Kevin Hart is a Philadelphia native. He’s a principal owner of the Philadelphia 76ers and is a Philadelphia sports fan. Over the past few months, he has been on multiple podcasts and television shows sharing his opinion on Philadelphia sports. We even saw pictures of him with him in California over the offseason at the gym with Ben Simmons. At the time, I hoped he was there on behalf of the city of Philadelphia and the 76ers as a friendly ambassador to the team to speak with Simmons about his hold out and desire to leave Philly. That was not the case.

From there, he was on Showtime and multiple podcasts, saying generic things that everyone says about the city of Philadelphia and our fans. I criticized Kevin Hart for these comments and thought they were out of touch with how 76ers fans and the city should be feeling in regards to the Ben Simmons soap opera that we are still all enduring on a daily basis.

Most recently, Kevin Hart joined First Take and spoke about Ben Simmons yet again. At the time, I didn’t necessarily agree with Kevin Hart, but I understood the message he was trying to give and we were still hopeful that Ben Simmons was working to better himself and make a return to the 76ers when he was mentally prepared.

Obviously, things change on a week-by-week basis with Ben Simmons and I blame myself for not seeing through the bullshit that Kevin Hart does in the media. I’m typically pretty good at spotting complete frauds in the local and national media and this one I definitely screwed up. As a leader, I take full responsibility for that.

Kevin Hart is now, undoubtedly, one of those frauds that I often write about on The Liberty Line. If you didn’t know already, Kevin Hart is nothing more than a Klutch Sports shill, not working or speaking on behalf of the city of Philadelphia, but rather on behalf of Klutch Sports and Rich Paul. This was confirmed last night, when Hart was pictured hanging out with Lebron James and Rich Paul court side at a Lakers game.

Why was LeBron James sitting court side at a Lakers game while his team was literally playing a basketball game? I have no idea. That’s also weird behavior from the leader of a 6-5 Lakers team that barely beat the Charlotte Hornets last night but that’s a conversation for another day.

Kevin Hart only shows up for the city of Philadelphia when it is convenient for him. If there’s an opportunity to be a Philadelphia sports fan while one of our teams is in the playoffs, he’ll definitely be there court side or on the field acting like he is an ambassador for the city. In reality, it’s always about Kevin Hart. He doesn’t live and die any Philly sports team. He’s literally said it himself multiple times.

After the Sixers playoffs in 2019, Kevin Hart had this to say after embarrassing himself and the city of Philadelphia by talking shit to Dwyane Wade, only to have D-Wade drop 28 points in a Game 2 victory against the Sixers:

“I make the game fun. I am an entertaining court side participant”

In the end, when the city of Philadelphia needed him the most while our All-NBA, All-Defense, All-Star point guard, turned his back on us and we needed strong voices in the city of Philadelphia, Kevin Hart was no where to be found. If you did come across what he was saying in the articles linked above, you’d realize that he was actively working against us.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Thanks for nothing, Kevin Hart.

The 76ers are back in action tonight after a tough loss to the Knicks last night. They will be shorthanded, playing the Milwaukee Bucks in South Philadelphia.
