The video starts with Kevin Hart and LBJ on a FaceTime call. They both engage in a conversation where the four-time NBA champion asks the actor-comedian the purpose behind the call. Hart informs the Lakers star that he was having the 'jitters' thinking about the NFL playoffs.
However, Bron jokingly roasts Hart, telling him that he would now call him 10 times a day since the playoffs are around the corner. James and Hart are both signed with the sports betting platform as their ambassadors. The video that Hart uploaded was a promotional one for the betting platform.
At the promo's end, Hart asks LeBron James the reason behind staying calm and the Lakers star advises him to take deep breaths to keep his nerves in check.
