LeBron James has always been referred to as one NBA player who could have been great in the NFL. His combination of size, athleticism, and IQ could have translated to becoming one of the greatest tight ends or wide receivers of all time.
The two were part of a commercial for Draft Kings in conjunction with the NFL. The ad started with James suggesting he got an NFL offer. To this, Hart said:
Don't play with me. Aren't you a little too old to play football? They want somebody to run a 40, not somebody that is 40.Kevin Hart in a commercial for Draft KingsAs usual, Kevin Hart went off when hearing James got an NFL offer.

Naturally, Hart, who is known for his outbursts thought the recently crowned Olympics MVP was getting an offer to play in the NFL. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar had a surprised reaction when the comedian went off on the thought of him playing in the NFL.
But knowing Hart's ability to troll and make a joke out of it, he did not stop him. Rather the all-time leading scorer went with the flow as Kevin Hart took shot after shot at his friend. Their chemistry is apparent even though it was a commercial.
