What Josh Hart thinks of Knicks coach comparing him to pivotal Warriors player

Mike Brown has coached both and made the comparison.

Last week, Brown said there are similarities in how Josh Hart impacts the game to how Andre Iguodala did when Brown was an assistant with the Warriors.

The idea that there might not be one particular skill that they excel at, but that there a bunch of areas they affect the game and when you look at the whole body of work, it results in a winning player.

What does Hart think of that comparison?

“Andre is extremely talented, definitely was a better player in this league than I am,” Hart told The Post before the Knicks’s game against the Wizards Sunday night at Madison Square Garden. “But we can be like an older version of Andre. Older, less athletic, scoring version of Andre. But it’s cool, Andre is someone who is highly respected for everything he’s done for the game. So it was cool.”

Iguodala was a key glue guy — and one-time finals MVP — on four championship teams with the Warriors. His impact often did not necessarily jump off the box score, though.

It’s that part of the comparison Hart most enjoys — and knows often goes unnoticed.

“I take a lot of pride in it,” Hart said. “Especially right now, you just look at numbers and you don’t understand the process of the game. A lot of people think you can just throw five guys in that score X amount of points, and that’s how it’s gonna be.

“But that’s not always what it is, situations are different. So for me, especially in that [starting] group, I’m a guy that’s gonna connect the dots, a guy that’s gonna try to be unselfish, get other guys involved, get other guys flowing in good rhythm. I think that gets overlooked, but for me, I take pride in it.”
