Kevin Hart has explained why NBA legend Michael Jordan has “had an attitude” with him for years.
He may be the greatest basketball player of all time but that hasn’t saved Michael Jordan from being the victim of several Kevin Hart jokes.
The American comedian has made a number of digs at Jordan over the years. In fact, he’s previously taken aim at Jeffrey and Marcus Jordan, his two sons.
During the Acting My Age tour, Hart revealed that Jordan hasn’t spoken to him in years after he poked fun at the NBA icon during a charity event.
“Michael’s had an attitude with me for years because I hosted a celebrity event for him and he came in late. I saw him coming in late [and] I hit him with [a joke],” Hart told the audience at his Atlantic City show on July 21.
“It was quick. It was all in fun. I don’t know where it came from. I just hit him with a quick one. Michael had an attitude. Hasn’t talked to me since.”
It doesn’t seem like Hart is particularly bothered though. “I don’t give a s***. I couldn’t care less. I couldn’t f****** care less,” he said. “I’m at a point in my life where it’s very hard to bother me.
“I’m 45 years old and it’s not about the progression of life. You get to the point where little things don’t matter. I’m not the same person I once was.”
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel in 2016, Hart went out of his way to joke about Jordan’s fashion choices and facial hair.
“What age do you get to where it’s okay to wear your pants that high, and nobody addresses it?” Hart asked.
The comedian joked that Jordan is a “horrible dresser” during his performance at the Etess Arena at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
Hart also said he wears “some of the worst jeans I’ve seen in my life,” and that his “huge back pockets” could fit a Dell computer on one side and a modem on the other.
