Lakers Chick Hearn Magic Johnson

[Angelslover9]

82-53 in halftime, Lakers automatically won but by how much

[jreign]

Shoulda been a 10 pointer.

[3chrds]

much love for CHICK!

[ffgiantsteps]

When Jesus comes back... Chick will announcing it... I'm sure of it...

[buytheredcar]

Chick has always admitted hes always just guessed at the distance thing.

"20 feet" jumper. He knows its not 20 feet, its just a way to give the radio listener an image.

These were the glory years of the NBA as far Im concerned.

Miss ya Chick!

"This game is in the refrigerator the light is out the butters getting hard the eggs are cooling and the jello is jiggling!"

[415Riggs]

never question chick hearn ever. he said 10 feet inbounds  which is damn close. look at the replay... maybe 8-9 foot inbounds....but remember ur looking at athletes that are 6'10+ so it throws ya there

[Rexanglorum]

I love Chick Hearn but his geometry was a little off, Magic was between the sideline and the key so because it had to go at an angle to get to the hoop it was more of an 85 footer.

RIP to the best commentator in basketball history and maybe all of sports

[415Riggs]

@Rexanglorum if u look at it in real time what would u have called? i agree with chick he didnt have replay at the time of the call. bless ya chick

[415Riggs]

by the way chick was 6'2

[415Riggs]

what was greater ? chicks call or magics shot?

[Blackbond007]

I was watching this game on TV. It was NUTS!!! Chick Hearn is the best basketball commentator ever!!

[kidyubyub]

You are right about Chick. We owe most of our basketball jargon to this man. I sure miss him calling the games here in L.A. I have most of the 80's playoff games on VHS. They are great to watch every so often.

[2nd2nun1]

Wow, Keith Erickson. Talk about memories.

[cheezzboy76]

I like watching the one guy in the crowd going down the steps in the background...he never seen the shot, that would suck to be at the game and miss it.

[24n8]

82-53 at halftime? LOL.

[jukeboxflip]

man i wish Chick was still here today. joel meyers is ok. he's nowhere near Chick though. RIP Chick

[415Riggs]

same result :)

[Specialized1989]

nuggets lakers all over again, who knows what crazy stuff might happen this time!

[zidane81]

i know what happened....

[Specialized1989]

the lakers won! haha

[rominato]

Chick Hearn was the best ever. Period.

[unclejuniorsoprano]

@rominato Well put re: Chick Hearn. He was the very best. I don't even listen to the game anymore. Without Chick, it's just a lot of babble.

[clatchmsu]

magic is the man.

[Soniaspapa]

Only Magic would do something like that. Pure Magic!

[melovely25]

This was a great shot and chick was the best and magic was too.

[pockings]

Not only do I miss the 80's showtime Lakers. I miss Chick Hearn too ;)

[robs3131]

Best part is Lakers had 82 at the half

[lakersardabest]

the shot was still crazy

[lakersardabest]

that would be crazy if that shot was to win the championship

[tbed63]

you must admit that's a great shot? come on buddy. that's some huge admission. you mean you admit you can see?

[Funky770]

Even though I'm a Celtics fan, I must admit that was A GREAT SHOT!

[darbstar1]

sorry, i mean "butter's" gettin' hard...see...This is why no one will ever announce a basketball game like him again.

[justjed123]

i feel you on that one man. announcer like no other, the greatest to ever grace and commentate a basketball game. "this game is in the refrigerator, the doors are closed the lights are out the eggs are cooling the butter's gettin hard and the jello is jigiling!"

[darbstar1]

...and Chicky baby.Oh Chicky :-)...The mustard is off the hot dog...its in the refirgerator, doors closed lites out eggs are gettin' hard and the jello's jigglin'!

[darbstar1]

Oh yeah! He is definitely the greatest. Did jordan ever make a shot that far away? Did Jordan shoot a hook shot over TWO dudes. I mean MJ can break a double team but not like Magic or LeBron...(hint when double team comes pass to open player). Magic was the best handler had the best vision and was the best leader of any team...almost ever! Move over Brady.

[JillStMarks]

This is why Magic is the greatest player of all times..........No doubt!

Thank for posting this, I remember when this happened, and I'm happy to see it on youtube

[litjourney]

It sucks that there aren't any more play by play guys like Chick anymore.
