During Tuesday's Laker's game funnyman Will Ferrell, dressed in a red coated security guard outfit, escorted former Laker, Shaquille O'Neal out of the stadium.
The Laker legend, Shaq was watching Lakers-Phoenix game court side at the Staples Center when Ferrell came up to him and pretended to escort the 7 foot 1 Shaq out of the stadium.
The whole time Ferrell stayed in character and had a hilarious straight-face and O'Neal went a long with the joke as bystanders watched and took photos of the event.
O'Neal put his hands behind his back and pretended to be handcuffed as Ferrell escorted him out of the arena.
Ferrell is from Orange County and often goes to Laker games. Yahoo Sports also reported that Ferrell's nametag read, "Ted Vagina," furthering the joke even more.
Ferrell is one of the most famous comedians in the world and has starred in hits such as "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy" with another highly anticipated Anchorman movie in production. This one is called "Anchorman: The Legend Continues," and Ferrell fans are waiting patiently for it to come to fruition.
In 1995 Ferrell joined "Saturday Night Live" and became one of the best performers on the show. He was on it for seven years and was nominated for an Emmy for his performance playing George W. Bush during the elections in 2000.
He left SNL in 2002. His other credits include, "Step Brothers" which he starred in with John C. Reilly, "The Campaign," "Stranger than Fiction" and "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby."
Shaq retired from the Boston Celtics in 2011. He played 19 seasons for the NBA and started in 1992 with Orlando Magic. "Over the course of his career, O'Neal won the two NBA scoring titles and was a first-team All-NBA selection eight times. O'Neal was a member of four NBA Championship teams, three with the Lakers and one with the Heat, and won three consecutive NBA Finals MVP awards. He was a 15-time All-Star and won 3 All-Star Game MVP awards. In 1996, O'Neal was named to the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History, despite having only played four full seasons at that point."
