Deciphering Chickisms
Chick: Jordan brings the ball up the court.
Rob: SLOW DOWN. I can't understand what's going on! What was Jordan doing
again?
Chick: Kobe is hammered by Jordan! No harm, no foul, no blood, no ambulance!
Rob: Huh? What happened? I better pull out my Chick handbook. What is he
saying?
Chick: Kobe is on a breakaway....... SLAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMM DUNK!
Rob: Damn, I have to pull out the Chick Hearn conversion book again! What is
he saying! Just call the game! A dunk is a dunk! What is a SLAM dunk?
Chick: Jordan throws up an airball!
Rob: Huh? What is an airball? A ball filled with air? I don't understand!
This guy sucks! I just can't understand what he's saying!
Chick: Hamilton can't throw a pea in the ocean!
Rob: What? What does the ocean have to do with this? I don't understand!
What is going on in the game? Is someone at the ocean right now?
Chick: The Lakers are up by 20 over the Wizards. We're deep into garbage time.
Rob: Garbage time? What is that? Is it time to throw out the garbage? Just
call the game already! We don't need to know when you're throwing out the
garbage!
Chick: The balls rolls around like a motorcycle in a motordrome!
Rob: What is the motorcycle doing? Going in a straight line?
Chick: The Lakers pull off 12 unanswered points!
Rob: What does that mean? That's it! I quit! This guy is WAY too complicated
for me!
