Dribble drive, baseline jumper..got it!

The NBA All-Star game is in Dallas and fans are going nuts. Our very own Jim Grimes gave us a sneak peak of "Fan Jam" which is a place where fans get in on the fun and maybe even rub shoulders with their favorite players. I got hooked on the NBA as a kid growing up in northern California. I remember the great Bill King doing play-by-play for the Golden State Warriors. I have no idea why, but when I saw Jim's live shot at "Fan Jam" I had a flashback of King doing his signature call.

"Jim Grimes, dribble drive baseline, fall-away jumper from twenty-five feet. Got it! Nothing but nylon. Grimes on fire."

Leave the Grimes part out and that was pretty much it. Here's the problem with being a lifelong Warriors fan: King would usually follow up the play by adding "Warriors now down by just 25."

It's the NBA, and for the most part, I still love it and my helpless, hapless Warriors.
