Will Ferrell Pokes Fun at Bulls, Hornets

Funny man Will Ferrell did the honors of introducing the players at Wednesday night's matchup between the Chicago Bulls and the New Orleans Hornets.

Not only did he do the honors, but he also took some artistic liberties.

The former Saturday Night Live comedian -- known for his impersonation of beloved Chicago Cubs announcer Harry Caray -- ribbed the starting five of each team.

Who knew? But among the Bulls are:

"He still lives with his mother" Carlos Boozer...
"He collects rare birds and has a pet dolphin named Chachi" Luol Deng...
"A Scorpio and a horrible dancer" Joakim Noah ...
"He once at 20 hot dogs in an hour" Ronnie Brewer and
"His favorite movie is 'The Notebook'" Derrick Rose

No, really.  Watch:

By the way, the Bulls went on to beat the Hornets 90-67.
