"There’s a first time for everything” - 6'9" LeBron James lampoons 5'4" Kevin Hart's big talk with height jab
With the NFL season about to start, LeBron James and Kevin Hart are raising the excitement level of football fans. DraftKings released a commercial featuring the two a week ago. The hilarious exchange between the NBA superstar and the comedian promptly went viral, likely causing sports fans to want more.
The Boston-based company obliged with another round of interaction between James and Hart. Instead of the living room, the back-and-forth happened inside a barbershop. The conversation began with the actor’s line:
"Bron (James), I bet everyone is going to pick my offer over yours."
James responded:
“Oh, that’s what you think, hah? I bet they’ll give you a lollipop after your haircut.”
The lollipop reference was a shot at Hart’s five-foot-four height. After a quick thought, the “Lift” star replied:
“I was gonna say something bad, but I’m choosing not to. I’m going to be the bigger man here.”
LeBron James wouldn’t give up the argument as he responded:
“Oh, really? There’s a first time for everything.”
The commercial ended with a seemingly frustrated Kevin Hart asking the LA Lakers star:
“What’s your problem? What’s your problem, then, huh?”
The four-time NBA MVP winning the argument had to be on the card following Hart’s roasting of the Olympian in the first episode. Hart had a grand time bullying James about his age and “offer” from the NFL:
"They want somebody to run a 40, not somebody that is 40"
“King James” had no answer as he laughed off the shots at him.
Kevin Hart once claimed he offered LeBron James $40 to play for the 76ers
Kevin Hart and LeBron James have unmistakable chemistry. Whether it’s in commercials or real-life interactions, they just gel well.
A few years ago, before “King James” had signed with the LA Lakers, many speculated about the future of the former Cleveland Cavaliers franchise player. TMZ Sports asked the comedian if he would recruit James to play for his beloved Philadelphia 76ers.
Kevin Hart didn't disappoint with his answer:
“Listen, I’ve already tried (to recruit him). I sent him $40. He didn't accept it. I really did try. I sent him 40 dollars, and I said 'come to Philly.'"
When pressed about LeBron James’ answer to the offer, Hart continued:
“He (James) said, ‘Kiss my a**'. I don’t think he’s going anywhere.”
James eventually took his talents to Hollywood where he and Hart, who has a home in Calabasas, California, are much closer. The comedian is often spotted courtside in some of James’ biggest games over the years since joining the Lakers.
