Josh Hart’s wife Shannon shared an unexpected moment from San Antonio on Instagram Story the night before the 2026 NBA Finals Game 1, posting a video of her rideshare driver singing karaoke and refusing to start driving until he finished the song.
Shannon posted the clip on her Instagram Story on Tuesday, June 2, capturing the driver performing inside the parked car. In the caption, she expressed her frustration, writing: “San Antonio is really about to piss me off because wtf is going on here ???” She followed up with another message saying the driver wouldn’t operate the vehicle until he completed his song.
The bizarre encounter drew immediate attention across social media, with the moment quickly spreading across platforms as fans found humor in the unusual situation. Shannon did not elaborate further on how long the karaoke performance lasted or which rideshare service was involved, but she appeared to reach her destination without further incident.
Josh Hart and Shannon have been together since high school, having met at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C. The couple married in August 2021 and share 3-year-old twin sons, Hendrix Aaron and Haze Dana, according to the New York Post. Shannon works as a registered nurse, according to People magazine, and regularly shares glimpses of her life with Josh on social media as he competes in the Finals.
The karaoke moment arrived as the Knicks prepared for Game 1 of the Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on June 3, 2026. The Knicks won that game 105-95 to take a 1-0 series lead, with Josh Hart posting one of the most unusual stat lines in Finals history: 3 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in 27 minutes, according to NBA.com. He became the first player since Larry Bird to record 15-plus rebounds, 6-plus assists, and 4-plus steals in a single Finals game.
