New York Knicks star Josh Hart gave an wrong invitation to Hollywood star Anne Hathaway and the American Olympic hero Suni Lee before the start of her team’s qualifying series.
The Knicks welcome Detroit Pistons at Madison Square Garden in New York to start their playoffs and before the match, Hart joined his teammate Jalen Brunson on the `Roommates Show ” to prevail the playoffs.
They discussed the impressive recent form of their teammate Og Anunoby when the duo laughed and suggested that he had played better to impress some of the guests of the court that the Knicks had recently.
“We need Suni or Anne Hathaway in each match during this eliminatory race,” joked Hart.
On April 6, Lee, 22, attended the field while Anunoby scored 32 points while the Knicks beat the Suns 112-98 at MSG and they had a photo together after the match.
This aroused a viral video where fans suggested that Anunoby, 27, brought his game to the table when he saw that Lee was on the brink of the courtyard.

In November, Anunoby almost collided with Hathaway while she was in the Chicago Bulls match in MSG with her son.
Fortunately, the actress saw the funny side and posted the clip on her Instagram.
“I almost crushed myself last night!” I always wanted it to happen. Thank you OG! She wrote. The Knicks man replied: “You are welcome”.
After laughing, Brunson paid tribute to the way Anunoby, born in London, grew up as the season continued and supported it to play a central role in the playoffs.
“What I saw is a person who arrives every day, doing their job, working on their game,” said Brunson.
“When we needed it most, he just intensified. He is obviously a calm guy, he is a sweet guy, but when he goes there, he is a different person – you can see by the way he plays.
“I don’t think we were surprised here (by the way he improved). It’s just the time of what he did, when he did, it was just perfect for us and our team.
As for whether the double Olympic gold medalist Lee or Hathaway will? Hathaway was in New York earlier this week for a fashion show while Lee lives in the Big Apple, so it’s not exactly impossible.

Another potential star appearance could potentially be Travis Kelce. The Kansas City Chiefs star – and Taylor Swift’s girlfriend – recently welcomed the passionate fan of Knicks Ben Stiller in his new Heights podcast.
Stiller said he would sort Kelce with Knicks tickets and that the Super Bowl winner seemed very excited.
But he has not been to MSG since this invitation – so he could he expect the playoffs?
After Saturday’s match, the Knicks will return to MSG for match 2 Monday evening.
The Knicks put an end to the regular regular season of the Eastern Conference with a 51-31 file while the much improved pistons were sixth, 44-38.
