Ok, I’m going to admit this. And then you will all gasp, eyes wide with shock. And then you will forget I told you this.

I watched the NBA Nuggets/Heat game last night even though The Notebook, The Devil Wears Prada and Raising Helen were all on t.v. too. (One side note: Who put them all on t.v. on the same night and at the same time? That’s just overload!)

But how I could I miss Dicky V. call an NBA game for the first time since 1984? Even with his voice all raspy, it was still fantastic!

The Commercial for it:

My Highlights:

• About 4 minutes remaining in the first half Miami’s Dwayne Wade’s driving slam dunk: “Up, up and away! Elevator man!”
• A few minutes later on another driving slam dunk from Wade:  “The Dynamic Dazzler, D. Wade. Super Duper Superstar! High Riser! Rim Rocker!”
• Half-way through the third quarter he mentioned Sarasota, Florida. Yeah, Baby!
• “PTPer!”

And finally… with only 2 minutes left in the game, I finally heard it. What I had been waiting the whole game for. After Denver’s steal and J.R. Smith’s dunk:

“Dipsy-doo Dunk-a-roo! NBA Style! Slam Jam Bam!”

Denver went on to win 108-97.

But, actually my favorite moment of the announcer-switcheroo came during the final moments of the Duke/Davidson game.

I had just turned on the television and was settling into my chair so I missed the back-story but I think they were referring to the sweet 3-pointer by Duke’s Jon Scheyer with :54 seconds remaining in the game. And then, Jeff van Gundy and Mark Jackson mentioned B.J. Armstrong from the Chicago Bulls!

Anyone who knows me knows I adored B.J. Armstrong. Loved him. He had the prettiest 3-point shot I had ever seen! Maybe those announcers aren’t so boring afterall

I love you...

Oh and Duke won 79-67!
