NEW YORK (AP) — Little League phenom Mo’ne Davis was pretty impressive on the basketball court, too.
Playing in the All-Star Celebrity Game against opponents more than twice her age, Davis momentarily silenced trash-talking “Wedding Ringer” star Kevin Hart, driving past him for an easy layup Friday night.
The 13-year-old blew past Hart, the game’s MVP for the fourth time, with a spectacular spin move. After the basket, Hart — who like Davis is from Philadelphia — said, “No excuses” as he tried to score on the other end.
Madison Sqaure Garden was abuzz with stars from the NBA, WNBA and Hollywood two nights before the NBA All-Star Game is played Sunday. But much of the attention was on the teenager, who got one of the loudest ovations from the crowd when she was introduced before the game.
