Kevin Hart Recalls Trash-Talking James Harden into 50-Point Effort vs. Sixers

Comedian Kevin Hart has become a fixture at NBA games and events. 

He's constantly courtside, especially for his hometown Philadelphia 76ers, and is an NBA All-Star Weekend legend—four-time Celebrity Game MVP, people. On Thursday, the 37-year-old talked to Jimmy Kimmel about why he goes to so many games.

"I talk a lot of trash. That's why I go," Hart said. "I go there to sit courtside to mess with the players. That's literally all I go for."

Hart said sometimes he throws back one too many drinks and starts slurring his words. He also told Kimmel about a time he heckled Houston Rockets superstar James Harden into an offensive eruption against his Sixers.

Apparently the Beard went back at Hart verbally—and then with his play.

"Tell your team what you did to 'em," Hart, who was there with rapper Meek Mill, recalled Harden telling him as the clock wound down.

The Rockets won 123-118 as Harden dropped 51 points to go with 13 rebounds and 13 assists. Hart crashed his interview afterward:
