Chick Heam: An original
Sports
off
Campus
You know him as the voice in,
the AM/PM Mini-Market ads,'
the man who would rather talk to
JErank Belcher about a chicken
sandwich than the other conve­
nient store enthusiast, Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar.
The voice in the television and
radio ads is that of Los Angeles
Lakers Sportscaster Chick
Hearn. You may also have seen
Chick in the movies whenever a
Hollywood producer feels the
need for stereotypical sights and
sounds of sportscasting.
But he is more than that.
Hearn is the father of such basic
basketball terminology as “back-
-doorlland “slam-dunk.”
Creative cliches just roll off his
tongue. Sometimes he needs to
slow his mouth down to allow
the game to catch up. And while
that mouth is running, some
things fall out that you’re sure
even Chick doesn’t hear.
Chick is available to Portland
via satellite television. Thank
goodness that a. town convicted
to a life sentence of Bill Schonely
still has some vehicle for escape.
Diank you technology for the
clever, colorful, and informative
ramblings of a man known in LA
simply as “Chick.”
-(on Ricky Green) “You have
to give him a seven or eight yard
-cushion because he can outrun
half the cars in the parking lot.”
-(on Lasalle Thompson’s poor
shooting) “A couple more bricks
-(on Jerry Sichting’s hot
streak) “I don’t believe it and I
don’t think his mother does
either. If she did, she’d call him
in and spank him.”
-(on Mychal Thompson’s air­
ball) “If there was a window in
this building, I would’ve thought
the wind was blowing.”
-(on himself) “That’s the way
I see .it from where I’m sitting,
and I’m sitting very high. This is
the first time I’ve worn a
parachute to do a game.”
-(on James Bailey’s weight)
“They ought to put him on a
treadmill for about a month. He
is really fat.”
-(on Kareem getting a loose
ball) “And Kareem says look
what.,I found. Kareem saw a
quarter down there, was going
to pick is up and the ball
came.”
-(on Kareem’s lazy play)
“Kareem was open but he was
taking a siesta. Now he takes his
sombrero off and passes out to
the Coop.”
-(on James Worthy missing a
dunk) “The mustard’s off the
hot dog.”
-(whenever the Lakers ice a
win) “This game is in the old
Admiral Refrigerator. The door
is closed, the lights are out, the
Jello’s jiggling, the eggs are
coolin’, and the butter is getting
hard.”
“This is he World-Champion
Lakers Basketball Network.”

like that and there’ll be a new
chimney for Santa.”
-(on a referee’s no call) “No
harm, no blood, no whistle, no
ambulance.”
-(on a ticky-tack foul) “I’ve hit
Marge harder than that going
down the hall and she didn’t even
say‘Hi.’”
-(on a player’s complaint)
“Polynice says ‘He’s holding my
arm,’ the ref says, ‘You’ll get us­
ed to that.’”
-(on Tyrone Bogues travelling)
“He did the bunny-hop in the pea
patch. If the peas get any higher
you won’t see him.”
-(on Jeff Lamp’s shot) “He
has such a pretty form. So does
that lady over there with Josh.”
