New York Knicks forward Josh Hart isn’t thrilled with regular NBA fans being priced out of getting into the Finals at Madison Square Garden. Hart called the fact that the cheapest tickets are ~$7,000 “crazy” and ridiculous.”
Josh Hart, who has been with the New York Knicks since 2022, made a key contribution to the Knicks taking a 2-0 series lead into Game 3, particularly with his performance in the opening contest of the series.
In Game 1, Hart became the first player in NBA history to record at least 15 rebounds, six assists, and four steals in a playoff game in under 30 minutes of play — Hart was on the court for 27 minutes.

Not only is Hart being a key contributor on the court, but he’s looking out Knicks fans off the court, as well, as he voiced concerns with NBA Finals tickets, particularly those in New York at MSG, being so expensive, calling them “crazy” and “ridiculous.”
“I kind of wish the ticket prices weren’t as crazy as they are,” Hart told the media ahead of Game 3.
“I feel like a lot of people who have been waiting for this moment for a very long time unfortunately aren’t able to get into the building. The cheapest ticket $7,000, $8,000. That’s ridiculous.”
