Knicks championship turned into ‘chaotic combine’ for Jalen Brunson, Josh…
Knicks stars Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart aren’t completed celebrating the team’s championship run yet.
In an exclusive interview with The Post, the NBA champs and Matt Hillman, Hart’s best pal and enterprise associate, pulled again the curtain on their lives after June 13 — when the Knicks clinched the NBA title in a 94-90 win against the Spurs in Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals.
“It’s been the most chaotic mix of personal and professional time really ever,” said Hillman, who’s the co-host of the “Roommates Show” weekly podcast with Hart and Brunson.
It’s been a continuous work circulate of tv appearances, model offers and new alternatives after the final buzzer rang at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio — and the Roommates have been protecting a secret.
The third version of their live podcast experience — “The Roommates Show Block Party Presented by DoorDash” — will transfer from Central Park to Randall’s Island Park on Sept 26 as a result of high demand for tickets after the Knicks secured their first title in 53 years.

More than 4,000 tickets for this 12 months’s present offered out in 90 seconds, with almost 8,000 followers left on the waitlist, making this the potential largest live podcast event of all time.
They will welcome particular friends including Jose Alvarado, Mariska Hargitay, Jimmy Fallon, Spike Lee, Landry Shamet and more — plus musical performances from Fabolous, Jim Jones, Maino and Dave East.
“I think it’ll be a great opportunity to celebrate with the fans and also celebrate the fans themselves,” Brunson said. “They showed up for us, so I’m just excited to show up for them in a fun and different environment.”
The “Roommates Show” is 2 and a half years outdated, having launched in Feb. 2024, and coming into its fourth season.
“We kind of started [the podcast] and didn’t really know what the trajectory was going to be,” Hart said. “We didn’t have like a purpose in thoughts. We have been just like, ‘You know, let’s start it and just to see if something comes of it.
“And obviously, two and a half years later, or three seasons in, it’s definitely grown a little bit bigger than we thought it was going to be. But it’s been a fun process… Not every day is fun. It’s very up and down in terms of getting the episode recorded sometimes.”
Hart added that the pair will tackle the departure of Mitchell Robinson, who signed with the Celtics last month after spending his first eight seasons with the Knicks — among other big strikes round the Eastern Conference, during their live present.

Tickets for “The Roommates Show Block Party presented by DoorDash” go on sale, Friday, Aug. 21 at Noon ET.
For Hart, it’s been a stability of accepting new alternatives off of the courtroom, making time for his household and persevering with to have a good time being a NBA champion.
“At the end of the day, that [championship] team in its entirety is never going to be back together, you’re not going to have that same locker room, guys are going to go in, guys are gonna go out — so it was [important] that we had a bunch of times where we were able to go out and celebrate as a team and I’ll leave those details out for another day,” Hart said.
The Knicks partied at Chez Margaux, a non-public supper club, with celebrities after their ticker-tape parade on June 18 — and loads of pictures made the rounds on-line.
Hillman, who was with Hart for a lot of the summer season, explained that it was overwhelming at occasions.
“From my perspective… the one thing that caught me by surprise is you never really hear about what happens after the win — you could just kind of think it’s all celebrations and fun,” Hillman said.
“I’ll be trustworthy, I don’t assume they bought to essentially even take pleasure in it until a number of weeks after… when he bought to Europe [in July] and then even when he bought again [to New York] again from Europe, he had an equally loopy week with appearances at Fanatics Fest and the [2026 FIFA] World Cup and other issues.

“From the second, the buzzer sounds, it’s press, and also you do all of these different issues, and then it’s making an attempt to have a good time along with your teammates out fairly late — and then 6 AM, ‘Good Morning America’, at 7 AM [it’s the] ‘Today Show’
“… So they were just running a million miles an hour for two weeks. And obviously, I was kind of there with him for a lot of it and it was just 24-7. It was brand deals and parades and just integrations into the schedule, it was a lot.”
Hart and Hillman have historical past.
They grew to become best pals in high college, and Hart moved in with Hillman and his household for two years before he went to play at Villanova.
Hart and Hillham together with their wives, Shannon Hart and Samara Hillman, vacationed together in France — and indulged in wine tastings at Château Lynch-Bages, a vineyard in the Pauillac appellation of the Bordeaux area in July.
Hart said him and Shannon also loved some R&R in Capri and Rome before heading again to the United States to attend weddings earlier this month.
“I went to Donovan [Mitchell] and Coco [Jones’] wedding and then we just got back from KAT and Jordyn [Woods’],” Hart said.
“It was really nice, both of them were. Really cool ceremonies [and] receptions… They were both good vibes.”

Hart is trying ahead to some downtime with Shannon and their three-year-old twin sons, named Hendrix and Haze, before the start of his tenth NBA season.
“We’re out East now,” he said of spending the remainder of his summer season in The Hamptons. “I think I’m doing like two or three brand [commitments] in the Hamptons. August is kind of my time to just work out and get away from the stuff.”
Hart isn’t the only one securing model offers.
Shannon, who has 95,000 Instagram followers, not too long ago signed with Digital Brand Architects for illustration.
In 2026, she partnered with manufacturers such as, Vita Coco, Maybelline, Maker’s Mark, AT&T, Reeses, and Blueair US.
It’s all led to her next big project, which Hart hinted can be announced soon.
