- Colombian fan tests his dad’s NBA knowledge by showing him star player photos
- Dad struggles with the pronunciation, giving fans a dose of unexpected humor
- From “LeBron James” to “Luka Donic,” each attempt becomes more entertaining
Basketball enthusiasts come from all corners of the world, and while the love for the game remains universal, the familiarity with players’ names… not so much. In a recent viral video, a Colombian fan decided to challenge his father by showing him pictures of prominent NBA stars and asking him to identify them. The result? A side-splitting sequence of mispronunciations that had fans laughing out loud.
The fun began when the son showcased a picture of the iconic LeBron James. While most basketball aficionados would instantly recognize the face of the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, this Colombian dad took a hilarious stab at saying his name, delivering a version that was far from the original but full of earnest effort.
As the images kept coming, the names became trickier and the pronunciations even more delightful. James Harden, known for his signature beard and latest drama with the Philadelphia 76ers, received an unexpected vocal twist. Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks MVP with a notoriously challenging name, unsurprisingly had the dad stumbling and fumbling.
Golden State Warriors gem Stephen Curry and Dallas Mavericks‘ sensation Luka Doncic were not spared either. Each attempt by the dad became a comedic gold moment, adding charm to the playful challenge.

For many, the heartwarming video was a testament to the universal language of sports, laughter, and family bonds. It’s not always about getting the name right; sometimes, it’s the joy in the attempt that counts.
