Kevin Hart’s very long NBA All-Star game intro was weird and bad

There’s usually a bit of flair before the NBA All-Star game actually begins.
Remember Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O’Neal dancing with the Jabberwockies? Fun stuff.
This year, it was not fun stuff.
For about 30 minutes, Kevin Hart and Rob Riggle put together a Holleywood-influenced … something, including All-Star themed raps and songs by Jamie Foxx, Ludacris, Queen Latifah and that one dude from Workaholics. Then, Hart proceeded to introduce the basketball playing All-Stars — by roasting them.

Hart made fun of Goran Dragic’s breath, said Andre Drummond had a hairy back and told Damian Lillard to stop rapping.
It ranged from confusing to uncomfortable. Then, Fergie sang the National Anthem, and it took long as well.
Whatever it was, it was all certainly too long.
NBA Twitter was not happy.

Me, six months ago: Boy, wouldn't it be cool if they drafted the teams right before the game started?
NBA, now: Nah but here's this.

This how Damian Lillard looked at Kevin Hart walking off the stage after Kev dissed his rap career. Dame wasn’t messing with him in the slightest. pic.twitter.com/DYAyPiKIom

We can now stop complaining about the 2018 NBA All-Star Game pre-show, and begin complaining about the 2018 NBA All-Star Game
