Jayson Tatum Calls Out Kevin Hart
Adding to Hart's disappointment, he was called out by Celtics player Jayson Tatum in a postgame interview. Tatum trolled Hart and noted that he hopes Hart has no hard feelings and that he would still answer his phone call.
Hart quickly took to Instagram to respond in jest, calling Tatum a "F**king A**hole", although he also acknowledged Tatum's right to celebrate the Celtics' victory.
"I hope you're proud of yourself, you f**king a**hole."

Jayson Tatum's impressive performance in the game cannot be denied. Despite the Celtics being down 3-2 in the series, Tatum led his team to victory in Games 6 and 7, scoring an incredible 51 points on 17-for-28 shooting from the field, along with 13 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and zero turnovers in the do-or-die finale on Sunday. It was a memorable and historic performance that helped secure Boston's place in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Although disappointed by the Sixers' loss, Hart and other fans are acknowledging Tatum's stellar performance and the Celtics' hard-fought victory.
Last year, the Celtics also overcame a 3-2 series deficit against the Milwaukee Bucks in the second round to eventually make it to the NBA Finals. This year, they will face the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, a rematch of last year's showdown, which promises to be an exciting and closely contested series.
The first game is scheduled to take place on Wednesday at TD Garden.
