No, not Joel Embiid. Or Ben Simmons. Or any Sixer.

Kevin Hart.

On Monday night, Wade went off for 28 points in a 113-103 victory to even the series at one game apiece. It was during Game 2 that he found himself jawing with the four-time NBA Celebrity All-Star Game MVP:

Wade made it known after the win that Hart motivated him to bring his A-game:

Well, Hart responded by going on Instagram to call Wade out:

He continued Tuesday: 

"#LilSwag #ComedicRockStarShit #DopePic .....This is the face I made after @dwyanewade gave me the death stare and asked me if I had enough....I didn't know what to do so I just grabbed my phone and started texting and told him to kiss my little ass. We got ourselves a series people...We are in a dog fight. I'm confident in my guys...We are young & hungry damn it!!!! Let's gooooooooo Sixers. P.S these are for @dwyanewade"
