Kevin Hart ripped for dodging questions about Josh Giddey controversy during NBA broadcast

Kevin Hart can have been out of his league after being asked an uncomfortable query regarding the recent NBA controversy.

The comedian hosted “NBA Unplugged with Kevin Hart” along with his comedy crew, the Plastic Cup Boyz, during the inaugural intraseason championship. “NBA Unplugged” is paying homage to the NFL’s “Manningcast,” by which brothers Peyton and Eli Manning refer to guests on Monday Night Football.

During the December 9 broadcast, Hart and his friends were joined by guests resembling ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith and former NBA champion Richard Jefferson. While Hart stuck to his usual brand of comedy during the sport, things took a turn for the more severe when he invited the NBA star and podcaster Patrick Beverly on the performance.

Beverly is a known instigator on the pitch, and he did just that by asking the hosts a controversial query. The Philadelphia 76ers player said: “I have a question too. I have a daughter and I like to call myself a “girl dad.” What do you think about the Josh Giddey situation?”

The Plastic Cup Boyz might be heard saying “Uh-huh” when Hart asked in the event that they had anything to say about it. Will “Spank” Horton was the primary to talk out and gave a really media-savvy response, stating that the rumors were allegations and that the minor girl’s family was not cooperate.

Beverly interrupted him, adding, “I read it too. I said, what do you’re thinking that? That was my query. Horton laughed as Hart replied, “Pat, I heard your question, but I’ll tell you what I’m really good at, go away.”

The “Night School” actor then fiddled with the basketball in his hand, telling Beverly that he was “brand” and that she would text him her real thoughts on the matter.

Hart said, “But now on ‘NBA Unplugged,’ I’m going to try to keep it as commercial as possible.” The 44-year-old then tried to vary the conversation by in search of Beverly’s opinion on the courts during the NBA midseason tournaments, but Beverly continued, saying, “I like the color of the courts, but not the prison courts.”

So Hart kicked playfully Bever left the show for asking a matter that made him sweat greater than he did during the sport. Fans online joked about the awkward conversation, saying, “Patrick Beverly is a menace and a treasure.” Another wrote: “Kevin Hart immediately asked, ‘Do you must answer that?’ will let you know every little thing you might want to know about ESPN, and in addition that Pat probably won’t be on the network anymore, lol.

This wasn’t funny to everyone, as some critics were confused by the daddy of 4’s silence on the topic.

One said: “Kevin Hart as a father must have put it into words. Idgaf what’s the law if he’s an adult and he or she was 15 it’s mistaken. Kevin could have had influence there, but he selected to stay silent. No respect for this. I respect @patbev21 for asking Tho. I’m also a woman’s dad.

While Hart has remained silent on the allegations against Giddey, he has been way more vocal about what he thinks of Ne-Yo’s singing National anthem. The R&B singer stepped out in a white ensemble with a protracted forest green leather trench coat, leaving his signature hat off the court.

While many fans said they liked his performance, Hart and Plastic Cup Boyz felt it was missing something.

“We need to debate Ne-Yo singing the national anthem without wearing a hat. Bold move,” Hart said as Harry Ratchford was equipping, “You’ve got to wear a hat when your head’s shaped like that.”

The comedy crew further joked that the mix of Ne-Yo’s hatless head and green trench coat reminded them of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
