ICYMI: Wizards Play By Play Guy Calls Game Winner That Never Happened

((ht: awfulannouncing.com))

Yes, for a guy calling a professional or for that matter any sports game on TV, there's nothing more exciting to call a "Game Winner".

And that's what makes this call so funny.

Steve Buchantz, who calls Washington Wizards games for Comcast Sports was so ready to call a game winning 3-pointer that he actually called it, even though the shot, by Wizards forward Trevor Ariza drew nothing but air, just tickling the bare-bottom part of the net.

What's funnier, is despite the despondent look on Ariza's face and cutaways of the victorious Detroit Pistons, Buchantz stayed with the buzzer beater call for a minute.
