Memorable calls in basketball- one phrase, try not using vids

[Hans Sprungfeld]

There was also a small article in Mojo two months ago about Hurley Sr.'s influence on Dan and his brother:
"Bob Moulds his boys into basketball royalty"

Is it an autocorrect error that produced the Husker Du reference?

EDIT: Noting that @storrsroars arrived first on the above

"Well, I guess you won."

James Naismith after the first successful basket in the first game of basketball. Later, someone suggested cutting the bottom off the peach baskets.

No. I just made this up. Mojo doesn't specialize in basketball stories.

Unpopular opinion, but I've always hated having that line as the enduring coda on our 1st NC.

Nantz had at least 48 hours and probably longer to come up with something (these things are not spontaneous) and that's the best he could do? It's not only cheesy, it's kinda demeaning. "Just when you think you can't"? Who on that team or staff ever let "we can't" enter their minds? No one.

Lol, I vaguely remember thinking that was lame in real time, but frankly I was too happy to care.

Haaaaaa! The phrasing and comedic timing on this are impressive. Good work.

I had a video as a kid called "NBA Awesome Endings"
I loved it like a family member. (Along with NBA Superstars and the Larry Bird and Red fundamentals video)..
There was a segment with great, legendary buzzer beaters and the legendary calls that went with them.

“Uconn fans are spoiled”- Ed Cooley

That was just a bit of an understatement, now here we are nearly 2 years since that quote and back to back titles.

Okay, this one kind of sucks but I remember it...

"Folks you gotta believe because just when people say U can't, U can and UConn has won the national championship."

…..in it’s first attempt in a final. “

"Sarcastic clapping. Is that a foul?"

 

[Palatine]

Boom goes the dynamite.

"It's deep, it's outta here, and Tovar is in at third with a triple"

Scooter in the 70's, a call I will seemingly never forget

Some of the cringe worthy quotations in this thread have reminded me why I watch basketball with the sound off .
