LeBron James reacts to Kevin Hart's locker room impersonation at All-Star Weekend
LeBron James had a hilarious reaction after comedian Kevin Hart invaded his locker room and impersonated him before the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. Hart, known for his comedic antics, put on James' size 15 sneakers and mimicked his signature moves, including the chalk toss and "silencer" celebration. The viral moment unfolded when Hart shared a video of himself strutting around the locker room, playfully addressing other All-Star players like Kevin Durant, Jayson Tatum, and Kyrie Irving. James reposted the clip on his Instagram Stories, laughing at Hart's antics and jokingly exclaiming, "AYYOOOOOOO!!! WTH you doing in my locker man!!!" along with laughing and face-palm emojis. Fans quickly shared the moment across social media, making it one of the funniest highlights of All-Star Weekend 2025. This isn't the first time James and Hart have shared a comedic moment. Back in 2016, James hilariously snatched Hart's drink courtside and handed it to Drake, a moment that also went viral. The NBA All-Star Weekend is known for its mix of high-level basketball and entertainment, and Hart's locker room impersonation of James only added to the fun. With Shaquille O'Neal coaching the "OG's" squad, featuring James, Durant, and other top-tier players, the event continues to provide unforgettable moments. As the All-Star Game excitement builds, fans eagerly anticipate more entertaining interactions both on and off the court. Hart's playful take on James' larger-than-life presence proves once again why their dynamic remains a fan favorite.
