I figured since most of you wouldn’t be staying up until almost midnight, checking out Dickie V’s trip to the NBA, that I would pull some of the more entertaining clips for you. Here is your Heat-Nugs/Dickie V game in just 5 minutes and 30 seconds!

While I thought the swap was cheesy on the surface, both teams did a pretty solid job. The simple fact that the crews had to prepare more than they normally would showed, and Dick Vitale actually had something to talk about other than Duke and UNC (I kid….well, not really). I still don’t see what the point of a College announcer heading to the Pros would be, but the NBA guys could gain some knowledge by doing both contests. Just look at the job Dan Shulman is doing calling both. Plus, neither Mark Jackson or Jeff Van Gundy had ever been to Cameron Indoor! How is that even possible, as much as they’ve been around the Sport?

All in all, it was a fun thing to do for a night, but I wouldn’t make a habit of it. For Dickie V to call an a game in the league he first broke into broadcasting, before he retires, isn’t a bad thing at all. And that retirement could be coming sooner than we all think.
