14 Months Before Signing $81,000,000 Contract, Josh Hart Spent Ridiculous $3000 Plus on Apple AirPods

Josh Hart has signed a four-year contract extension with the New York Knicks worth $81,000,000. The 28-year-old shooting guard has been phenomenal at the Big Apple since he arrived from Portland last season. This was when he made his career playoff debut with the Knicks, scoring a double-double in a Game 1 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

However, fourteen months before signing this contract extension, Hart had to face trolling from fans for a hilarious reason. Hart had his share of woes when owning Apple Airpods, which he admits to have lost several times. Replacing the lost Airpods, Josh has spent over $3000, for which the fans and the basketball community hilariously mocked him. Bleacher Report notes the screenshot of the number of Airpods missing from Josh’s iPhone in this tweet below.

Josh Hart has always been a great three and D player, marking an essential name for himself on the Knicks roster. Perhaps, his last post-season play was one of the highlight moments of his career. He led the Knicks to the Playoffs for the first time since 2021. Interestingly, this was also Hart’s first career playoff appearance. However, the Knicks were ousted 4-2 by the Miami Heat, thus ending their Playoff run.

Josh Hart admits to paying over $3000 to replace his lost Apple Airpods

Josh Hart is in the final stage of inking a $81,000,000 four-year extension with the New York Knicks. However, a year before netting this deal, Hart was hilariously trolled for spending exorbitantly to buy Apple’s AirPods. He has spent over $3000 to replace his AirPods every time he lost a pair.

Considering Hart’s income, he would buy the AirPods Pro 2nd Generation, which costs around $249. However, every time he bought one, he lost them almost immediately. Hart has lost so many AirPods that his Bluetooth connection list mentions more than six Airpods connected to his iPhone!

The fans in the comments think that Josh never tries to find his lost AirPods. However, considering how well he plays in the NBA, Hart can afford to buy more headphones or AirPods, even if he loses them. Here are some of the funniest reactions fans left in the post’s replies.

Jalen Brunson was once disgusted by one of Josh Hart’s tweets

Josh Hart might sometime be the epitome of posting funny tweets on Twitter. One of his tweets had once disgusted Jalen Brunson enough to cut contact with the Knicks superstar. In his tweet, Hart wrote,

“Have y’all ever tasted yall significant others breast milk? Asking for a friend.” 

Indeed, a tweet like such would be awkward and bewildering for anyone reading. After recently becoming a father, Hart may let his curiosity take the best of him. Responding to this tweet, Jalen Brunson replied, “Delete my number!” in a much-disgusted tone. Later, Brunson posted a video of him unfollowing Josh Hart and encouraging others to do the same on his IG story.
