New York Knicks star Josh Hart let a box of Mike and Ike’s get the best of him in a hilariously awkward postgame press conference after the Knicks’ Game 2 win.

Hart, notorious for sneaking food into his postgame pressers, was up to his usual tricks on Monday night. Following his team’s 104-101 victory against the Philadelphia 76ers, he dug into his pockets for a sweet snack during teammate Jalen Brunson’s answer to a reporter’s question.

Cameras caught Hart noisily pouring out the box of candy, which caused Brunson to stop and give Hart an annoyed look. Hart sheepishly muttered, “Sorry,” before snickering at Brunson.

On Tuesday, Hart retweeted a video of the awkward moment with the caption, “Hopefully one day I’ll get a deal with Mike and Ike and get my face on a box lol.”

This is hardly the first time Hart has smuggled a snack or two into his postgame press conferences. Last April, the Knicks guard memorably munched on some grub while Brunson was trying to answer a question, drawing the immediate ire of his teammate.

Though these choice postgame moments may not seem it, Hart and Brunson share a robust chemistry on and off the court dating back to their Villanova days. The two also co-host a basketball podcast, “Roommates Show,” in which, as modern slang goes, the vibes are immaculate. 

When it comes to Josh Hart, they truly are— NBA fans loved his candy-eating moment.

48 minutes tonight fueled by Nerds. Unbelievable.

Hart, Brunson, and the Knicks will look to extend their 2-0 series lead over the 76ers in Game 3 on Thursday.
