Sometimes you just have to give these guys a pass. Their job is to sit there and form original thoughts for hours on end, and from time to time they are going to trip right over a sexual pun. It's happened to the best of us, and we generally aren't expected to put together up-to-the-second updates while a microphone and dead air are staring us in the face. That's why I can overlook instances when I hear "lay the wood" or "stuck him from behind". Mostly because it's my juvenile sense of humor that makes them funny, and not the way the announcer is saying them.
Not this time. That was so blatant I have to question whether it was intentional. "I'm comin' IN...YOUR...FACE" isn't even a pun. That phrase doesn't belong anywhere near a basketball court. If you cut that saying from the broadcast and pasted it into a porno it would fit seamlessly. I mean, all of it. The build-up, the enthusiasm, the sincerity, the speed, the volume, the tone, the delivery. It was all too perfect not to be on purpose. If that line was written into the script of a basketball parody it wouldn't even get laughs because it wasn't even subtle enough to be considered innuendo. Now don't get me wrong, I still laughed out loud, but don't you dare tell me that wasn't Greg "Special K" Kelser motive. This guy is an former NBA player with a motivational speaking background. He's far too experienced to drop something that off-color with that much authority by accident. h/t BustedCoverage
