Most of the MBB announcers are incapable of stringing together a sentence that would make anyone believe that they didn't sleep thru all of their english classes. They have even started using that dreaded FB phrase "second effort" in describing the action.

"Scoring the basketball" is one I hate, but the worst is misusing "literally." "He literally consumed the guard when he got in the paint." ... Wow, on-court cannabalism, that's gotta be a record.
