Knicks star and staunch Chelsea fan Josh Hart completely derailed his NBA Finals press conference to ROAST a reporter wearing an Arsenal jersey, Yankee Scores reports.
New York Knicks star and Chelsea fan, Josh Hart, couldn’t resist taking a jab at Arsenal.
During an NBA Finals news conference, asked about the Knicks’ upcoming second game against the San Antonio Spurs, Hart saw a reporter in an Arsenal shirt. Seizing the moment, he joked, “London is blue, never red.”
“Arsenal is not humble. Have they ever won the Champions League? How long have they been around? They never won that? Okay. London’s blue, never red. Up the [Chelsea].”

“Arsenal’s not humble because have you ever won a Champions League? How long have [Arsenal] been around? They’ve never won that? Okay,” Hart said while laughing.
No stranger to showing his allegiance, Hart often posts Chelsea content on social media and has been seen at games at Stamford Bridge too via ESPN.
After his big statement, he got up and walked out, mission accomplished.
“London is blue, never red, up the Chels,” he added.
So, it wasn’t surprising that ahead of the Champions League final, where Mikel Arteta’s team lost to Paris Saint-Germain 4-3 on penalties after 1-1 on regulation time, Hart openly supported Chelsea. The guy just can’t help tooting his horn for the Blues.
“You couldn’t teach the type of Hate Watch I’m on today,” Hart shared in a post on X ahead of the final.
Trump to attend Knicks vs Spurs
Yankee Scores earlier reported that President Donald Trump has disclosed that he will be live at Madison Square Garden on Monday night, June 8, for the NBA Finals, becoming the first U.S. president to attend the game.
Trump disclosed that he received an invitation from New York Knicks owner James Dolan, who wants him as a special guest when they take on the San Antonio Spurs.
