I was fortunate enough to listen to Chick call Lakers games for 30 years, there will never be another broadcaster like him again. If I’m not mistaken, he was the last play by play man to call games on television and radio simultaneously.

Chick invented terms such as: “slam dunk”, “air ball”, “triple-double”, “finger roll”, “dribble drive”, and “ticky-tack foul”
He’s the Shakespeare of basketball.
We use terms he invented all the time without even realizing it.

“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*.”
First time I watched a televised game with Chick announcing, I couldn’t believe he was calling it for both TV and radio. But he did it so well!

He put him in the popcorn machine. Yo-yoing up and down. Bunny hop in the pea patch. In and out, heartbrreak! The mustard’s off the hotdog. Caught with his hand in the cookie jar. So many great chickisms.

Sometimes I’d rather be lucky than good.

SLAAAAAAAAM DUNK!!
Made me a fan for life. Listening on the radio and watching on KCAL 9 back in the day.
Got to see the Lakers 3-peat as NBA champions before he passed.
