*Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum gave Kevin Hart a shout-out during a post-game interview after the team’s win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.
After Tatum served up a Game 7 record of 51 points against Philadelphia, he mentioned Hart who is a hardcore Sixers fan, NBC Sports reports.
“Special shoutout to Kevin Hart,” Tatum said. “I want him to still answer my phone calls even after today. No hard feelings.”
Once Hart caught word of the message, he responded in a humorous but NSFW Instagram video post.
“All right, I’m hurt,” Hart said in the video. “The world knows it. I don’t have to hide it. What I’m not is a sore loser. It’s not about how you win, it’s how you lose. I’m going to lose like a man. I’m going to stand on mines. Jayson Tatum, I hate it but I got to give you props. Brother, congratulations. A friend you are. A true competitor you proved to be today. You showed up. You showed out. You put your foot in our ass.”
Hart continued, “What I’m going to do is celebrate you, brother,” Hart said. “You already know what I’m about. I’m about hard work. You put in the work, which is why it paid off. So this shot goes to you. You, Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics. Congrats. Congrats on your win. Hard work tastes different. Congrats.”

“I hope you’re proud of yourself, you f**king a**hole.”
