Will Ferrell Has Bankruptcy Attorneys in Splits with His NBA Announcer Act
With the economy only limping back on the road to recovery from the recent spell of recession, bankruptcy attorneys have been in a spot of bother for some days now. A much-needed diversion came when they tuned in to watch the NBA game between Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Hornets, but not in the form of some explosive slam-dunk action. Rather it was actor and comedian Will Ferrell who had the bankruptcy attorneys in splits with his announcing act.
Will Ferrell’s Impressive NBA Announcer Debut
Will Ferrell introduced the starting lineups before the Bulls-Hornets game in his inimitable style. In town for his new political comedy Dog Fight, Ferrell did not have the time to research into the biographies of the players but he more than made up with his imagination and the result had the stadium chuckling, guffawing, and roaring in laughter. The players themselves, with whose biographies Ferrell took creative license, couldn’t suppress smiles.
Hilarious
For instance, Ferrell introduced Bulls forward Carlos Boozer as a 6-foot-9er who still stays with this mother and informed fans that the Hornets guard Jarrett Jack dreamed of becoming a rodeo clown after he hung up his boots. He especially had the audience in fits when he told them that Joakim Noah, the Bull center, had two left feet and that Bulls forward Luol Deng collected rare birds and had a pet dolphin named Chachi.
A Classic
Will Ferrell had stepped into the shoes of ABA player Jackie Moon in the movie Semi-Pro and played NASCAR driver Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights. It was his first time as an announcer in a NBA game, and bankruptcy attorneys wish this is not his last. No one can ever forget The Other Guys though, a movie of hilarious proportions.
