Oh Richard Branson, it’s tough not to like you. May we call you Dick? Yes, let’s roll with that.

Dick was in Chicago yesterday ahead of the launch of the first Virgin Hotel (Google with caution) and popped in to watch his first ever basketball game. Aside from some awkward courtside interviews where he demonstrated his complete lack of knowledge regarding the game, he also allowed the Chicago Bulls mascot to turn him into the world’s most valuable bowling ball.

Below is the sequence of shots showing the billionaire hurtling across the court:

We break quickly from this sequence of photos to bring attention to Branson’s resemblance to Falcor, the flying dog dragon from The NeverEnding Story.

Uncanny, isn’t it? Right, back to Branson and the story of the human bowling ball…

Yes, he survived to tell the tale. Next up may we suggest someone tells Donald Trump he should fling himself into a pit of live crocodiles. Then again, even they would probably find him devoid of any taste.
