Giannis Antetokounmpo may have arguably the most difficult name to pronounce among all NBA players today, but for the Chicago Bulls announcer, he found another one's name more challenging to say than the Milwaukee Bucks forward's.

During halftime of the match between the Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday, the broadcaster wanted to give the reigning MVP a lot of credit for helping his team lead by 19 points at that point. However, he hilariously mispronounced his name, which immediately caught the attention of a lot of viewers.

“Russell Westbrook” does not include any syllables that offer any challenge to someone trying to say it, but the benefit of the doubt could also be given to the announcer that he was too engaged in the game and excited to discuss his first half performance, which caused him to badly mispronounce his name.

The six-time All-Star had a brilliant performance on the night, as he recorded another triple-double with 12 points, 13 rebounds, 13 assists, to go along with two steals. More importantly, the Thunder got back to their winning ways with a 101-69 victory. The win brought them back to .500, as the team now has a 3-3 win-loss slate for the season.
