New candidate for stupidest catchphrase by a basketball commentator: “G’day mate!” when Patty Mills makes a particularly impressive shot. It doesn’t help that the already goofy sounding Spurs’ commentator’s voice is rendered even more goofy with the addition of a horrible faux-stralian accent. But can you really blame him for picking the lowest hanging fruit when choosing the catchphrase? Any more obscure and people wouldn’t know what was going on. Like if he said “What a screamer! (pronounced scree-mah)”.
Anyway, like always, if you find the commentary annoying/useless you can mute it and put on your own tunes. I recommend Mozart’s Serenade No. 10. (though it is a little long for these particular highlights). Nothing complements the scoring dominance of Patty Mills better than Amadeus’ timeless and intricate weaving of strings and winds.
