NBA Awards Opening Monologue | Anthony Anderson

wait, I must say that he is walking intensely. I haven't seen this kind of intensity since the Brunt era of the Celtics in the '80s and he's dressed for the occasion. The United States expects a lot from our host tonight, so the pressure is there. A few questions about Anthony's fitness for tonight's festivities. Experts found empty boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts and Anthony's trailer. ready to welcome our host Anthony Anderson good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the NBA MBA Awards being shown to fans around the world. I'm your host Anthony Anderson and I'd like to welcome you to the second annual MBA Awards presented by Kia. to you guys live from the historic barca hangar here in santa monica ok idk everyone looks at my fit like i'm crazy but the nba has a history with fashion and it's not just with new school players , check this out in the '70s we didn't know if they were gamers or gamers, yes the NBA has always been on the cutting edge of fashion but today's gamers have taken it to another level.

Now some of you may know that the fashion politics of the league were motivated by the Godfather. of modern day basketball fashion icon Allen Iverson but even back then you would never see a me wearing this and since some of you think the clothes are bad don't get me started on the hair this is the rookie of the Spurs, Lonnie Walker, looking au naturel. hair look now if his game is as solid as his roots are he'll be in the Hall of Fame by the all-star break he's got to get some recognition the people in the room have good young men in the house Ben Simmons where you've been not you been simons kyle kuzma joelle in being now yeah good this with you and rihanna whats all that thinks its gonna happen you know im a place for you actually im gonna look right at the camera rihanna give bro a chance you said that I'd hit you when I'm an All-Star.

He is an All-Star. I'll take it off Twitter so everyone can have some privacy. a spectacular 2018 season culminated in a 400 sweep by the Golden State Warriors of LeBron and his mothers now the Cavaliers fought with all their might to keep Golden State at bay but there was a moment in Game one that I need not say what it was because we all know what it was but it reminded me how we all have forgetful moments at the worst times but at one point number one mike jr. have been worried about the summit between the US and North Korea, the potential for world peace can be very distracting or Junior Smith was worried about what everyone else is worried about, well where will LeBron James go?

I think we all have a clue. LeBron's beard says take me to Philly, but his hair says take us to the Clippers, I'll let them reflect on me for quite some time before I move into the NBA team. I want to let my man Kenny Kenny Smith. I want you to know that I saw what Drake did last year. You know, I just want you to know that there won't be any bad knees or big suits jokes tonight, although technically that's considered one of those, but they're not coming from me, Kenny, we've got a big show for you tonight and three.
