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.
Laker games just aren’t the same without Chick..hearing Joel Myers, UGH..SO annoying..Chick used to call it as he sees it. NEVER will forget his chickisms
