Chick kept getting better too. His streak of games was amazing. 40 years straight. The guy created most of the vernacular used by commentators today in basketball.
Chick certainly was great. Hot Rod got so much of his on-air vocabulary from him.

What I liked best about him is that he wasn't Laker homer. His call was the same for both teams - enthusiastic as well as critical when needed. (Hot Rod is a Jazz homer, but I like what Frank Layden once said about that -"He better be a homer because the Jazz are paying him.")

There won't be another like Chick.
