New York Knicks star Josh Hart didn't take kindly to Mikal Bridges turning the tables of recruitment on him.
Hart has made no secret about his desire to add Brooklyn Nets star and former Villanova University teammate Mikal Bridges to the Manhattan fold. Bridges, however, turned the tables on his fellow ex-Wildcat on Instagram, asking him to switch boroughs on a multi-photo post of Hart's, one depicting his studio work on ESPN/ABC during the ongoing NBA Finals.

Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports / Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports Despite Leon Rose's best efforts and Hart's continued insistence, the Knicks might find landing Bridges to be a bit of a tall task: the 27-year-old has been frequently tagged as a franchise face in Brooklyn ever since he was brought in as the main piece of the Kevin Durant trade with Phoenix. Trades between the Knicks and the Nets are incredibly rare: the teams have bartered on only four occasions, most recently in 1983.
Bridges posted respectable numbers but nonetheless struggled in his first full season on Atlantic Avenue, putting in 19.6 points on just over 43 percent shooting. His career has perhaps been defined by futile advances from the Knicks: he told the "Tidal League" podcast in 2023 that he expected to be drafted by the Knicks upon his NBA entry in 2018 but New York landed Kevin Knox with the ninth overall pick instead.
In any event, Hart will be back on the airwaves come Wednesday night, as he'll continue his Finals coverage for Game 3 of the championship series between Boston and Dallas .
