22-year-old Youtuber Kai Cenat has gained worldwide recognition over his online livestreams that often provide viewers with a dose of entertainment. As a result, his show has often been graced by celebrities and comedians. And now, even Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has joined that list, though his appearance was limited to barely two seconds.

During his latest stream, Cenat played host to renowned American comedian Kevin Hart. In the midst of the video, Hart proceeded to facetime the Lakers star and engage in a conversation with him. He jokingly roasted LeBron by telling the host, “Be quiet, I’m asking what time he’s playing”. Fans who have been following the ongoing NBA tournament know that the 39-year-old and his franchise were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs itself. However, as over 650,000-700,000 fans watched on, LeBron took the roast in his stride and proceeded to reply “They haven’t sent me the schedule yet”.

Prior to the roast, Kai Cenat asked the comedian to show the NBA player to the rest of the world as well. As Kevin Hart pointed his screen towards the livestream camera, LeBron dropped a greeting for the “700,000” viewers taking time out of their busy schedule to view the video.

Kevin Hart and LeBron James go a long way. From mentioning the All-Time Lead Scorer during interviews to attending his ‘retro-themed’ 39 birthday party, fans have often caught a glimpse of the admiration that the comedian/actor shares for LeBron. Furthermore, Hart has made use of this long running friendship to often take a shot at the NBA star. Most recently, he made headlines after jokingly mentioning LeBron’s “Two-ish-ish” hairline when he started out with the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, the NBA star himself chooses to get back at the 44-year-old when the opportunity presents itself.

LeBron James stole Kevin Hart’s drink mid-game

During the 2016 NBA All-Star Game, celebrities like Kevin Hart and Drake, another close friend of LeBron James, made their presence available at the arena in Toronto. Given that the comedian was hilariously ejected from when he participated during the 2012 All-Star series, he attended merely as a spectator during this game. LeBron, who was on the court with two of his friends watching on, decided to create a hilarious moment.

As he was running across the court, LeBron approached where Kevin Hart was sitting and proceeded to grab his drink. As the latter looked in astonishment, the player went just a few steps ahead and dropped the refreshment onto the hands of Drake. The rapper took a quick glance at Kevin Hart before proceeding to take a big gulp out of the same. But roasting and pranking aren’t all the moments the two share.

During one of the GOAT conversations, Kevin Hart sang praises for James, applauding his contributions. “He has done it too much. What do you expect from him at this point? It’s like one of those things, like ‘What more do you want from me?’” he said, revealing he doesn’t like the NBA star being question in the conversation. LeBron seems to have often reciprocated, celebrating events in Hart’s presence, and involving in friendly banters.
