Things Grant Napear Actually Said

but I did know they don’t just ‘get xtra balls’. thanks I guess

I love it, TZ. It is terrfying that he is allowed to speak anywhere near a microphone at any time.

You do realize this is Peaches you’re talking about? Lol I should call him up on his show today and see what he thinks.

I shudder to think that people who don’t know the rules of NBA basketball are trying to learn them by watching the Kings play.

I’m going to take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to defend Peaches. I think it’s likely that he was implying that the Pacers’ quick pace flustered the Kings and led to increased offensive efficiency (ie. fewer turnovers, more uncontested shots instead of FTA, and more offensive rebounds) and more FGA. Less likely that he thinks that each team gets the ball for an equal amount of time, and that the amount of FGA’s a team can put up is determined by how fast they can take a shot in any given possession.

is a tool!

Haha, I was thinking all the same things when he said that stuff about more possesssions due to a faster pace, and about being a multi-position player because of the economy. Glad to know I wasn’t the only one scratching my head. : )

I heard that as well last night, and busted out a Scooby Doo “HUH??”

But I didn’t know that he was that fast.

Would be a great name for a book. I think it should be a coffee table book, so I can place it next to my copy of “Everybody Poops”.

When you listen to KHTK, they’re so dumb. Napear couldn’t handle a smart audience.

(I only make an example of this because basketball miseducation worries me. Napear has a huge audience 82 times a year.)

This is why I thought Kings fans were so dumb. I just realized it was KHTK after spending time here.

He actually said that? Scary.

Not only did I hear him say that, but he didn’t learn from his mistake. Just before halftime, with about thirty five seconds to go he said the Pacer’s might have a three for one opportunity because of their pace. Peaches strikes again.

Another night earlier this season both Renolds and Peaches agreed that the sun rises in the west!

If the Kings play at the speed of light, does that mean they get infinite possessions? Only Peaches knows…

If you have ever listened to any other broadcasts, say Houston for example, be thankful you get Grant.

when calling a fast break and he just says the name of the ball carrier over and over. Its the sign for me to durn down the volume or listen to the Yugoslavian broadcast!

…sounds like something off of the old $25,000 Pyramid:

“Bobby Jackson IS ON FIRE!”
“If you don’t like THAT, you don’t like NBA basketball!!!”
“It’s 4:30 – let’s get to the update and Jason Ross…”
“The Kings (unfortunately) lose again tonight. The final score from Arco Arena…”

Ummmm…Things Grant Napear Actually Said! :)

I also agree that for as much as we lambaste Napear for the things that roll off his tongue (I’m old school – give Gary Gerould me the dearly departed Bill King ANY day for a radio broadcast), I’ve heard and seen broadcasts for other NBA teams. MAN…talk about not looking a gift horse in the mouth. Grant and Jerry are better than most. We are lucky even though it doesn’t seem like it a lot of the time.
