Philadelphia 76ers — Kevin Hart

Kevin Hart has some tough competition in this spot. Will Smith has been around forever, and Meek Mill is never afraid to show his Philly pride. But Hart takes the cake here.

Hart and Meek Mill are often together at games, especially as of last season with the Sixers’ dramatic rise in wins. Who doesn’t want to go watch Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid on a nightly basis?

Hart can’t be there every night, but he is there quite often — and made sure to make time during the playoffs.

During their second round series against the Boston Celtics last season, Hart went to Instagram with an inspiring message to the team. The team was down 3-0 when Hart recorded this. They won that night, but ultimately fell in the series, 4-1.

Hart hasn’t always been a helpful Sixers fan, however.

In Game 2 of Philly’s first round series against the Miami Heat, veteran guard Dwyane Wade scored 28 points to help the Heat beat the Sixers. Wade said after the game that Hart was to thank.

James Harden has also sourced Hart’s trash talk as motivating, prompting this article to be written about whether Hart should be banned from the sideline — and it was only kind of hyperbole.

Other Sixers fans feel the same, while some liked that he was supporting the hometown team.

Either way, you can’t deny that Hart is a hardcore, diehard Philly fan. He may go too far and may be trying too hard to be Spike Lee. But he’s sporting Philly gear nonetheless, so Sixers fans can only complain so much.
