Jimmy Kimmel performed his famous “Lie Witness News” bit and fooled a Warriors fan into believing LeBron James changed his name to Michael Jordan.

Having one of the better late night shows out there, Jimmy Kimmel is known for performing hilarious skits with everyone from famous actors to unsuspecting people walking the streets. Now, with the NBA Finals on ABC, Jimmy Kimmel Live has been rolling out all the hits with a basketball theme.

The show’s latest NBA-related viral video came out on Wednesday, and it’s a “Lie Witness News” bit mocking actual news reports regarding the league.

The video talked about possible moves each team should make, and the Golden State Warriors fans were tricked and exposed for not knowing much about their favorite team.

Just watch the hilariousness here:

Fans seemed clueless as to who some of the people being mentioned were, but seemingly didn’t want to look silly in front of a camera.

The best part had to be the guy who was told that LeBron James changed his hame to Michael Jordan. Well, the man claimed he found out earlier in the day, but he figured it was a good moved on James’ part because it would help with marketing.

Really funny to see how some “fans” can come out of nowhere to act like diehards, meanwhile looking ridiculous in the process.
