I don't know if they still do it, since I haven't watched a National Basketball Entertainment game in a while, but here's how they used to do it: when reporting a single digit number with both hands (such as "8"), instead of their fingers pointing up, they would point each hand in toward the other so their palms would be facing their chest and their hands would be at a 90 degree angle to the floor.
I hope you were able to follow that.
