New York Knicks guard Josh Hart returned with another Jalen Brunson big ‘head’ joke on Thursday after the two-time All-Star got hit on the head with a ball mistakenly by LaMelo Ball on Wednesday. The Charlotte Hornets guard attempted a no-look pass against the Knicks, only for it to be blocked by Brunson’s head.

This will not be the first time Josh Hart has made fun of Jalen Brunson’s head. During a 2024 episode of the online show “Rent Free,” Hart said that a “one size fits all” hat didn’t fit Brunson because of his head. Furthermore, during a September 2024 episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Hart jokingly listed “the size of his head” when asked how he teases Brunson and called him “Bobblehead Brunson.”
