I now yell “LET’S PLAY SOME BASKETBALL” after every national anthem, regardless of the sporting event I’m at.

It was one of the hardest I ever laughed when I was watching this live, and the camera panned to the players showing them all trying to hold in laughter.
Easily one of the most unintentionally hilarious moments of TV history.

As my first act as President of the United States, I will abolish the use of the national anthem at any sporting event.

the moment that made all star games unsalvageable

i will never forget this. i was watching alone and i thought i was going insane because i didn’t know if i was hearing her wrong or if she really was performing the most unhinged rendition of the star spangled banner known to man

Draymond’s face gets me every time

I have a feeling she was inspired by ‘less traditional’ performances of the anthem [(e.g. Marvin Gaye)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRvVzaQ6i8A), but this really missed the mark.
I almost, almost felt bad for her with how badly she was skewered for this.

That shot of Draymond never fails to crack me up

You could almost convince me this was scripted. It’s so bad but in an almost perfect way. Her completely unearned confidence when really forcing those notes, the camera man cutting to the players, it’s a work of cinema.

Chuck saying he needed a cigarette after that always kills me.

When peeing your pants is only the second most embarrassing moment of your professional career
With the ASG being back in LA, this was a nod to Marvin Gaye who did my favorite rendition of the song of all time and made it his own. They tried something similar with Fergie, but the problem is that she isn’t Marvin Gaye

I applaud her for trying something new with the anthem… but whew, what a miss. This was genuinely so hilarious when I was watching it live. Also props cause I’m pretty sure she was quick to own how awful this was and recognize her mistake, that kind of humility from a celebrity is almost non existent today.

Fergie is no Carl Lewis, that is for sure.

The Fray will always be the worst national anthem in sports history. Fergie is perfect by comparison
Nobody :
Fergie : I think the anthem needs to be sung like a burlesque show
Best was Chuck’s take at halftime: “I need a cigarette after that.”
This really created like 5 legendary laughing reaction gifs

Palate cleanser. Marvin Gaye All Star Game national anthem.
Let’s not, and say we did.
Lol I can’t watch this cringe again
