Michael Jordan is widely regarded as one of the greatest NBA players of all time due to his unforgettable career with the Chicago Bulls. However, despite his legendary status, he hasn’t escaped the sharp humor of comedian Kevin Hart, who has made numerous jokes at Jordan’s expense over the years.
Hart’s playful jabs during a charity event in Las Vegas eventually led to an icy relationship between the two. Jordan reportedly got so upset that he stopped speaking to the comedian altogether. During an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Hart shared how his humor crossed the line with “His Airness.”
“I’ve run into Mike a couple of times. Mike still be mad at me, true story,” Hart said.
“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?’” he added.
Even though Michael Jordan retired many years ago, Jordan’s legacy continues to grow in the GOAT debate alongside LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. However, Jordan himself believes that other players deserve recognition before him, notably Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.
