Sometime in the very near future, basketball analysts and color commentators will slip into catch phrases and buzz words. We won't even heard verbs. Here is a completely unrealistic (because they are never a duo) example that features two of my favorite hoops broadcasters.
Verne Lundquist: You really like this kid, Jay, tell us why.
Jay Bilas: Major upside potential. Great ticker. Strong engine. Long length. High Basketball IQ.
It gets old after five months of hoops. Or, in my case, 16 years of hoops. We can thank all of the recruiting and scouting Web sites and the guys who spend way too much time on the NBA Draft. It's almost like everyone speaks in shorthand now. Great.
