Kevin Hart had his favorite basketball player from his hometown Sixers on his YouTube show "Cold As Balls" in an episode the diminutive funnyman dedicated to the city of Philadelphia.
Hart takes extra special care of Ben Simmons as he's getting in and out of the ice bath to make sure there's no freak accident that could derail the Sixers' title run this season.
Hart, who is frequently seated courtside at Sixers games, asked Simmons his thoughts on Hart's infamous trash talking.
"There was this one time against the Miami Heat, Dwyane Wade - you were talking sh** to him the whole time - he hit a big shot right in my face. I remember I was like, ‘Why is Kevin talking to him! He's got to sit down and enjoy the game,'" Simmons said.
Hart brought up the meeting LeBron James, a mentor of Simmons', took with the Sixers during his free agency this past summer before he opted to join the Los Angeles Lakers.
Simmons said Philly may have been more of a consideration earlier in James' career, which kind of implied winning may not be James' sole focus in Los Angeles. Yep. Hart and Simmons joked that the Sixers don't need him anyway.
"We got this," Simmons said.

Perhaps the best moment from the icy chat was when Hart asked Simmons what he would say to Simmons' Rookie of the Year competition Donovan Mitchell if he had the opportunity.
"Nothing," Simmons said with big smile. "He knows."
The two also talk Philly, video games, burner accounts, wild animals, Australia, Bentleys, and much more. You can watch the segment below. It's pretty much the polar opposite of Joel Embiid on "Hot Ones."
