Ron Baker is Ron Burgundy? 

The former Knicks guard was recently cut by the team in order to add Allonzo Trier on an NBA contract, but the 25-year-old seems to be taking it all in stride. 

On Friday, Baker showed his class by channelling his inner Ron Burgundy -- which is what former teammate Carmelo Anthony used to call him -- by posting a meme of his head photoshopped on the Will Ferrell character's body. 

The meme read, "I'm kind of a big deal. Stay classy, New York! -Burgundy"

Baker, signed as an undrafted free agent with the Knicks out of Wichita State in 2016, averaged 14.7 minutes per game in three seasons with the Knicks.
