**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
This is when commentators embarrassed NBA players.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:03)
James Harden definitely had a free game meal.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:05)
Clay, feet set.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:07)
Oh my goodness.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:08)
What's this all about? At first, Trace Jackson Davis made the announcers disrespect Victor Webinyama's country.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:14)
Trace Jackson Davis.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:15)
Oh!

**SPEAKER_5** (0:16)
He put the entire country of fans in the basket.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:21)
But Jordan Poole was catching more shots because he was reminded of the worst day of his life.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:28)
Let's just say that's not the worst shot Jordan Poole has taken to the face.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:32)
Yeah, nothing is off limits on the mic. I mean, Kyle Kuzma's hair was so bad, the commentators had no choice but to roast him.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:39)
Did he lose a bet?

**SPEAKER_1** (0:41)
Now look, commentators have seen nastier sights because campaign's jump shot was the worst day it ever laid eyes on.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:48)
That's the ugliest shot in the history of ugly shots.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:51)
And the announcers couldn't believe André Drummond actually gets paid.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:54)
André Drummond is back in your picture. He's going to try to take on NBA.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:58)
Wow.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:59)
Did he actually expect that to go in?

**SPEAKER_6** (1:00)
Man, that's a professional basketball player right there.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:04)
That was terrible.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:05)
But Kevin Porter Jr. didn't get a single ounce of criticism because he was down 50 and still wanted his shot.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:10)
13 minutes in that game.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:12)
I'm going to waste a lot of time on this end.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:14)
What?

**SPEAKER_5** (1:15)
What are you flexing at, dude?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:17)
You're down a thousand points.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:18)
But this next broadcaster caught a superstar lacking. Look, the Hawks host let the world know that Jason Tatum was a baby.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:25)
Jason Tatum does a lot of complaining. Who does he think he is? Kaitlyn Clark? Kaitlyn Clark was complaining so much as her dad got on her.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:33)
Now, the players had to get called out for this next one because the Nuggets and Jazz were playing like it was JV tryouts.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:39)
Mitchell just threw it away.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:41)
Porter Jr. missed the alley-oop, and it's looking like LA fitness at 3 o'clock right now.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:48)
But I can never do what James Harden accomplished. I mean, he got exposed for breaking a new type of record.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:53)
He is one turnover away from his tenth turnover, which would give him a dubious... But there it is!

**SPEAKER_4** (2:00)
Oh my goodness! Ten turnovers for James Harden! A quadruple double!

**SPEAKER_3** (2:05)
That's history, folks.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:06)
Now, nobody catches more heat than the king. See, LeBron's flopping had the Grizzlies broadcast disgusting.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:12)
LeBron James goes down.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:13)
Are you serious? Oh my goodness.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:16)
Are you kidding me, man?

**SPEAKER_2** (2:17)
That is awful, horrible.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:19)
Whatever other words you come up with that are synonyms with those is what that was.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:23)
They were hating on Brian, but everyone dislikes a spoiled kid. Look, Austin Rivers got put on blast for having daddy's money.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:29)
He had a big contract extension when, oh wait, his dad was the coach. It seemed to work out all right.
You say there was some nepotism. I'm just saying, if you're going to give the money, I'm going to give it to your kid.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:41)
And that wasn't the only time commentators got disrespectful. See, they were so fed up with Fred Campazzo, they started mocking him.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:47)
What's the main sport in Argentina?

**SPEAKER_1** (2:49)
Soccer.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:50)
That's what I was thinking. He looked like a soccer player there.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:52)
How could you call these?

**SPEAKER_2** (2:55)
I was wronged.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:57)
But the NASA's Antetokounmpo gets the worst type of embarrassment because when his number is called, everyone knows the game must be over.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:04)
I think that we've seen the white flag being waved.
Why do you say that, Jim? Because the NASA is getting ready to come into the game.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:12)
The dude's reputation is in shambles. But we got to talk about the man known for dodging defense. See, announcers don't even think James Harden exists.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:19)
Hey, head of night, come on. Works on Harden.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:21)
And if you're working on Harden, you basically went on nobody because he doesn't guard his shadow.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:25)
Announcers get dirty. So they couldn't prepare for what they've seen from Russell Westbrook because the way he was dressed, Barclay thought it was a stick up.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:32)
Russell Westbrook, great basketball player by night, bank robber by day.
