At an event in Manhattan, Knicks player Josh Hart discussed the team's plans for the upcoming season following their championship victory. He stated that while last year was successful, the team is focused on working hard and growing rather than dwelling on past achievements. The article notes that with nearly all core players returning and a changing Eastern Conference landscape, including notable additions to rival teams, the Knicks aim to overcome the challenges of maintaining dominance in an era where only one team has repeated as champion over the last eight years.

Story summary
The Knicks, fresh off an amazing season, are already looking ahead to their chances of repeating as champions despite the NBA's recent trend of having eight different winners over the past eight years. Josh Hart, a veteran player, stated at a Manhattan event that the team is eager to work hard and grow rather than bask in accolades. The Knicks return almost all of their core players except for Mitchell Robinson but face challenges from a reshaped Eastern Conference, which includes key additions like LeBron James and Jaylen Brown to the 76ers, Giannis Antetokounmpo joining the Heat, Paul George teaming up with healthy Jayson Tatum on the Celtics, and Tyrese Haliburton returning for the Pacers.
