NBA Stars Clash Over Baseball Loyalties | New York Knicks News

NBA stars Josh Hart and Donovan Mitchell turned up the heat on X with a hilarious baseball feud—Hart, a diehard Yankees fan, roasted Mitchell over the Mets’ dismal season, even posting the NL East standings to prove his point. Mitchell, whose dad works for the Mets and who once was a batboy for their affiliate, fired back with pride, reminding fans he’s not getting advice from a Yankee supporter. The banter’s extra spicy because Hart’s great-uncle was Elston Howard, the first Black Yankee, and Hart even threw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium in 2024. Meanwhile, the Yankees are crushing it in the AL East, while the Mets sink deeper into last place—17.5 games behind. It’s a perfect blend of sports rivalry, family legacy, and fan passion, proving even NBA legends can’t resist a good baseball jab.
