Marv Albert: “Wow Steve, this really is a close game. The Nets are down by one with two minutes. And the crowd here in the Continental Airlines Arena is sure getting excited!”
Steve Kerr: “You’re absolutely right Marv, this game surely is going to come down to the wire. And... yeah you are absolutely right about the crowd… it looks as if many of the fans here have decided to partake in some sort of rolling-up-your-sleeves superstition ritual to root the team on.”
Marv Albert: “Actually Steve, it appears that there is nothing rolled up at all. Most of these fans shirts simply do not have sleeves at all. I don’t think it is so much a superstition thing, because they all showed up here to the arena dressed like that.”
Steve Kerr: (Looking over some papers) “And it also appears that we were wrong before when we assumed that the Arena was giving away bandanas and gold chains as a promotional event.”
Marv Albert: “Well in any event losing with only two minutes has certainly made the crowd nervous. Maybe they are all sweating or something because the air has become thick with smell of Axe Body Spray.”
Steve Kerr: (Covering up his nose with his hands) “You’re correct Marv, it is actually getting to be quite unbearable in here. I really wish that this timeout would end and they could hurry the game up, because the stench of Axe has gotten so bad that it is hard to breathe.”
Marv Albert: “Unbelievable! No sooner did the timeout end, did the Nets call another one!”
Steve Kerr: (Trying to talk loud over the stadium speakers blaring
Zombie Nation) “This is awful Marv! I guess the female Nets fans hate losing more than the males, because… uh… you should hear some of the horrendous language that they are shouting down to the court. I… I have never heard anything like this in my entire career. You would think that being from New Jersey, these fans should be used to losing by now? Right?”
Marv Albert: “Actually Steve, I am sorry to say, that I don’t think it matters if they are losing or not. That is just the way these Jersey girls are. That is just they way they are. (sigh) OK, let’s go to commercial and we will be back with the end of the game!”
Steve Kerr: (Barely audible as the TV switches to commercial... mumbling something about
Zack Braff being a liar)
