The Verdict On Samuel L. Jackson's Game Intros

Samuel L. Jackson handled the PA assignments of introducing the staring lineups in New Orleans for the Hornets and Clippers tilt which also featured the return of Chris Paul.

All in all we expected better but you can judge for yourself.




Aside from his intro of Chris Paul, which wasn't all that stunning and his Pulp Fiction reference before introducing the Hornets there really isn't anything that made you laugh or get excited that Samuel Jackson was introducing starting lineups at an NBA game.

The irony is how the Hornets did go on to win the contest and spoil CP3's return to the Big Easy after Jackson really stood up for the Hornets saying "...you will know their name is the Hornets when they lay their vengeance upon you".

Well the Clippers felt that vengeance for sure in what was a physical contest from the opening tip.

Hornets PA Announcer: Samuel L Jackson Set To Introduce Starting Lineups

Samuel L. Jackson has been seen at many New Orleans Hornet's homes games this season while he's been in town shooting the movie "Django Unchained". The actor will take to the public address system when the Los Angeles Clippers visit the Hornets Thursday Night and will introduce the starting lineups for each team.



The star power will also be in full effect as this will mark the first time former Hornet Chris Paul will lace them up in the Hive for the opposing team.



Will Ferrell handled starting introductions earlier this season at a Hornets games while he was in town filming a movie. Ferrell was around the arena so much he was routinely seen running pick up games or shooting around hours before the games. Ferrell's introductions were a part of "80's night at The Hive". In case you missed those introductions...here they are...



For Kids night the Hornets have also allowed kids from local schools to introduce the starting lineups.

At least the Hornets are keeping it interesting during what has been a dreadful season since Chris Paul and David West moved on. West made his return to New Orleans a few weeks ago and received a warm reception and video tribute, we can expect the same if not more will be done for Chris Paul who gave everything to that city during the first six years of his career.
