Fat Joe Rips Nets Fans Who Are Now Going For The Knicks

by

Fat Joe has always been a New York Knicks fan. Whenever there is a Knicks game in town, you can expect Fat Joe to be there. However, as a fan of the Knicks, he understands what it is like to have a broken heart. The Knicks are not exactly a beacon of success these days. Although, they are trying to change those fortunes. They have one of the hottest teams in the entire NBA, and New Yorkers are actually looking forward to the postseason. That said, there are others who are still preparing for the worst.

Overall, this Knicks’ success has created a conundrum for some fans. This is because a lot of New Yorkers abandoned the Knicks for the Brooklyn Nets. Of course, this was because of the addition of KD and Kyrie. Now, however, both of those men are gone and the Knicks are the better New York team. As Fat Joe explained in a recent social media stream, some Nets fans are trying to migrate back to the Knicks. The legendary artist is not having any of this, however, as he told those fickle fans to stay in their lane.

Fat Joe Wants Nets Fans To Stay In Their Lane

“My Knicks? Phenomenal. Hottest team in the NBA. What’s up? [Jalen] Brunson back, we beat The Joker. You gotta stop,” Joe said. “Look, do me a favor, fake people. All of a sudden, I’m driving around New York, and I’m seeing Knick jackets, Knick hats, they coming up to me, ‘Yeah, brother, let’s go Knicks!’ No, you is Brooklyn. You know how you on Instagram and get them fake little ads now, ‘Yo Brooklyn Nets fans?’ My, how the tables have turned!”

Overall, the artist makes a great point. These days, there are too many fake fans who like to change their allegiances. Real fans suffer through the pain of their team’s losses. If you’re just going to switch teams based on who is winning, well, your values are in the gutter. Either way, it is nice to see the Knicks doing something right for once. Let us know what you think of Fat Joe’s comments, down below.

On Monday night (Feb. 13) against the Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson put on a show in front of the home fans.  Brunson ended up with 40 points in a 124-106 win at Madison Square Garden.  The Garden was packed to see the cross-town rivals go at it, which included some A-list celebrities.  One celebrity was excited not just for the Knicks, but for Brunson’s performance.

The former Dallas Mavericks guard shot 71% from the field, including 66% from three-point range.  After his postgame interview, Brunson and the “Fancy” rapper met on the court where they hugged and conversed before taking a photo.  We can only wonder what was said between the two as Brunson covered his mouth with his towel while talking to Iggy.  The 32-year-old rapper has been known to be a fan of basketball.

Back in 2016, she dated former Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young before dating rapper Playboi Carti.  Carti was recently arrested for allegedly choking his girlfriend, who is pregnant with his child.  The former Grand Hustle artist took to Twitter to discuss the situation.  In a series of tweets, she claims that this is who he is, and it is not new.

“Been there. Done that. Warned you.”

“Imagine having a pregnant girlfriend and pretending they don’t exist until it comes out you like to abuse them too”

Iggy went on to discuss their 2-year-old son as well, claiming the 26-year-old rapper rarely sees his son.  Lately, the “Black Widow” rapper has been the talk of the Internet as she has started her OnlyFans page.  She is expected to release her fourth studio album this year.

Jalen Brunson Links With Iggy Azalea After Knicks Win

by

Jalen Brunson has been a godsend for the New York Knicks. Before this season, the Knicks had only reached the NBA Playoffs once in the last nine seasons. Additionally, they had lost their last seven straight games against their cross-town rival the Brooklyn Nets coming into the 2022-23 season. But, Brunson came to New York from Dallas at the start of the year to change all of that. In Dallas, alongside superstar Luka Doncic, Brunson averaged 16.3 points and 4.8 assists per game last year. Now, as a Knick, he is averaging a career-high in points at 23.9 per game and a career-high in assists at 6.2 per game.

With this elevated performance, the fifth-year point guard is ending losing streaks and has the Knicks in a prime position to earn a playoff spot. On Monday (Feb. 13), the Knicks finally beat the Brooklyn Nets 124-106 in Madison Square Garden. The Nets, now without their former stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant who left via trade last week, had beaten the Knicks in their first two matchups this season. However, with a now weakened roster, Brunson and his team took full advantage. Jalen racked up 40 points and 5 assists in the victory. At 32-27 now, the Knicks are the 7th-ranked team in the Eastern Conference and sit just 0.5 games back of the Miami Heat at 6th. And Jalen Brunson is to thank for that.

Jalen Brunson and Iggy Chat

After his ritualistic postgame interview following the team’s victory Monday, Brunson was given props by a fellow celeb. With an on-court rendezvous, rapper Iggy Azalea greeted Brunson. Congratulating him on the win, Azalea hugged Jalen and the two proceeded to chat for a while. There was no audio of the conversation, which led fans to be curious about what the two could be discussing. The ball player and the rapper do not have much in common, and there have not been any rumors of romance preceding this. So, it is left up to the viewers’ imaginations what their conversation could have consisted of.

Regardless, Iggy as had quite an eventful start to 2023 herself. Along with the controversial launch of her OnlyFans page, Iggy teased a new project soon to release. Titled Hotter Than Hell, it will be Azalea’s first full-length release since 2021’s The End of an Era and its subsequent deluxe. It seems like Iggy has a lot going for her lately, much like her new friend Jalen Brunson.

LeBron James Drops Triple Double and Moves Up All-Time Assists List in Win Over Knicks

LeBron James is going crazy right now. During a trip to Madison Square Guarde to play the Knicks, King James dropped 28 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds en route to a win and becoming the fourth all-time leader in NBA assists. Need more? He inched even closer to passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the All-Time scoring list.

In taking the fourth spot on the list, King James passed up a couple of point Gods in Mark Jackson (10,334) and Steve Nash (10,335).

“It’s amazing because that’s just what I love to do and get my guys involved,” said James to ESPN. “Anytime you link with some of the greats — Mark Jackson played here, was drafted here by the Knicks, so it’s a super cool thing. And obviously, we know when Nash was [in the league]; I played against him for many, many years. His ability to pass the ball was very uncanny.”

You can see highlights from the win below.

Lakers Reportedly Targeting This Young Knicks Star

by

If you are a Lakers fan, you know that your team is in need of some help right now. They are starting to fall behind in the Western Conference, and it is going to take a small miracle to actually make the playoffs. Overall, it is just a negative situation, especially with Anthony Davis gone.

In just a couple of weeks from now, it will be the trade deadline. Of course, the trade deadline is one of the best opportunities for a team to get better. However, it will be hard for the Lakers to do anything as their assets have dwindled over the last few years.

Lakers & Knicks

According to Sean Deveney of Heavy.com, the Lakers are reportedly looking toward a young player for the New York Knicks. That player just so happens to be Cam Reddish. Reddish is a player who some feel hasn’t truly gotten a fair shake with the teams he has played for.

Moreover, in terms of assets that would be going back to New York, it is believed that Patrick Beverley and Kendrick Nunn would have to be part of the deal. Overall, this is not the biggest trade the Lakers could do, however, every little bit helps at this point.

LeBron James wants to win his fifth title, and the Lakers cannot do it as presently constructed. However, it’s hard to see Reddish truly moving the needle here. No matter what, the Lakers need more.

Let us know what you think of this potential move, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

Luka Doncic Drops Historic 60-21-10 Triple-Double in Win Over Knicks

Luka Doncic is HIM. The Dallas Mavericks superstar achieved a triple-double that no one in league history has ever achieved. He scored 60 points, 21 rebounds, and 10 assists in an insane comeback victory over the New York Knicks.

Doncic’s performance came with an intentionally missed free throw, which he rebounded and put back in to take the game to OT, which he thought was the game-winner. “Then I see it’s tied. I was like, ‘Oof.’ I didn’t know what to do,” Doncic said to ESPN.

The performance topped Dirk Nowitzki’s franchise scoring record while setting a new career high for Doncic in rebounds.

Doncic shot 21 of 31 from the field and 16 of 22 from the foul line. He scored 38 points after halftime to help the Mavericks overcome a 12-point hole.

You can see the highlights below.

Knicks Hit With Stiff Tampering Punishment

by

This offseason, the New York Knicks splurged in free agency and got themselves Jalen Brunson. At the time, it was believed that the signing was simply too rich for a player of Brunson’s skill. However, Brunson has proven his critics wrong as he has been amazing so far this season.

Consequently, Brunson has been able to help carry the Knicks to an 18-13 record. The team is starting to make big moves in the Eastern Conference and there is a sense that they could even win a playoff series. Additionally, they are on an eight-game winning streak.

Knicks Caught Tampering

Unfortunately, like many free agent signing throughout the NBA, the Knicks and Brunson were a case of tampering. With so many deals taking place just mere seconds after the deadline, it seems likely that teams are in the business of tampering. Today, however, the Knicks were officially punished for the offense.

In the NBA Communications press release below, you can see that the league has officially taken away the Knicks’ second-round pick in 2025. Second-round picks seem to be the common punishment for tampering at this point. Overall, it is hard to be surprised by this decision.

Considering the Knicks have gotten themselves a future franchise staple in Brunson, there is a good chance they don’t care about the punishment. Second-round picks rarely pan out, and most teams tend to trade these away. Regardless, other teams have been put on notice that the NBA will not turn a blind eye to tampering.

It will be interesting to see if any other teams get hit with similar punishments this season. That said, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world. Additionally, give us your thoughts on this punishment, in the comments down below.
