Mitchell Robinson Tells Josh Hart to 'F--k Off' After Knicks Star's Viral Reaction to Celtics Photo

It appears that Mitchell Robinson subscribes to the Don Draper theory of only moving forward because he is clearly taking to being on the other side of the New York Knicks' rivalry with the Boston Celtics.

After Knicks forward Josh Hart requested an X post showing Robinson in a Celtics jersey be deleted, the veteran center responded on his Instagram story by telling his now-former teammate to "f--k off" because the Knicks didn't want him anymore.

After playing a key role for the Knicks during their run to the NBA championship, Robinson wound up leaving New York as a free agent to sign a three-year, $47.4 million contract to join the Celtics.

The move came after Knicks governor James Dolan stated in no uncertain terms he would never pay into the second apron, all but ensuring Robinson wouldn't return given how many big contracts they already have on their books.

Robinson leaves the Knicks after eight seasons. His greatest contribution during that span was a key offensive rebound in the final seconds of Game 5 against the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals when the Knicks were clinging to a 91-88 lead.

New York went on to win that game 94-90 to capture the franchise's first title since the 1972-73 season.
