LeBron James trolled Kevin Hart with a video of himself pretending to hand over children's golf clubs, and the clip has gone viral as fans dig into the pair's long-running rivalry. The exchange started after Hart posted a video jokingly challenging James to a round of golf, and James responded by walking through a golf shop and mock-fitting Hart for beginner equipment.The moment landed at an interesting time. James is currently a free agent after moving on from the Lakers, and the lighthearted video gave fans something to enjoy while they wait on his next team.
LeBron James' hilarious Kevin Hart troll goes viral
LeBron James filmed himself browsing golf clubs and narrating as if he were setting Hart up with the right gear, joking that Hart needed the smaller, entry-level option. "I got you right here," James said in the clip, keeping a straight face as he walked through the setup.
The bit leaned on a running joke about Hart's height, which is reported at 5-foot-2 though never officially confirmed, next to James' listed 6-foot-9 frame.Hart has built a career partly on trading jabs with athletes and celebrities, and he usually gives back what he gets. This time, though, James got the better of the exchange, using the size gap for a visual punchline that required almost no explanation.
Fans react to LeBron James' trolling video of Kevin Hart
The clip spread quickly across social media, with fans piling on both sides of the joke.
One user, @E0_DS0_Omega, joked that James is "6'9 offering a 5'2 man children's clubs on camera knowing damn well 40 million" people would see it. Several fans leaned into Hart's Philadelphia roots, with @GodillA978 simply posting "Kevin is from Philly," and @UTDIntent adding a reminder that Hart hails from the city in case James forgot.Others focused on the friendship behind the joke. @Vraj7250 called their dynamic unmatched, writing that "only a true best friend like LeBron can troll Kevin Hart this heavily in public."
@FeelLikeMal kept it simple, posting that "the king got jokes," while @MaxIonno pointed out the shop appeared to be a Golf Galaxy location in Akron, James' hometown. A few fans, including @young_maxey, jokingly suggested Hart should use his Philadelphia connections to help recruit James to the 76ers instead.
History of LeBron James and Kevin Hart's back-and-forth jabs
This is far from the first round of trash talk between the two. Hart challenged James to a golf match roughly a year ago, giving himself time to improve his game before the showdown.
James responded on Instagram at the time with a warning that Hart should have listened to him sooner.The two also filmed a DraftKings commercial in which Hart mocked James for being "too old" to play football after misreading a joke about an NFL-branded betting offer, and years earlier they appeared together in a Samsung ad built around James' rough golf swing.James still hasn't announced his next team, with the Warriors, Cavaliers and Heat reported as frontrunners, but for now the golf feud is giving fans plenty to talk about while the free agency wait continues.
