Tom Thibodeau noted last week the tough process for NBA coaches to select only seven All-Star reserves in each conference, but first-time starter Karl-Anthony Towns attempted to make a case for do-it-all teammate Josh Hart to be included when rosters are announced Thursday night.

Hart understands how All-Star selections work. He knows his chances of being named an All-Star reserve are slim. The Knicks already have two All-Star starters — their first since Earl Monroe and Walt Frazier in 1975 — and the competition for reserve spots is fierce.

New York is dominating one of the toughest stretches on their schedule and Josh Hart is building a serious All-Star resume.

The Knicks already have two All-Stars in Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, but Josh Hart could join them thanks to his unique case

Hart is averaging 14 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 55.7% from the field and 36% from beyond the arc.

In a span of 50 seconds late in regulation of the New York Knicks’ overtime victory against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday, Josh Hart forced a jump ball, recorded a steal, dunked and passed a man open for a 3.

Hart's lack of desire to be an All-Star isn't shared by his team. Head coach Tom Thibodeau made it clear that Hart's numbers are more than fair to get the nod.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns explains how nice it felt to hit a couple threes against Memphis and details why Josh Hart should be an All-Star. Plus, Precious Achiuwa explains how his hamstring is feeling after returning from injury in December.

Karl-Anthony Towns jokes about disrupting "team's heart and soul" Josh Hart's vacation due to his selection for the All-Star Game.
