The Saturday night In-season Tournament Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Indiana Pacers has an extra element of surprise for the fans. The live commentary of the Hollywood actor, Kevin Hart. While the actor was known for making the atmosphere light with his comedic sense. However, on this occasion, he raised up the temperature with a brutal opinion on the Lakers’ star center, Anthony Davis.

Despite the criticisms in the air, Davis holds an important place in the Lakers line up. In fact, without him, the team will have a major missing block around the ring. At the same time, AD went off the court without bothering the scorers in the second half of a few games. Nevertheless, let’s find out what Kevin Hart has in his stores for us.

The star comedian Kevin Hart took the NBA Cup Finals with a storm with his live show. Featuring the special Finals show, Unplugged with Kevin Hart alongside Plastic Cup Boyz, Hart dropped several hilarious statements. One of them included his outrageous church basketball league stats. Even though the panel knew that he was lying, they continued to respond to his sarcasm. But, when it came down to Anthony Davis, he wasn’t joking. He said, “[Anthony Davis] is by far one of the most potentially dominant players in the basketball league. The lack of effort to become the best is what frustrates me the most.” 

He further revealed Boston Celtics’ legend Kevin Garnett’s words on AD. Hart quoted, “I feel like he is a MVP candidate… and I want to see him, come in and want that.”

Anthony Davis looked locked in right from the tip-off. The star dominated the paint, extracting several foul calls, rebounding, and scoring buckets in the paint. Moreover, he registered his 5th 40-point game of his career. He ended the game with 41 points, 20 rebounds, and 5 assists in his 41-minute game time.

Importantly, AD’s performance shattered the Pacers’ hearts and helped the Lakers make history by winning the inaugural edition of the In-season Tournament.

He not only registered his 5th career game with 40 points and 20 rebounds but became the second Laker to register a stat-line like that in the last twenty years. The first player? Davis, on the 29th of October, 2019. It seems like Davis may have heard Hart, because he looks like he’s ready to show what he can do on the court.
