Knicks news: Superfan Jon Stewart booed for Saquon Barkley jersey after losing Jalen Brunson bet
Yesterday at 07:28 PM
Late-night talk show host and New York Knicks superfan Jon Stewart has learned a valuable lesson this year — stop betting. Stewart got caught up in a bet with Knicks star Jalen Brunson when they decided to bet on the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants game.
The bet went something like this: If the Eagles won, Stewart had to wear a Saquon Barkley Eagles jersey to a Knicks game. If the Giants win, Stewart has to choose a jersey for Brunson to wear when entering the arena before a game.
Jalen Brunson and Jon Stewart on a bet for when the Giants play the Eagles:
*If PHIL wins, Jon has to wear a Saquon Barkley Eagles jersey to a Knicks game*
*If NYG win, Jalen would wear any jersey of Jon's choice to the arena*

The Daily Show host ended up taking a huge loss and was forced to be decked out in Eagles gear. Stewart ended up rocking a Saquon Barkley jersey as well as an Eagles bucket hat to the Knicks vs. the Los Angeles Lakers game over the weekend. The crowd was not pleased with Stewart’s outfit and resorted to “booing” the talk show host. This came as no surprise since many Knicks fans who were in the house to support the home team root for the New York Giants and have a rivarly against all Philadelphia teams.
To make matters worse, Brunson was sure to taunt Stewart’s attire as the talk show host looked glum on the Megatron.
Losing the bet and wearing the Philly attire was just the beginning of Stewart’s defeat. The Knicks ended up losing to the Lakers 128-112.
