Worse Basketball Cliche's?

Good point. Still, I HATE hearing somebody who didn't go number one over-all described as a number one pick. Quite simply, it's incorrect.

 

I can't believe no one has mentioned how players -- and teams -- "take it to the next level." Do they ever level off? ... or level out? ... or.....

 

A few years ago,
"Both teams played hard." R. Wallace

 

I totally agree with this. Crappy players that play with great players can look good every once in a while, but in the end, they're still crap.

I want to hear announcers say that, "wow, he's making his teammates look good today!"

 

Any quote with the word rhythm in it. Michael Jordan was the kindg of this.

"I couldn't find my rhythm"
"I had a good rhythm tonight"
"Once we found our rhythm we were able to turn the game around"

etc...
