The Golden State Warriors had Will Ferrell, we mean Jackie Moon, as their special guest for pre-game warmups.
You never know who is going to show up for an NBA game. When it comes to the Golden State Warriors, you never know who will actually participate in pre-game warmups as their special guest.
As the Warriors emerged from the tunnel of Chase Center for shoot-around ahead of their game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night, actor Will Ferrell ran onto the court as well, dressed up as Semi-Pro character, Jackie Moon!

Your eyes are not deceiving you. That is the owner, coach and player for the Flint Tropics, winners of the Flint Michigan Mega Bowl. Even Klay Thompson could not believe his eyes when he saw Moon on the court.
Moon did everything you expected him to do on the NBA hardwood. He passed the ball repeatedly outside of the paint, successfully made a free throw underhanded and even made a half-court shot!
Leave it to Ferrell to lighten the mood as Jackie Moon, as Golden State entered Tuesday night on a five-game losing streak. We wonder if Moon gave an inspiring pre-game speech that may have involved his famous words of advice, “everybody love everybody.”
