Knicks guard and NBA champion Josh Hart has joined the Napoli ownership group. The Italian club announced that the American guard/forward has joined the venture alongside his business partner, Matt Hillman—with whom he also co-hosts the popular podcast “Roommates”—taking on roles on the team’s board of directors. Both will hold strategic positions on the club’s board of directors, helping to guide its commercial, athletic, and social development.
“Napoli is a remarkable example of a team that defies the odds and, in many ways, reminds me of what we’ve built with the Knicks,” Hart said. “It’s a venture built on hard work, big dreams, and the incredible passion that Napoli fans have for their team. I’ve been visiting Naples and the Amalfi Coast for years, and I know what a fan base like this can offer a team. “The fact that the club is already making its presence felt in the EuroCup clearly shows the direction it’s heading,” he added.
