    ima_drummer2k helped me remember my favorite Gene Peterson moment came in a Spurs game.

    This is my paraphrase of the call.

    Gene: Olajuwon goes to the bucket, and it counts! Robinson called for his 3rd foul, he's committed 7...

    I was cracking up. It was so awesome.

    Haha, that's Geno in a nutshell.

    This is my absolute favorite Geno/Jim moment and it's not even close.

    THEY DIDN'T EVEN START THE CLOCK!!!!!!!!!

    Edit: Found it on YouTube!

    I love it at 2:08 when you can hear Jim in the background yelling at the timekeeper. So awesome.

    Great to hear those two again. I'm 24 for the longest time I didnt have cable so my dad would put the games on 790 and we would listen to them... they're the best.

    Both were individually interviewed at different times and talked about the glory days.

    Ackerman acknowledged GP as his mentor- and Geno in kind, confirmed what a great job CA was doing in the challenging role of filling some legendary shoes.
