Why Michael Jordan hasn't spoken to Kevin Hart for years after bitter feud with Hollywood star

NBA legend Michael Jordan has not spoken to comedian and actor Kevin Hart in years.

Michael Jordan hasn't spoken to Kevin Hart for years, with the comedian explaining why he has been subbed by the six-time NBA champion.

Hart is a huge NBA fan and is regularly seen courtside for games involving his beloved Philadelphia 76ers. The 45-year-old enjoys trash-talking players and trying to get inside their heads and he's even roasted the iconic Jordan, widely seen as the best player in the history of NBA.

Over the years Hart has had plenty of jokes at His Airness' expense. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel in 2016, he called out 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.

Jordan's sons Jeffrey and Marcus, who were never quite able to follow in his footsteps, have also been trolled by Hart.

But Jordan was not happy with the Jumanji star after he joked about him turning up late for a celebrity event he hosted, with Hart stating that the 61-year-old has "had an attitude" with him for years.

"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 last year according to the Daily Mail.

"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."

However, Hart does not care much for the fact that Jordan has cut ties - claiming he has changed as a person and "little things don't matter" to him anymore.

"I don't give a s***. I couldn't care less. I couldn't f****** care less," Hart stated.

"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."

Jordan was also offended by criticism about his record as owners of the Charlotte Hornets from his former best friend Charles Barkley.

Barkley, who played with Jordan in the USA's 'Dream Team' 1992 Olympics, received an expletive-filled phone call and that was their last interaction.

“He called me and the last thing I heard was ‘Motherf***er, f*** you,'" Barkley said.

"You’re supposed to be my boy.’ I said ‘Man, I gotta do my job.’ We haven’t spoken since that night.”
