New York Knicks wing Josh Hart is one of the biggest personalities on the team, especially when surrounded by his long-time teammates, Jalen Brunson and Donte DiVincenzo.
Hart got carried away on Wednesday evening during New York’s comeback win in Game 2 against the Indiana Pacers. He walked up to Hall of Famer Reggie Miller, who was commentating the matchup, and said, "I don't know if you heard, but I think they said, 'F**k you.' I didn't know if you heard!"

Knicks fans dislike Miller for various reasons, as Miller and his Pacers had a number of postseason battles against New York -- most notably when he made his iconic choking gesture toward the end of Game 5 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals after New York blew a 12-point lead.
Hart thrived in the 130-121 win, finishing the night with 19 points, 15 rebounds, and 7 assists on 66.7% shooting from the field while playing all 48 minutes. He has been one of the biggest reasons for the Knicks' playoff success in the absence of Julius Randle.
The Knicks lead the series 2-0, with a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics seeming like the most likely outcome. However, numerous injuries to key contributors may extend this matchup longer than hoped.
Hart and the Knicks return to action on Friday evening for Game 3 in Indiana.
