One delicious Mo'Ne Davis spin move was all it took to send Kevin Hart into an early retirement.
The popular comedian and star of films like Ride Along and The Wedding Ringer announced on Friday afternoon that he would no longer be participating in the NBA's Celebrity All Star Game exhibition.
Hart had become a fan favorite do to a combination of solid play and an outsized personality that played in comedic contrast to his diminutive verticality. He had won the game's MVP award for four straight years.
Hart broke the "news" on The Jim Rome Show.
“I'm officially retired from the Celebrity All-Star Game,” Hart said, via CBS Sports. “I can't do it anymore, I've done all there is to do, my kids are happy, they feel like their dad went out on top. I think if I go back it's only going to get worse, I can't go down, I can only go up, and I left with a bang. I did what all the greats say you should do.”
“That little girl embarrassed me on live television,” Hart said, referring to Davis. “It's only going to get worse if I keep going back. I don't want to see what's going to happen next.
“Basically, any 13-year old girl that can throw an 80 mile-per-hour fastball, something's wrong. I want the girl checked for substances, I said it. I want her checked, the girl's too good.”
