I Miss Chicky Baby
i pretty much hate every play-by-play guy in the league now. just thought i'd remind some of the old timers (and some of you young bucks who were fortunate enough) of the greatest announcer in basketball broadcasting history: chick hearn.
i know this is prob in the wrong place, but it's that important to me, and if you're a fan of basketball it should be important to you too.
here are some classics (some of my favs in bold):
The game's in the Refrigerator. The door's closed, the light's out, the eggs are cooling,
the butter's getting hard, and the jello's jiggling!
Air ball
-yes, he coined this one
Attacking 47 feet
Blooooows the layup!
Boo birds
-yep, this one too
(Call it/read it with) Braille
Building a House
Bunny hop (in the pea patch)
Can't throw a pea in the ocean
Caught with his hand in the cookie jar
Coop-a-loop
Cosmetic Call
(Got em') covered like a rug on your floor
(It'll) Count if it goes... it goes!
Defense on vacation
Didn't draw iron
Dime Store Score
Dribble Drive
-and another
Faked the flop-eroo
Finger roll
-if you can believe it
Fly-swatted
Football Score
Four Point Switch
Frozen rope
-this is chicky, too
Garbage play
-yep
Garbage time
-and another
Give & go
(The) good lord and four disciples couldn't beat the Lakers tonight.
Going left to right across your radio dial.
Hanging out to dry
(In & out,) Heart-brrrreak!
He's human after all.
He's not a happy camper.
He shot that from way out yonder.
He thought he made it and so did I.
Hippity-hop dribble
(The mustard's off the) Hot-dog
If that goes in, I'm walking home. -
Kamakaze steal
Lots of referees in the building (, only 3 getting paid.)
Matador defense
(Like a) Motorcycle in a motordrome (velodrome)
Nailed to the floor
Nervous time
94x50 hunk of wood
No harm, no foul (, no blood, no ambulance)
No-look pass
Not Phi-beta-kappa
On him like a postage stamp
Picked his pocket
Picks the garbage (and put it in the trashcan)
Popcorn machine
Pressure cooker
Sends it back air-mail special.
Sets...fires...gets!!
(they couldn't beat) the Sisters of Mercy
Slaaaaaam Dunk!!!
-yes, the most famous chickism of all-time
(The Lakers are) spending too much time refereeing.
(He has) Spalding (or the Commissioner's name) tatooed on his forehead!
Swing left, shoot right
Telegraphs a pass
Throws up a brick
Throws up a prayer ... (it's answered!!!)
Tattoo Dribble
That'll get it done
Ticky-tack
Tightrope act
Took him to the third floor and left him at the mezzanine.
Triple-double
-uhhh huuuh
Twenty-foot layup
(on his) Wallet
(He's) Working on his Wrigleys
Yo-yoing up and down

Re: I Miss Chicky Baby
Nobody can ever touch Chick Hearn in terms of broadcasting. He was far and away the best broadcaster the NBA has ever had.

Re: I Miss Chicky Baby
We LA fans have truly been blessed in having the best announcers in 2 sports.
Chick Hearn with the Lakers
and Vin Scully with the Dodgers.
RIP Chick
