  "account": "New York Knicks guard Josh Hart has a simple pregame routine that has helped him compete for years. He sticks to familiar snacks like Mike and Ikes, popcorn, grapes, PB&Js, and prays on the bench before jumping into the hot tub. Hart is also a partner with C4 Energy, a sports drink brand he uses before games, as he finds it fuels his on-court effort. The 31-year-old recently teased a new flavor for C4 Energy, expressing excitement for a Mike and Ike collaboration. Off the court, Hart spends time with his wife and two kids, enjoys working out, and occasionally relaxes in Bordeaux and Capri. He also co-hosts a podcast with teammate Jalen Brunson, though he jokingly claims his toddlers are better roommates.",
