The NBA announced on Tuesday that comedy superstar Kevin Hart will serve as the first-ever on-court emcee of the NBA All-Star Game, which will take place on Sunday, Feb. 16 at Chase Center – home of the Golden State Warriors – and air at 8 p.m. ET on TNT, TBS, truTV and MAX.
Hart, a longtime friend of the NBA and four-time NBA
All-Star Celebrity Game MVP, will bring his signature humor and energy to the
reimagined All-Star Game format, providing commentary from the court as play
unfolds. He will be leveraging his
longstanding friendships with the league’s prominent players and his legendary
status as an entertainer to add a layer of comedic disruption into the live
game.
Hart will be charged with hyping up fans in the arena and
watching around the world alongside Ernie Johnson and team general managers
Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, Candace Parker and Kenny Smith.
Four-time NBA All-Star Draymond Green of the Warriors
officially invited Hart to come to NBA All-Star in a new promotional spot,
solidifying his role at the event.
