NBA fans were so amused by Kevin Harlan’s hilarious ‘boink’ call of Dillon Brooks’ groin punch
"HOLD ON, HOLD ON"
Announcer Kevin Harlan has put together quite a career with some incredible sports calls. Known for elevating moments with his levity and wit — while also making some hilarious calls of fans that run on the field — Harlan’s the guy you want in the chair for any major sports moment.
On Thursday, Donovan Mitchell and Dillon Brooks got in quite the scuffle during the Memphis Grizzlies and Cleveland Cavaliers game. In the third quarter after falling down on a play, Brooks rolled over and punched Mitchell — who was standing nearby — in the groin.
Chaos then broke out on the court, as both teams congregated with some pushing and shoving extracurriculars after Mitchell hurled the ball at Brooks in retaliation. And narrating it all was Harlan, who gave us some incredible moments, from his “HOLD ON, HOLD ON” call as the shoving began to saying “boink” on a replay of Brooks’ groin shot.
