The first-ever NBA Awards got off too a hilarious start.
On Monday night, the ceremony opened with a skit starring this yearâs host Drake as well as legendary comedian Will Ferrell. The two roasted Toronto Raptorsâ shooting guard DeMar DeRozan, while also schooling him on the art of handshakes.
âStarting today, if your handshakes suck, we will trade you!â Ferrellâs character shouts to the team.
Farrell and Drake then demonstrate the different varieties of a celebratory handshake. There was the âJengaâ shake, âThe Gossip Queen,â âThe Prom,â âThe Black Dad,â and last, but not least, âThe Obi-Wan Kenobi.â
You can watch the opening skit in the video above. The inaugural NBA Awards are being broadcast live right now on TNT.
