Josh Hart has made it very clear what he’ll be getting up once the New York Knicks championship parade was over — and it involves his wife.

On Thursday (June 18), the Knicks guard took to X to write: "Yea I'm in there tonight 😏🤪," directly responding to a viral clip of his wife Shannon grinding on him atop a parade float at the celebratory event for the Knicks.

In that clip, Shannon snuck her right hand onto her husband's butt while he had his back turned. When he felt her playful touch, Josh jumped and spun around, surprised.

Josh Hart's social media vow to get intimate with his wife came after Knicks owner James Dolan asked players to abstain from sex for 10 weeks starting April 3, framing the request around playoff focus. "I had this idea that maybe you should give up sex for the next 10 weeks," Dolan told the team at the time.

"The Spartans, they denied themselves, right, so that they could have an edge," Dolan added, before promising that when the championship rings came, the players' significant others would receive them too.

Hart and Jalen Brunson shared footage of Dolan's speech on the Roommates Show social media accounts on Tuesday (June 16). Head coach Mike Brown underscored the bit in person, wearing a shirt that read "10 weeks" at the parade.

Thursday's celebration was the Knicks' first-ever ticker-tape parade, drawing more than one million fans along Broadway, and the 211th such event in New York City history. The event was the result of the Knicks beating the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the NBA Finals.

"This city is built on toughness, grit, blue-collar people," Hart said from a parade float, per the New York Post. "I think the city really embraced me, my style of play, me as a person."

Another Knicks player to speak on Dolan’s 10-week sex ban was Karl-Anthony Towns Jr., who brought it up on The Howard Stern Show. According to Towns, his fiancée Jordyn Woods "didn't like" the proposal.

"I’m a happily engaged man, I will definitely say, when I came home, and I told my fiancée what he said, she didn’t like to hear that one," he joked.
