With the release of "Taken 3" fast approaching, Liam Neeson was joined by NBA star John Wall in a spoof for the upcoming action film.
ESPN has released a parody video to promote the New York Knicks versus Washington Wizards game schedule for Christmas Day.
In the short teaser, fans will see Neeson make a threatening phone call to the Washington Wizards star player. The "Taken"-inspired message warns Wall that the Wizards were going to be beaten by the Knicks come Christmas Day.
"Listen to me," began the 62-year-old. "The team I support has a very particular set of kills -- Skills they've acquired over a fearless career."
"The move fast. They shoot with unthinkable accuracy. They know how to defend themselves and they train around the clock," detailed the Irish actor known for his portrayal of Bryan Mills, a former government operative.
Promoting the NBA game to take place over the holiday season, Liam continued while talking to Wall, "What that means for you is this -- on Christmas Day, they're gong to unleash their skills on you and your team and they're going to defeat you."
During the entire discussion, the All-Star point guard plays it cool giving only simple audio responses. Eventually, when Liam's speech is over, Wall's response is cool, calm and very collected.
The 24-year-old baller simply says, "Good luck."
John Wall is Unstoppable
John Wall has had a steller season so far. The Washington Post reports that the point guard has been named Eastern Conference player of the week following the Wizard's 4-0 record during the period of Dec. 8 to Dec. 14.
Wall's stats include an average of 18.3 points, 11.8 assists, the best in the league so far as well as five rebounds, 2.5 steals, and 1.3 blocks during the four game stint. Wall shot above 50 percent from both the field and the three as well.
This recognition marks the fourth time the athlete has claimed the award. The Washington Post further recalls that last season, Wall received the award twice.
