In a recent game between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers, forward Josh Hart found himself in a hilarious interaction with referee JB DeRosa after fouling none other than LeBron James. The Knicks ultimately suffered a 113-105 loss to the Lakers at Madison Square Garden.
In the captured audio, Hart humorously questioned the referee’s ability to witness the foul, stating:
“You can’t see it unless you have X-ray vision.”
Despite the clear foul call, Hart continued to jokingly praise DeRosa, calling it a “great call.” The Knicks veteran seemed genuinely surprised at how the referee was able to discern the infraction without possessing superhuman powers.
The funny incident gained attention when Hart, who had been miked for the game, expressed disbelief that the referee had noticed his foul on LeBron James. After a forearm push on James, which led to two free throws for the Lakers star, Hart initiated a lighthearted exchange with DeRosa.
