    I love how his voice breaks a bit at the end, it adds a touch of sincere admiration to the announcing. It's the same way I felt kind of (but I felt more drunk hah!).

    I love Wheels. I've never heard an announcer who was more of a homer, had half his passion, or was anywhere near as emotional invested in the games as this guy is.

    The ups and downs of wheels. It's great when something amazing happens because you can actually feel the emotion in his voice.... but it's a double edged sword. Thanks for the share though. The last 40 seconds of the game were something of legend.

    Barrett's getting into that habit, and I hope he changes. He gets so depressed when the other team makes a run. Did no one tell either of these guys that basketball is a game of runs?

    In the ups and downs of wheels the wheels go round and round till you have to step out and walk at a gas station because basketball is a game of runs.

    That is fabulous! I love his voice cracking at the end. What a game!!! The Garden was off the hook last night. Sooooooo much fun. Every one jumping up and down, strangers hugging and high five-ing. You can't beat it, man. This kind of stuff brings the best out of human kind. I'd hate everyone if it wasn't for sports. Haha....
