Josh Hart sends a warning to the NBA.

This is your warning shot. BAM! The NBA better take notice. The reigning defending NBA champions are not experiencing a hangover. It's just the opposite. They're hungrier than ever before. Take a look at what Josh Hart had to say recently.

According to Hart, he said the following while being interviewed at the US. Open, I don't think the Knicks have a big target, because I don't think anyone is picking us to win again. We're using it as fuel. We're still the hunters. We're not satisfied with one.

Obviously, the next goal is to get another one. So we're the hunters, and we like playing that game. You want to know why Josh Hart is so confident? Because he knows, this Knicks team, they understand the meaning of sacrifice. According to Hart, for us, it's about helping each other. We all are high character guys, and we realized that if everyone is willing to sacrifice, you don't have egos, and you're not selfish, then you're going to get far. You're going to get where you want to be at the end of the season.

And just like all of us, Josh Hart, he's looking forward to ring night. According to Hart, I can't wait to get that ring. I can't wait. It's gonna be a fun one. This will be electrifying. But before we get to opening night, there's preseason basketball the Knicks need to get through.

Now, I reviewed this in a video I dropped maybe a few weeks ago, but the Knicks finally made it official recently by dropping their full preseason schedule. Some of this might sound familiar to some of you guys who follow the channel each and every day, but I'm gonna review it anyways. This is the Knicks schedule for preseason. October 5th at Philly, October 8th versus the Wizards, October 12th versus the Timberwolves, and then October 15th versus the Raptors. Only one road game and it's a bus ride away.

Hey Philly, Miami, Boston, are you listening?

Did you listen to what Josh Hart had to say? Because I'm pretty sure that warning was for all of you, all the teams that had to upgrade because New York was so dominant. That's a warning shot to everyone. Nobody's picking the Knicks. Nobody thinks the Knicks can go back to back, that they can repeat, that they can be the team in the last eight years since the Golden State Warriors did it to win multiple championships back to back. But that's okay.

It's okay, it's fine. I don't need anybody to believe in the Knicks. Honestly, I don't even think the Knick players care who believes or who doesn't, because that entire locker room, they know they can do it again. They believe in themselves. They're hungrier than ever, and they hear everything that you're saying. Oh, the Knicks can't win. The Sixers are the best team in the East right now. Did you see all the talent that they have? They have LeBron James, Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Brown, Joellen Bede, VJ Edgecomb. They got themselves a bench. Yes, they got swept by the Knicks, but now they're better. Now, they're going to be able to beat the Knicks.

Team Chemistry, my friends. Did they trade for that? Anybody saw that? Did they sign Team Chemistry? And I was just blind and I didn't see it? Because last time I checked, only time put in can get you to where you want to be.

They have no time put in.

Nothing. The Boston Celtics, they have the same team minus Jalen Brown and replaced that with a highly injury prone PG-13.

So I don't know why anybody's talking about Boston. Certainly have no idea why people are talking about Philly. Like they've done anything. They were just swept. They were embarrassed. You know why they have the team they have right now? It's because of the Knicks. The Knicks beat them so badly.

Beat them down, destroy them, that they were forced to make all of these moves. And you know what's going to be even funnier?
