Don’t be surprised if the Bulls are introduced with fake names tonight when they play the Hornets Wednesday night in New Orleans.
They’ll be the visiting team, so they’ll be an easy target for the man doing the introductions—comedian Will Ferrell.
Ferrell is in the Crescent City shooting the movie Dog Fight, in which he and Hangover star Zach Galifianakis play political rivals who are seeking the same congressional seat. And Ferrell has been showing up at Hornets games, hence the invite to do tonight’s intros.
And perhaps Ferrell will pose for a photo with Bulls backup Brian Scalabrine.
During the shootaround this morning, coach Tom Thibodeau was asked about Ferrell resembling Scalabrine, and the coach responded, “That’s a good point. He does.”
