Comedian Kevin Hart was the on-court emcee for the 2025 All-Star Game and had a blast as he trolled/talked trash about the players for much of the night. It appears he got a taste of his own medicine after the game, though, as WNBA players Rickea Jackson, DiJonai Carrington, and Aaliyah Edwards roasted him over his height.

"You gotta bend down low to take a picture of Kevin," Jackson joked.

The three women towered over Hart, who once claimed he was 5'5" with a sneaker on. Based on that clip, he might be a little shorter than that, as Edwards is 6'3", Jackson is 6'2", and Carrington is 5'11". The three WNBA players repeatedly kept mocking Hart for the height and they didn't stop here either.

Jackson later took to X  to call Hart the smallest guy she'd ever met.

"The smallest guy I’ve ever met in my life."

Carrington, meanwhile, shared the video she took when the three of them were trolling Hart and called him a short king. The 45-year-old had enough of their jokes on the court, though, as he hilariously started to rant there.

"Y'all so stupid that's why you don't have no clothes in y'all sizes," Hart said. "That's why y'all can't get no clothes... Y'all buy a bunch of stupid a** clothes, y'all gotta get them all adjusted... WNBA should stand for 'We Not About The Right Size.' I love them, we're joking."

It was all in good fun. While the three WNBA players enjoyed their experience with Hart on the night, the same cannot really be said about the NBA stars. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, in particular, seemed to be rather annoyed with the comedian.

The decision to have Hart be such a big part of the night certainly did not have the results that the NBA expected. While some loved all the jokes and comments he made, many did not. It'd be a shock if the league has Hart play this role again next year.

Kevin Hart Hilariously Impersonated LeBron James

While Hart's comments during the game might not have gone down well, his impersonation of LeBron James before it, did. He shared a video of himself at James' locker where he impersonated the NBA star.

"Hey, everybody listen up," Hart said. "We're going to go out here and play ball. I don't want you to fit in, I want you to fit the f*** out!"

Hart wore James' shoes, performed some of his moves, used some of his famous phrases, and, of course, did the powder toss. The clip went viral and the Los Angeles Lakers star even reacted to it with a story on Instagram.

"Ayo! WTH you doing in my locker man!"

James certainly saw the funny side of it. Hart should have put on that jersey too, as LeBron didn't end up playing in the game due to foot and ankle soreness. There was no time to get in a replacement but perhaps Hart, a four-time NBA All-Star Celebrity Game MVP, should have been thrown in. He might have done better in the game than as the emcee.
