure about who’s constantly bending the ear of the officials. And honestly, it’s not like Hart isn’t a massive factor for the Knicks. He was a key reason they made that 2025-26 title run, putting up solid numbers in the playoffs: 10.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.7 steals per game. According to Towns, that relentless complaining to officials about calls was just another part of his overall game. You gotta wonder if all that chatter helps him get under opponents’ skin, too.
What This Means for the Upcoming Season
So, as the NBA season gets underway, you know every time Josh Hart gets close to a ref, fans are going to be thinking about this. Towns put him on blast, and now the league is watching. Will Hart tone it down, or lean into the reputation? Either way, you can bet officials will have this little tidbit in the back of their minds. Get ready for some prime Josh Hart action, on the court and with the whistle-blowers!
