Yo, what's up? This is Sean Phillips for Young Hollywood at the Celebrity All-Star Game. I'm trying to find out why they don't got a baller like me playing on the West team.
Getting busy. Can you take Kevin Hart's MVP?
I'm going to do my best. Can you dunk?
Now, I'm going to do my best. Listen, he's not going for the repeat. We're putting blocks on that. I thought he was on my team. That would have been good for him. He's not on my team, so I'm going to have to put some defense on him. So, what about you? Oh, you're going to give him buckets on the other side?
I don't know about all the buckets on the other side. Right now, I'm 30 years old. My focus is running and defense. That's it.
Will you repeat as MVP?
I don't think that's a question. That's more of a fact. Yes. You're looking at a person that's about to set a record. Two-time MVP, two trophies, two knees, two elbows, two chests. This is the man right here, Kevin Hart.
Sean, can we see you checking?
Yeah, if I have to. But see, I got Bruce Bowen on my team. And Bruce, I nicknamed him The Rash when he was in San Antonio because he irritates the hell out of everybody on the court. So, all I have to do is put Bruce on him, and he's my lockdown now, baby. Kevin Hart won't even get a shot off.
First of all, I'm going to block all your shots for sure.
Okay, I like that. That's that's that's the plan right now. Yes sir. I'm going I'm going to outshine him right now. That's the plan. I hear him talking about MVP, MVP, but Andy called you out. I saw him do your your thing a little early when he was on the red carpet.
Called me out.
I'm just saying. He's doing a lot of talking, a lot of talking.
Well, that's what Kevin Hart does. You know, when you're two feet tall, you have to talk a lot to make yourself seem bigger than you really are. So, it's all good. I expect Kevin to talk a lot.
Who gets put in the blender first?
Who gets put in the blender first? Well, whoever decides to step out there in Nastyville. That's what I call it, Sean. When I'm dribbling the ball, if you want to come out there, it's Nastyville. Because this is about to get nasty.
Who are you looking forward to most to playing with today? It's got to be somebody.
Yeah, um, it's hard to say. The guy sitting next to you, Usain Bolt. That guy's kind of the man. Like, he's he's fast as hell. Like, he says he's going to 360 dunk. I'm excited to see what he's going to do. Usually sprinters usually can get up. So, you throw the Are y'all on You on his team?
I'm not sure, actually.
Well, you are. He said he's blocking all shots if you're not on his team. But if you're on his team, just throw the oof up. I'll say.
All right, perfect. Done. You go get it.
I mean, I like playing against people like I hope I'm playing against Usain Bolt and I'm I think I'm playing against Bruce Bowen. So, I'm ready to go in.
I'm banking on you getting at least four or five dunks today. What do you think?
I'm on it. That's what I'm talking about. That that's all I'm thinking about since I've been here. I'm not a good shooter. I better get some dunks.
Watching everybody else make baskets. I'm I've already planned. I'm going to fake an injury from the top of the game. So, like, when you see me grab my ankle and fall, like, no, I'm not really hurt. I just don't want to embarrass myself in the crowd.
Are you going to look fly in the game? Is what I want.
I'm going to look I'm going to look great. I'm going to look great. That's not a question. That I can do. It's the whole dribbling and passing and shooting thing that that becomes a problem for me, yeah.
At Subway, what would be your ideal sandwich? What would you get?
Well, here's the thing, actually. When I for a while, I ate Subway every single day. Exact same thing for like four months straight. Every single day. It was a footlong turkey sandwich with American cheese, lettuce, salt and pepper and mayonnaise.
No way you had a footlong.
Swear to God, every time, every time. I would get turkey and cheese, uh, would have to get onions, uh, some green or red peppers, tomatoes for sure. Uh, light mayonnaise and mustard.
Did you eat fresh today?
Uh, yes, I did actually. I had a I had a sandwich on the way over, but I didn't eat Subway fresh, unfortunately.
It's all good. No one's offered me any Subway. I would have eaten it.
I had Subway. I always get the veggie sandwich on flatbread with vinaigrette oil and jalapeños.
You know what? I did just have some Subway. I just try to keep it, you know, real lean with the meats, a nice turkey sandwich, a little lettuce, tomato, little oil and vinaigrette on there. You know, just try to keep it nice and lean and not eat too much too much bad food.
Two-time MVP, two trophies, two knees, two elbows, two chests.
