Villanova teammates reunite in Knicks commercial for March Madness

Four former Villanova teammates have come together again for a commercial during March Madness. Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, and Donte DiVincenzo were briefly teammates on the New York Knicks last season. In the 2024 NBA offseason, these players were all part of the Knicks roster. They played together at Villanova, winning a championship in 2016-17. However, a trade in October sent DiVincenzo to the Minnesota Timberwolves, ending their time as a group in the NBA. The new AT&T commercial humorously highlights their separation. In the ad, DiVincenzo sees his former teammates and thinks about their special bond. The narrator points out that staying close is not guaranteed. DiVincenzo feels nostalgic, remembering their moments together, including a birthday celebration. The commercial ends with a joyful memory from their college days, showing them winning in the 2018 Elite Eight. Despite their absence from the NCAA tournament this year, Villanova will compete in the College Basketball Crown tournament against the Colorado Buffaloes on April 1.
