Knicks’ Josh Hart is staunchly anti-Indiana: ‘Bottom of the barrel’

Josh Hart probably won’t be very popular at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. 

The outspoken Knicks forward railed on Indiana as an NBA locale during a months-old podcast episode that resurfaced after the Knicks clinched a second-round series against the Pacers.  

“If I don’t have to play the Indiana Pacers, I’m not stepping foot in that State,” Hart said in February on his ‘Roommates Show’ with Jalen Brunson. “I don’t want to be in Indiana for any All-Star break, for anything. I am not an Indiana guy.”

Hart, who isn’t shy about ribbing, said he found two solid food options in the Midwest city, and neither was St. Elmo’s Steakhouse.

“I will say they do got a White Castle there. I love White Castle. It’s the only solid thing about Indiana,” Hart said. “And Long’s Bakery. Fire donuts. If not for those two things, psshh. Long’s Bakery? Donuts are top tier. Indiana? Bottom of the barrel.”  

Game 3 is at Indianapolis on May 10.

Games 1 (Monday) and 2 (Wednesday) are at MSG.
