I think the best (worst?) comment by a sports broadcaster was made by the late Ray Scott, who started doing Green Bay Packer games and then moved up to a regular CBS NFL announcer. (yeah, I know, it's not basketball, but so what)

Whenever someone looked like they got hurt, Scott would say, "He may or may not be injured." I bet he said it 500 times in his broadcasting career.

What the hell does that mean?

This was obviously said for the fans who were not sure why a player was not getting up off of the ground following a play
Ron - my point was that anyone "may or may not be injured" at any time - even while sleeping. Why didn't he just say, "He may be injured"?

What he said was like saying, "He may or may not be left-handed."
