Tom Brady turned a comedy roast into a New York Knicks moment, and the timing made it hit even harder.
On Netflix’s live roast of Kevin Hart, Brady showed up with a custom Knicks jersey and immediately tied the joke to a night that felt tailor-made for New York fans.
The setup landed because the Knicks had just completed a sweep of the 76ers, giving the gag an extra layer of Philadelphia pain.
Knicks Joke Lands Perfectly During Netflix Roast
He opened by mocking Hart for hosting another roast in the same venue: “Have you even left the Forum? Or have you just been here screaming into that mic the last two years, waiting for daddy to come home?” He then pulled out a child-sized New York Knicks jersey, handed it to Hart, and calmly stated, “That’s newborn size. Alright, sit down. Hobbit.”
The Knicks joke wasn’t random. Hart is a proud Philadelphia native and lifelong 76ers fan and on that very same day, the Knicks had finished off the Sixers in a brutal four-game sweep in the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs.

Brady’s Knicks-themed roast moment quickly took over social media after fans connected the joke
One fan said, “kevin hart getting a knicks jersey at his own roast while they just swept the sixers is the most perfect timing brady cooked him twice in one night.”
One fan noted, “Brady gifting a Philly native a Knicks jersey is already a violation, but making it a toddler size Jalen Brunson kit is straight up lethal.”
One fan tweeted, “tom brady handing out knicks jerseys feels like a multiverse glitch no one warned us about.”
Another fan said, “Tom Brady x Kevin Hart courtside moments just hit different New York Knicks vibes.”
One fan noted, “Kevin is a die-hard Philadelphia fan. Making him hold a Knicks jersey on the same day the Knicks sent the 76ers home is the ultimate disrespect.”
One fan tweeted, “Kevin Hart about to rock that Knicks jersey as a crop top.” The image alone was enough to keep the roast alive online.
Another fan said, “Brady’s giving a Knicks jersey but he’s a New England icon. It’s a strategic move since the Knicks’ market value dwarfs the Pats’ local reach.”
One fan noted, “Tom Brady’s gift to Kevin Hart at his own roast? A mini Knicks jersey. No words needed. Just pain.”
One fan tweeted, “Knicks to the final.” Another fan said, “That’s the best player jersey Tom has ever had in his hands.”
After a night like that, even the smallest Knicks reference felt like a victory lap.
