On Roommates Show, Jalen Brunson spilled some beans about his long-time friend Josh Hart.

He recalled how the 29-year-old often got into fights with Donte DiVincenzo.

One such brawl didnt end well for Hart, as he faced a humiliating outcome.

This incident occurred during their time as Villanova college mates in the mid-2010s.

Hart and DiVincenzo likely had a heated argument in the gym.

It soon escalated to a breaking point.

DiVincenzo lost control and threw a weight at him.

Brunson recollected how this unexpected turn of events knocked Hart out.

However, Hart downplayed the severity of the incidents.

He claimed that the exchanges always stemmed from simple misunderstandings.

These instances only brought the trio closer.

Their chemistry became evident during the last season.

They orchestrated the Knicks impressive playoff run to the Eastern Conference Semi-finals and helped the franchise re-establish its image.

To keep this momentum going, the organization brought another Villanova alum, Mikal Bridges , to add to the mix.

However, this decision did the Knicks more harm than good.

As per the NBA insider, Mat Issa, DiVincenzo grew unhappy in Manhattan.

He was not fully on board with the franchises Villanova reunion plan and realized the inclusion of Bridges would likely cut into his playing time.

As a result, DiVincenzo was included in the trade package the Knicks recently offered to the Timberwolves.

The deal sent him and Julius Randle to Minneapolis, while Karl-Anthony Towns arrived in New York.

The hype around the Nova Knicks Boys fizzled out before they even shared the court again.

Meanwhile, the trade has reshaped the core of both franchises and has added an extra layer of excitement to their two matchups in the upcoming regular season..
