The Los Angeles Clippers will host an NBA Jam-themed night next month to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the iconic video game's release.

The celebration will take place during the Clippers' Jan. 13 game against Sacramento Kings and feature the voice of NBA Jam himself, Tim Kitzrow, who will be calling highlights and dropping one-liners throughout the night. Fans will also go home with NBA Jam T-shirts featuring Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.

"When the Clippers asked me to be a part of NBA Jam Day and help celebrate 25 years of the game, I was like, 'Holy OOMPA LOOMPA,'" Kitzrow said in a press release, via Uproxx. "I just won the final golden ticket to the chocolate factory! NBA Jam and the Clippers, are you kidding? It's a great fit! Like peanut butter and chocolate. Nothing says NBA Jam like 'BOOMSHAKALAKA!' and nothing makes me want to scream 'BOOMSHAKALAKA!' more than seeing a patented Clipper ALLEY-OOP! You bring the peanut butter and I'll bring THE JAM!"
