Knicks wing Josh Hart was the final player to join Team USA’s roster for the 2023 FIBA World Cup. The Hart selection had some fans snickering on social media, but Knicks fans know how much Hart can contribute to winning basketball.
It took Hart a few warmup games to find his footing, but in Saturday’s World Cup opener, he showed how he can contribute in the USA’s quest for the gold medal. The boys in red, white a blue struggled out of the gate against New Zealand, falling behind by 10 early, but the second unit quickly brought them back into the game.
