Why Michael Jordan hasn't spoken to Kevin Hart for years after bitter feud with Hollywood star
The NBA icon was not best pleased with the American actor and comedian.
Kevin Hart previously detailed why NBA legend Michael Jordan has snubbed him for years.
Hart, 46, is a huge NBA fan and is regularly spotted supporting the Philadelphia 76ers. The American is best known for his stand-up comedy as well as starring in films such as Get Hard, Ride Along and Central Intelligence, among others.
And even arguably the greatest of all time cannot escape being the butt of Hart’s jokes. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel back in 2016, he called out Jordan, 62, for the height of his pants and would later say MJ is a "horrible dresser" who wears "some of the worst jeans I’ve seen in my life”.
“What age do you get to where it’s okay to wear your pants that high, and nobody addresses it?” Hart said at the time.

But it appears that Jordan did not see the funny side of another joke aimed at him. Hart opened up about the incident during a stand-up set as relayed by the Mail in 2024.
Jordan was reportedly late for a celebrity event he hosted and caught the brunt of a joke which he took a dislike to.
"Michael's had an attitude with me for years because I hosted a celebrity event for him, and he came in late. I saw him coming in late [and] I hit him with [a joke]," Hart told the audience at his Atlantic City show in July 2024.
“It was quick. It was all in fun. I don't know where it came from. I just hit him with a quick one.
“Michael had an attitude. Hasn't talked to me since.”
The actor continued to explain that Jordan “is not a Kevin Hart fan” following the incident. But it’s fair to say the comedian is not too bothered by the so-called feud.
“I don't give a s**t. I could care less. I can f**king care less,” Hart explained.
“I'm at a point in my life where it's very hard to bother me.
“I'm 45 years old, and it's not about the progression of life. You get to the point where little things don't matter. I'm not the same person I once was.”
