The famous comedian and Philadelphia native was speaking with TMZ Sports this week when the topic of recruiting James to the 76ers was brought up.
“Listen, I’ve already tried,” Hart replied. “I sent him $40, he didn’t accept it.
“I tried it already. I really did send him $40, and I said ‘Come to Philly,'” continued Hart. “He said kiss his a–, that’s what he said.”
The four-time MVP can, of course, become an unrestricted free agent after the season. Meanwhile, the Sixers with their high-ceiling young core are gaining steam as a possible destination should James leave the Cleveland Cavaliers.
As for Hart, he probably doesn’t have to be too shaken up that he got swatted away by James since plenty of others are already recruiting him to Philly.
