Awesome possum. Definitely got to have the game on FSN now to see this.
Amazing looking through the crowd at the ceremony and seeing all the past greats to play and manage the game. Chick was truly the greatest announcer of all time and still commands the respect of the immortals of the game.
God bless you Chick Hearn!

chick was awesome
this is my favorite:
Nice. He was great.
Chick was bad ass.
Fitting tribute to the best voice of basketball that ever was and ever will be.
Miss ya Chick.
Awesome. Chick Hearn is in a class of his own when it comes to sportscasting. He's easily the best I have ever heard at painting a picture in one's head of exactly what is happening on the floor, and on top of that, he always had interesting side comments like a color man. He was also a really nice guy in person (I got to meet him a couple of times as a kid and I got him to sign my NBA Register). Even though I don't like the Lakers, I really enjoyed listening to his last few years calling the games, having lived in LA for them. Calling him the best of the best is still an understatement.
Great commentator. Poor man's Johnny Most.
Goat
Get that out of here... Most, although an icon, was at best a rookie when compared to Chick. Chick is the GOAT of basketball announcers and stands side by side with Vinny as best in sports. It's not even debatable.
We would routinely turn down the TV on nationaly televised games and turn on the radio to hear Chick. As much a homer as he was he never failed to call it like it was, give credit to the oppositon, and even give to the lakers.
I bet chick never had to pay for a damn thing in LA. He was like the city's granpa.
Wrong Bean town boy.
If Most and Hearn were T.V.'s Most was a RCA black and white t.v. and Hearn a HDTV 1080p. Most couldn't hold a candle to Chicky.
I know you hate the Lakers but this post ...shows how classy you really a
Chick was local treasure.
And he and Vin Scully blessed LA with the two best sportscasters at painting a picture.
Chick's "word's eye view" was impeccable, insightful, and the best way to enjoy the NBA.
The fact many LAker fans turned down the national broadcast to Listento Chick on teh national games proved his greatness.
