“Too old to play football” Kevin Hart TROLLS LeBron James in hilarious commercial

LeBron James gets trolled by friend Kevin Hart talking about NFL

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. That said, approaching year 40 on this planet, James still has those skills mentioned earlier. But his close friend and comedian Kevin Hart thinks otherwise.

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.

As usual, Kevin Hart went off when hearing James got an NFL offer. Not realizing that the offer James was talking about, was a Draft Kings offer bundled with an NFL+ Premium subscription.

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.

Sporting stars know LeBron James could be great in the NFL

Except for Kevin Hart trolling his age, many in the sporting world know LeBron James could have been great in football. When the debate raged over NBA stars easily playing in the NFL, several football players past and present came out attacking the idea. They explained that it will not be easy for NBA players to transition due to the physicality of the sport.

However, retired NFL center Jason Kelce was clear that LeBron James is one of the few who could play and be great. He is not the first to say it. As many consider James, who played football in high school to be perfectly capable of playing the sport at the highest level. He may have even been an all-time great. But one will never know as he preferred to be one of the greatest of all time in the world of basketball.
