Tyson Chandler, Shawn Marion and Kevin Love have found an interesting way to occupy themselves during the NBA lockout.

Rather than heading overseas to play professional basketball abroad, the three big men have created a video for Funny or Die that should provide some serious humor to fans starving to see them in action.

Using the current work stoppage as a jumping-off point, the three players were locked into a middle school gym, but the kids in attendance didn't exactly embrace their presence.

Being cast as the nerds among the youngsters, the video shows off Shawn Marion's new blond mohawk, and there's no doubt that it is his most interesting hairstyle to date.

Tyson Chandler tries his luck on the dance floor in this one as he attempts to cut in and dance with one of the young females, but he's quickly rebuffed and sent back to his folding chair.

The hilarious video also shows Kevin Love giving relationship advice, but the highlight of all the action doesn't come until near the end when Marion shreds the dance floor by break-dancing to the best of his abilities.

Although it's obviously stricken with hyperbole, the three NBA players do an excellent job of providing entertainment in the video, and there's no doubt that Marion has a future in acting should he pursue that avenue.

I never thought of Chandler, Love or Marion as anything other than solid on-court contributors, but after seeing the trio excel together in the Funny or Die video, who knows what might be the next step?
