Kevin Hart has a thing for making fun of some of the NBA's biggest ball players, so it doesn't come as much surprise that the comedian/actor was chosen to introduce the basketball stars for the 2018 NBA All-Star Game.

Hart's style of comedy can be hit or miss, and for this go-around his attempt at letting the jokes fly leaned more towards the latter. A few highlights (or lowlights, depending on how much you actually like him) from Hart's introduction included "[He] gained the nickname 'The Dragon' because like a dragon his breath will kill you" in reference to Miami Heat's Goran Dragic, jokingly comparing Indiana Pacers' own Victor Oladipo's looks to T-Pain and claiming Detriot Pistons' Andre Drummond spends his entire NBA check on waxing his shoulders. It may be better to hear these jokes than to read them.

Prior to the introduction, Hart took part in a skit alongside Rob Riggle, Queen Latifah, Jamie Foxx, Ludacris, and Workaholics' Adam Devine. The other actors' appearances definitely overshadowed Hart's own, despite him being the man of the night. But whatever people may think about Hart's introduction, he just had the best day ever at the game. "This picture will be on a wall in my house.... #Legends #ComedicGreats" he captioned a dope photo on Instagram with Chris Rock, Chris Tucker and Dave Chappelle.

Not much else can top meeting some of the best comedians of all time. Still though, the hilarious Twitter reactions to Hart's NBA All-Star appearance overrules all!

Is it weird that I am offended by Kevin Hart’s horrendous jokes about the NBA All-Stars? Why can’t they just announce the guys?! This is not good. This was a big mistake. Please never again, NBA.
