Kevin Hart didn't hold back with 'witty' reply to Katt Williams after accusations

Kevin Hart retaliated against Katt Williams during their encounter at the game between the 76ers and the Knicks on Friday night. The NBA Unplugged celebrity referenced some bizarre Knicks-focused "truths" about the fellow comedian, coming on the heels of Williams' recent criticism of Hart's rise to fame in the comedy world. Williams had directed his jibes at Hart during his guest appearance on Shannon Sharpe's podcast, Club Shay Shay, just a couple of days earlier.

"You may not be aware of this interesting tidbit about the New York Knicks - Katt Williams was actually their owner," Hart disclosed during the Knicks vs 76ers matchup on Friday. "Rumour has it that he then returned the team, receipt in hand."

Adding to this, Hart said, "He's made history by being the first person to ever do such a thing. He owned them for 15 days before returning them."

Both Hart and Williams are renowned stand-up comedians who have made their mark in the world of film and television. During the Friday night game between the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers, Hart appeared as a guest on NBA Unplugged. NBA Unplugged is a stand-in broadcast for the NBA games on one of ESPN's networks, similar to the format of Peyton and Eli Manning's Monday Night Football.

While Williams targeted several stand-up comedians and well-known individuals on Wednesday, Hart's retaliation was noteworthy given the parallels between their respective careers.
