Those Big Numbers Can Get Confusing
Heard this back-and-forth between play-by-play guy Chris Carrino and analyst Tim Capstraw during tonight's Nets game on WFAN:
CC: Clifford Robinson has now passed Hal Greer to move into 20th place all-time in minutes played in NBA history. [Long pause] To put that in perspective, only 19 players in NBA history have ever played more minutes than Cliff Robinson.
TC: Thanks for explaining that again Chris; if you had just said 20th place all-time, I wouldn't have been able to figure out how many people were ahead of him.
CC: Well, sometimes things sound differently when worded differently.
Too bad Capstraw said it playfully and not sarcastically. I would've loved to have heard Carrino's reaction to that.
