There is nothing more cringeworthy (besides the word “cringeworthy” itself) than NBA commentators celebrating made baskets by international players with foreign-language commentary/exaggerated accents. Nothing. It’s horrible. Every single time. The Nuggets dudes are the worst about this, but other commentators do it to. Please stop. I’m begging you.
“Sí sí sí sí señor!” wails the sub-literate moron behind the microphone after Alex Abrines hits another shot. I mean, I was also excited to see Abrines set a new career-high and hit a bunch of threes. Who wouldn’t be? But I wasn’t excited enough to start embarrassing myself by yelling in Spanish. I don’t even know any Spanish even though I bet it would impress that hot latina chick who lives in the apartment above mine. But if I did, I wouldn’t be compelled to yell it just to celebrate Abrines slamming another triple in Magic Johnson’s fat face.
