Liam Neeson, John Wall join forces to promote some basketball

On Dec. 25, the New York Knicks will host the Washington Wizards, with the game being televised on ESPN.

The Wizards are one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference, and right now are sporting an 18-6 record.

The Knicks, on the other hand, are one of the worst teams in the entire NBA, with just a 5-22 mark.

Earlier in the season, the Wizards knocked off the Knicks at Madison Square Garden by a score of 98-83.

Get excited, folks.

OK, maybe not. But in an effort to help drum up interest for the game, ESPN — with help of Wizards star John Wall as well as Liam Neeson — created a promo. Shot in the mold of Neeson’s famous “Taken” movies, it’s actually quite entertaining.

And, probably, will be more interesting than the actual game itself. But we digress.
