‘Butterscotch candy’ – LeBron James mercilessly roasted by Kevin Hart in hilarious ad

LeBron James appeared in a sports betting commercial for Draft Kings with comedian legend Kevin Hart. Having Hart in the skit, something funny was bound to happen. True enough, the comedian roasted James’ age and made fun of him for being an old athlete wanting to play for the NFL.

The skit started with James receiving an NFL betting offer from Draft Kings, which he blurted out loud. Hart, not knowing what the Los Angeles Lakers star meant, let his intrusive thoughts win and savagely roasted the King.

β€œAren’t you a little too old to play football? They want somebody to run a 40, not somebody that is 40. When the coach calls your number you’re gonna say β€˜G 56! Bingo!’

“How you gonna celebrate a win? You gonna give everybody butterscotch candy? Prolly out your pocket with no wrappers on. Just give them raw candy. That’s nasty by the way.”

LeBron James will turn 40 in December, but he doesn’t appear to be much slowing down. James is getting older, and there have been some signs in the last several years, but he still performs at the highest level. LeBron has undoubtedly been the greatest player on the Los Angeles Lakers team that has Anthony Davis on it, despite his recent struggles in trying to win his fifth ring.
