LeBron James is about to go viral after getting FaceTimed by actor-comedian Kevin Hart during a live stream with Kai Cenat and Druski. James and the LA Lakers are in the spotlight despite not being part of the NBA Finals due to their search for a new head coach.
In the video below, Hart returned to Cenat's livestream and was joined by Druski. The two social media influencers were surprised when the Lakers superstar was on FaceTime with the "Borderlands" actor.
Cenat couldn't contain his excitement and even called James the N-word. It resulted in "The King" saying it back not knowing that they were on a live stream with around 700,000 people tuning in.
Druski even encouraged the four-time NBA champ to say it live. Hart would also eventually show James to the screen as proof that they were really speaking to the basketball legend.

LeBron James is good friends with Kevin Hart
Kevin Hart is a huge fan of the NBA and has been in countless games over the years. Hart is a two-time Celebrity Game MVP and has been a regular during the All-Star Weekend. He has made friends with several basketball stars, including LeBron James.
In an interview with Extra TV last January, Hart shared some details about James' 39th birthday party held in Los Angeles. He was one of many guests that also include Anthony Davis, Draymond Green, Ty Lue, Beyonce and 2 Chainz among others.
"When you get invited to a themed party, you show up as a theme so the one thing that I think that we all do is take those themes seriously. It's not something that we just throw away and go in and do last minute. You prep that because you want your costume to make a statement, so everybody that was a part of that big birthday party came in properly. We had an amazing night, 70s theme, 70s vibe. Great music, great feeling, great vibes, more importantly great love," Hart said.
LeBron James responds to rumors that he doesn't want to win anymore
With LeBron James entering his 22nd NBA season and will turn 40 years old in December, some fans thought that "The King" was not interested in winning anymore. It was a natural reaction to older players in the league, who might not have a shot at a championship unless they join a contender.
The LA Lakers superstar was not having any of it and finally broke his silence by replying to a post on X. He has been more active on social media the past few days with the Lakers on a quest to find a new head coach.
"Do they ever know what they're talking about?!" James asked.
Dan Hurley was a favorite to be the next LA Lakers head coach, but he decided to stay with the UConn Huskies. JJ Redick was also considered a favorite but was put in the backburner in the Lakers' pursuit of Hurley. The team also interviewed James Borrego twice, so the franchise has other options.
