You sat next to Chicky baby..that must have been an amazing experience. Have you seen the statue made in his honor right in front of Chick Hearn Court? I want to go see it. Chick was the man..a legend..
Haven’t seen the statue yet, but yeah, Chick was a legend’s legend. Best basketball announcer ever, and I’ve heard all the great ones. And it’s not even close.
Things were very relaxed at the Forum back in the early ‘70s. Kids used to walk down to right under the basket before the game and watch Wilt, West, Baylor, Goodrich, etc. warm up. ...and they’d rap with us.
I didn’t need a radio with Chick sitting so close.
