The New York Knicks' Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart are facing a unique rivalry due to their NFL allegiances as the playoffs approach. Brunson supports the Philadelphia Eagles while Hart is a fan of the Washington Commanders, who recently upset the Detroit Lions to advance to the NFC Championship Game for the first time in over three decades.

Hart's exuberant celebration on social media highlighted the stakes as the playoffs progress. With the Eagles set to play against the Los Angeles Rams, an Eagles victory would set the stage for a showdown between the two teams, intensifying their friendly rivalry.
