Michael Jordan might not be a fan of Kevin Hart after the comedian revealed he left the NBA and Chicago Bulls’ legend fuming out of his ears following the repeated jokes from the 45-year-old throughout the years.
Jordan is known for his own sharp wit and intense mentality, but doesn’t take kindly to being made fun of or disrespected as he regularly proved throughout his career on his way to six NBA championships.
So when Hart decided to make him the butt of his jokes, making the world laugh at the billionaire, it probably wasn’t going to end well and as it goes, that’s exactly how it played out following an event in Las Vegas.
“I’ve run into Mike a couple of times,” Hart told Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “Mike still be mad at me, true story.
“As I’m saying stuff, I lock eyes with Mike; he’s in the front row, and I start teasing him. I was like, ‘Man, what age do you get to where it’s OK to wear your pants that high and nobody addresses it?’
“I said, ‘You’re telling me I’m the only one that thinks Mike’s pants are past the legal limit for waist?'”
Since then, the pair have had a rocky relationship even if Jordan is well aware it was only a joke from a man paid to point and laugh at other people and things have been icy ever since that fateful day.
It could mean that Jordan had a wry smile on his face as Hart had to eat some humble pie by closing his attempt at running vegan restaurants, which had four locations within the Los Angeles area.
Jordan rules himself out of GOAT debate
LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan vs. Kobe Bryant is generally the top three pick for the greatest NBA player of all-time and they tend to dominate the polling, although Bryant falls a long way behind the other two on the balance of it.
Yet for the Bulls legend, it’s neither him nor the two Los Angeles Lakers’ stars that deserve to call themselves the GOAT as he names Magic Johnson and Larry Bird as his equal peers, at the very least,
“I don’t put myself above them,” Jordan said of Johnson and Bird. “I think that we’re all on parallel ground here.
“They educated me about a lot of things about the game, from a team standpoint. So I can’t put myself above. I mean, people try to, but we played in different eras.”
