What if Will Ferrell introduced the Suns?


In the 2008 film Semi-Pro, Will Ferrell played Jackie Moon, a wanna-be entertainment mogul who also owned and played for the fictional Flint Tropics of the ABA.

Moon, always the showman, took on the duties of introducing his starting lineup with hilarious results.

Wednesday night in New Orleans, Ferrell became a real-life public address announcer, putting a Jackie-Moon type spin on his introductions for both the Hornets and the visiting Chicago Bulls.

It got us to thinking. What would Ferrell's introductions sound like for the Phoenix Suns home game at U.S. Airways Center?

And now ladies and gentlemen, on your feet, here's the starting lineup for your Phoenix Suns.

At forward, a man who once attended a camp conducted by Dr. James Naismith himself, from Duke, Grant Hill!

At forward, from Arizona, 6-foot-11, he's the tallest kickball player in the world, Channing Frye!

At center, the second-most famous citizen from the same Polish town that produced Roman Polanski, Marcin Gortat!

At guard, from Boston College, he's tied for 236th in the league in dunks, Jared Dudley!

And at guard, he looks like Kelly Leak from The Bad News Bears, Steve Nash!

Did anyone else find it ironic that the Hornets then went out and celebrated "80s Night" by scoring less than 80 points? Maybe "60s Night" would have been a better idea?

Seriously, it was nice to see a franchise not take themselves too seriously by adding a humorous element to the spectacle that is an NBA game.

    For heavens sake.. leave the comedy to the professionals. The only joke about this is that it even got posted.
