With the NFL season in full swing, punters are diligently studying and planning their bets for the week. From single bets to massive accumulators, gambling has become a major part of the sports world in 2024.
DraftKings Ads for LeBron James and Kevin Hart
That’s what you call marketing, baby!
The first reason is that Hart is making fun of James’ age. The actor takes a dig at the NBA star, saying that the NFL “wants someone who can run a 40, not someone who’s 40” and doesn’t confuse play calls with bingo numbers. Hart also appreciates James’ age, saying that he’ll “give everyone caramel candies” to celebrate.

The second ad is all about touchdown dances. End zone celebrations have become a norm in the NFL, with players finding unique ways to incorporate social trends into the game.
Hart and James go back and forth, giving their best reenactments of what they declare to be the best touchdown dances of all time.

How old is LeBron James?
James is 39 years old. He was born on December 30, 1984, which means he will be 40 during the 2024-25 NBA season.
Ironically, Hart is actually older than his commercial counterpart. Born on July 6, 1979, the comedian is 45, about five and a half years older than James.
Kevin Hart height vs LeBron James height
If it’s not obvious enough from the commercials, James is taller than Hart, by a lot.
James stands at 6’4″, making him taller than the average NBA player. That puts him more than a foot taller than Hart, who has said his the height is 5-5.
That gives the four-time NBA champion a considerable size advantage over his smaller co-star.
