NBA stars bravely attempt to pronounce Irish players’ names

This weekend sees Griffith Swords Thunder take on Killester in the Hula Hoops Men's National Cup final and it should be a cracker.

Both sides will battle it out for the coveted title after another season of high drama and close calls. In the women's final, meanwhile, Glanmire take on Liffey Celtics. Courtside Collective was in London recently and asked some members of the Denver Nuggets and Indiana Pacers to give their predictions of both matches. The NBA stars made a fist of Irish pronunciations but some fared better than others...

• Eoghan Kiernan was 'Oaken.... I don't know'
• Grainne Dwyer was 'Gran Dwyer'

The two videos are definitely worth a watch and the NBA stars give it a good old college try. Killester vs. Swords https://youtu.be/nEN0BBgktPQ Glanmire vs. Liffey Celtic https://youtu.be/kCFlSbay1n4
