Will Ferrell must be trying to get into the Guinness World Records for Most Sports Comedies In A Two-Year Period.

He’s already appeared in Kicking And Screaming and Talladega Nights and has recently been shooting ice-skating comedy Blades Of Glory. And now Hollywood’s Busiest Funny Man™ is hitting the basketball court for New Line’s Semi-Pro.
