And the cameras were right on spot when Josh Hart stuck his thumb in Jalen Brunson‘s bumhole.
The NBA Cup celebration was supposed to be about champagne, smiles, and bragging rights. Instead, it turned into a moment nobody asked for and nobody can unsee.
Cameras caught Josh Hart doing something very Josh Hart–like. Or maybe very not-like. Depending on how much coffee you had.
During the Knicks’ celebration, Hart appeared to pull off an extremely questionable prank on teammate Jalen Brunson. Let’s keep it polite and call it “a gesture that absolutely crossed the line.”
Clips spread fast. Slower than Brunson’s crossover, but fast enough. Fans froze frames. Comment sections exploded. Group chats lit up like Christmas morning.
Nah Josh Hart is OUT OF POCKET for this 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/JmblGQGNmC

The most shocking moment of the trophy lift came as Brunson reached out to get his hands on the cup.
At that moment, Hart could be seen sticking his finger up his teammate’s booty.
A stunned Brunson instantly spun around before glaring at Hart, as celebrations continued around them.
Hart later took to social media to poke fun at the incident.
In his first X post, he wrote: “Damn in 4k…” followed by four laughing emojis.
Just 40 minutes later, he posted again, joking: “It was AI.”
At the end of the day, the Knicks still won. The banner still counts. The celebration still happened. But this moment will now live in highlight reels nobody wanted.
Josh Hart will laugh it off. Brunson will probably never forget it. And fans will pretend they didn’t see it while absolutely seeing it.
Next celebration? Keep the confetti. Keep the champagne and keep your hands where cameras cannot ruin your life.
