Vin Diesel was trolled for his opening at the NBA All-Star game at the Vivint Arena, Salt Lake City on Sunday. Diesel was called upon to announce the game.
In his speech on Sunday, Diesel said, “As a kid from New York, he used to dream about coming to a NBA game”.
While many congratulated him for finally achieving his dream, others called his speech “awkward” and questioned if he should even be introducing the game in the first place.
“Vin Diesel had no idea where he was lmao,” a Twitter user said.
“After that intro I am more convinced than ever that Vin Diesel is a robot. That could not have been a living breathing human…” another one added.
One of the Twitter users also jokingly questioned if Diesel paid the NBA for the introductions. Another remarked that NBA is pushing its luck this year by bringing in Malone and Diesel to the game.
Diesel commented in his speech, “We’re here to witness the best players in the world, to experience true competition in its pure form”. This stirred the internet with laughter as fans claim that the All-Star Games is not one for competition.
LMAOOOO, what is this? Vin Diesel? This ain’t 2003, and there is absolutely zero competition in the NBA All Star Game. No legends have ever been made during it either 😂 https://t.co/0RhkPlLbJ4
