Kevin Hart grimaces when 6ft 8inch LA Lakers star Anthony Davis lands on top of him

Kevin Hart was seen wincing as 6ft 8inch LA Lakers star Anthony Davis landed on top of him during the Christmas Day NBA game.

The 5ft 3inch comedian, 40, grimaced as the basketball star fell backwards onto him just three months after he suffered three spinal fractures in a horror crash. 

Anthony was trying to make a last-minute shot during the game – which ended 106-111 to the LA Clippers – when he slipped and landed across the front two rows.

The Night School actor held his phone in his hand as he tried to pull Anthony back upright while the athlete floundered across the seats. 

Kevin’s wife Eniko, 35, burst out laughing as LeBron James jumped in to join the bear hug as his teammate seemed to apologise. 

In September Kevin was driving with his wife’s personal trainer Rebecca Broxterman and her fiance Jared Black when his 1970 Barracuda smashed into a tree on the Mulholland Highway.

Jared was found in the driver’s seat, according to reports, and Kevin had to be hospitalised for ten days after his spine was fused back together.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ ‘none of the three people in the car were wearing seat belts’ when the crash happened.

Kevin left the scene of the smash while his two friends remained trapped in the vehicle, according to the crash report.   

Elsewhere in Wednesday’s game Michael B. Jordan was on the receiving end of a chant by LeBron James before his Los Angeles Lakers took on their intracity rivals.

He was asked by Rachel about screening his new movie Just Mercy for the Lakers at their practice facility. 

The Black Panther star said the players’ reaction to his portrayal of a lawyer trying to get an innocent black man off death row was ‘really powerful’.

‘I think a lot of them really took to the movie, …to the emotion behind it. They understand that it’s something that has been happening. The case took place 30 years ago, but it’s still relevant today with the justice system as bias as it is,’ Michael said.

He was put on the spot in a Jump Ball segment as he was asked to pick the better superstar duo between Clippers stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George and Lakers stars LeBron and Anthony Davis.

He picked ‘LeBron and AD’.

‘I feel LeBron changed the game of basketball and AD is next in line for that. The fact that you got those two guys on the same team, their basketball IQ is incredible. Really looking forward to seeing what they do in the long run for the rest of LeBron’s career,’ Michael added.
