OT - funniest comment?

OK - here's two involving the sons of former NBA players. I reffed them in our local kids rec league when they were young kids. First: Maurice Lucas Jr. (called "Reece") was along the FT line waiting for a kid from the other team to shoot his FTs. Apparently, Reece thought it was a 1 and 1, not 2 shots, because when the kid missed, Reece jumped really high to grab the rebound, came down swinging his elbows and screaming. He then looked around and realized there was another shot coming. His dad, "The Enforcer", was in the stands and yelled, "Reece - get your head in the game. Nice board, though."

The other was a game I was working that had Kenny Carr's son in it. Every time the other team's point guard was dribbling the ball, Kenny would yell from the bleachers, "travel, travel, that's a travel, he's traveling" or something similar. Finally, I went over to him and said, "Kenny, you played in the NBA. How would you know what a travel is?" He grinned and said, "You know, you got a point."
