Dirk Nowitzki may have competition for best NBA announcer.
Comedian Will Ferrell handled player introduction duties during last night’s New Orleans Hornets versus Chicago Bulls game, and it didn’t disappoint. I’d say it ranks somewhere between his Ric Flair-inspired character on ‘Eastbound & Down’ and posing as a Venezuelan to pitch for the Round Rock Express as the funniest Will Ferrell sports moment ever.
Highlights include Derrick Rose loving The Notebook, Luol Deng collecting rare birds (and having a pet dolphin named “Chachi”) and Gustavo Ayon being loved despite not speaking “a lick of English”. I know I said this about Dirk Nowitzki, but Will Ferrell should just announce everything.
Video of the introductions is after the jump.
[Thanks, Buzzfeed!]

I thought it was Skip Bayless’s dream to be a clown after his current profession? I mean, he’s certainly auditioning long enough…
By my count, only Okafor thought these intros were funny. Maybe Jarrett Jack?
I would have been more truthfull.
He likes to have gay sex with his best friend
He is a carrier of the AIDS virus
He cannot count to 10, and will be dead broke two years after he retires
He will end up raping someone tonight
He has 6 kids from 6 different women, doesn’t know any of their names, and hasn’t given one dime on support
Wow,tea party meeting done early today?
Government check come in yet?
Whoa, dude. You are pretty out of line there… Even if they were all true (aside from number 4 which is obviously not cool and number 5 which would just be dumb) that is not really any of our business. What is wrong with you?
Almost as funny as that Charlotte roster.
