With the NFL season kicking off on September 5, the league has launched a new campaign called “This Is Football Country.” The campaign celebrates football and aims to unite everyone through their shared passion for the game. It’s all about getting fans, players, and everyone involved excited and connected, enjoying the sport together. According to Alex Weprin, this is the campaign’s main goal.
As part of the campaign, a hilarious DraftKings ad featuring LeBron James trolling Kevin Hart was tweeted by James and has since gone viral. The video shows them sitting in a barbershop, exchanging playful banter.

After LeBron pokes fun at Kevin Hart’s height by indirectly calling him a kid, Kevin responds, “I was gonna say something bad, but I’m choosing not to. I’m going to be the bigger man here.” LeBron then replies, “Oh, there’s a first time for everything,” continuing to joke about Kevin’s height. That’s when Kevin Hart visibly loses his cool and asks, “What’s your problem?” adding a hilarious finish to the video.
In the DraftKings NFL ad, Kevin Hart is likely referring to a special promotion or offer related to betting on NFL games through the DraftKings platform. While the exact details of the offer aren’t specified in the description of their conversation, these types of ads often promote sign-up bonuses, odds boosts, or other betting-related incentives that DraftKings offers to attract new users or engage existing ones during the NFL season.
It seems like the humor in the ad is used to make the offer more memorable and entertaining. With Kevin Hart and LeBron James featuring in it, it’s sure to spark laughter among many who watch it. Their deep friendship really shines through in the chemistry between them in the video.
The two also recently had a moment during Kai Cenat’s stream where LeBron James said something to Kevin Hart that he instantly regretted.

LeBron James called his friend, comedian Kevin Hart, while Hart was on a Twitch stream with Kai Cenat and Druski. However, LeBron didn’t realize that the conversation was happening in front of a live audience. This led to him saying something he immediately regretted once he found out they were live. “Oh, so the world heard what I just said?” James said with a shock after Hart informed him they were on a live stream.
