I dont think any team has won 33 in a row like the Lakers did in early 70’s. Chick Hearns creative descriptions really added to the enjoyment. He could really rattle off the info on a play. Some fun ones below...
“Puts him in the popcorn machine,
Lakers can’t buy a basket,
Lakers can’t throw a pea in the ocean,
Defense is so bad, my grandma could score,
Mustard came off the hotdog,
Blows the layup!,
Dribble drive,
Sulam Dunk!!
Shoots a leapin’ lena,
Finger roll,
Game’s in the refrigerator,
He’s all over the place like a cheap suit,
No harm, no foul, or
No harm, no teeth, no blood, no foul
and finally...
He coulda’ made that call in braille...

Yep. Chick and Vinny. The two best EVER. And both in Los Angeles (back when L.A. was still part of America).

You cut the Refrigerator quote short.....

“You can put this one in the refrigerator. The door’s closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter’s getting hard and the Jell-O is jiggling”
