Will Ferrell amps up the crowd at a Pacers game.

Will Ferrell made quite the impression at a recent Indiana Pacers game. The actor and comedian was spotted electrifying the crowd during Monday’s pregame festivities.

He also got a chance to go behind the scenes and chat with the team and head coach, Rick Carlisle.

This was Ferrell’s first time at a Pacers game, though it’s far from his first sports outing. He’s often seen at baseball games and has a self-reported arsenal of 63 pitches.

But it was all basketball this week, and the comedian didn’t disappoint.

Before the tip, Ferrell had a chance to show off some of his own skills. He warmed up on the court, displaying a jump shot that wasn’t half-bad.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to get Indiana over the hump. The Pacers fell to the 76ers in a close game, 147-143. Despite the loss, it seemed to be a fun night for everyone involved.
