Chickie Baby Bye Bye Chick Hearn, Voice of Los Angeles Lakers, Dies at 85. Chick Hearn, the radio and television voice of the Lakers for 42 seasons who is credited with adding "slam dunk" and "air ball" to the pro basketball lexicon, died on Monday in California. By Robert D. Mcfadden. [New York Times: NYT HomePage]
I grew up in LA listening to Chick. He made the games fun. And I slip in a "It's nervous time at the Forum" whenever things look a bit bleak. "Popcorn Machine" was a total staple of jabs on the outdoor hoop courts at George Washington Elementary when someone got totally faked out. Usually me. |
