Vin Diesel Kicked Off The NBA All-Star Game With a Weird Speech and Fans Were Rightfully Confused

This was so bizarre.

The NBA All-Star Game is going on tonight in Utah and the festivities got off to a very strange start thanks to, well, Vin Diesel. 

I know, I know. How in the world did the "Fast and the Furious” actor have any kind of impact on this big basketball night? 

Well, for some reason the league had him take the court before the All-Star draft and he delivered a speech that had everyone confused about what they were watching and why Vin Diesel was picked to be the person to deliver such a hilariously awkward speech. 

Seriously, this was a thing that happened: 

"These players have made sacrifices, game after game, play after play, so families like mine could be inspired."

NBA fans had reactions: 

I’ve always said All-Star Weekend needs a lot more Vin Diesel

Vin Diesel just gave a speech about how he dreamed all his life of going to an NBA game. Glad he's finally getting to make that happen.
