Numerous LA Clippers fans were left in stitches after Norman Powell's hilarious blunder when he tried to say "Martin Luther King." Powell, 31, is now in his 10th year in the NBA, but speaking to large crowds may be an area he needs to improve.

On Martin Luther King Day, a day celebrating the civil right activist, minister and political philosopher Martin Luther King, Powell was sent out to address the 15,293 fans at the Intuit Dome. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until an unbelievable error had fans around the globe laughing.

"I want to thank everybody for coming out and celebrating the life of Martin Luther Cream," said Powell.

NBA fans on social media quickly picked up on the blunder. They had a field day sharing jokes about the comical slip-up:

"Martin Luther Kream is crazy man," wrote one fan.

"I have a cream," commented another fan.

"Martin Luther CREAM get the money dolla dolla bills ya'll," said one fan.

"Called him Martin Luther cream 🤣," said a fan.

"Is that a new Ben & Jerry’s flavor?" said a fan.

NBA teams around the nation paid tribute to the late Martin Luther King on Monday. Nervousness might have led to Powell's blunder, but it serves as a learning experience for the Clippers star.

The Clippers went on to lose the game against the Chicago Bulls, bringing their season record to 24-18.

Norman Powell continued his stellar start to the 2024-25 season with a strong performance against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. The talented wing finished with a team-high 27 points and added two rebounds, two assists and a steal.

Over the season, Powell has been one of the Clippers' most efficient scorers. He leads the roster with 23.6 points per game. In arguably his strongest performance of the season, Powell finished with 37 points against the Denver Nuggets on Oct. 26, shooting 14-for-21 from the field and making seven three pointers.
