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.
