Josh Hart never hesitates to tell it like it is. Whether he is crashing the boards for the New York Knicks or sharing his thoughts online, he delivers unfiltered honesty. This week, the veteran guard turned his attention to reality television and did not hold back.
On X, Hart took a swing at Love Island with a single sentence that set off a wave of reactions. “Lowkey last several episodes of Love Island was kind of trash,” he tweeted.
Lowkey last several episodes of Love Island was kind of trash

It was blunt, it was funny, and it landed right in the middle of a growing conversation among viewers who have been disappointed by the latest season. Fans quickly chimed in to agree with Hart’s take, with many saying the show had lost its spark and relied too much on recycled drama.
The timing of Hart’s critique could not have been better. Love Island USA just wrapped up its seventh season with a finale that mixed romance, tension, and a few unexpected twists. Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales walked away as the winners, becoming the first Latino couple to claim the show’s $100,000 prize. Their love story had captured viewers’ attention, but it was not enough to keep Hart interested through the final stretch.
In second place were Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen, who spent much of the season looking like clear favorites. The finale also delivered a dramatic split when Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley called it quits during their final date, a first for the show. Even with those fireworks, Hart was not impressed.
His tweet spread fast among Knicks fans and reality TV watchers alike. Some defended the show and argued that the finale redeemed an otherwise sluggish run of episodes. Others backed Hart, saying the season felt tired and predictable despite a few standout moments.
Hart has a history of mixing sports talk with pop culture commentary. He often shares his reactions to big TV events and has built a reputation as one of the NBA’s most entertaining voices on social media. Whether he is breaking down a defensive possession or roasting a reality series, he rarely sugarcoats his thoughts.
Part of what makes Hart so relatable is that he sounds like any other viewer sitting on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and a critical eye. He did not bother dressing up his critique with qualifiers; he simply called it how he saw it.
Fans who follow the Knicks veteran know this is not the first time he has weighed in on what he is watching. Over the years, he has given opinions on everything from the NBA Draft to popular game shows.
This time, his Love Island comment hit a nerve because it echoed what many people had already been whispering. The season’s early momentum fizzled under the weight of predictable recouplings and endless villa chatter. Even the final challenges could not erase the feeling that the show was stuck in neutral.
For Hart, it was an easy call to make. He said it with the same confidence he brings to every game he plays. That candor has made him one of the NBA’s most authentic personalities. He is not worried about pleasing everyone or sparing feelings.
Fans can expect more where that came from. If the next season of Love Island does not pick up the pace, Hart will likely be the first to let the world know. In a sports landscape full of polished statements, his honesty feels refreshing, no matter what he is talking about.
