The day that Josh Hart met Kyle Lowry, Lowry fouled him hard in transition. Hart was a freshman at Villanova, Lowry a returning pro teaching a lesson: Allow nothing easy, even in summertime pickup. Since then, the two have grown close. “He’s there, no matter what it is,” Hart said. “There’s times I talk to him about parenting, about nannies.” Before Lowry signed with his hometown Philadelphia 76ers last month on the buyout market, Hart tried to recruit him to the New York Knicks. “Yeah, I texted his ass,” Hart said. “I told him, ‘Pull up.’ Told him, ‘F— with us.’ But obviously that didn’t happen, so f— him.” -via CBSSports.com / March 18, 2024
