Aw man, we totally need a thread just for trash talk phrases that Sam can use while announcing. I’m assuming you’re going to be on the court trailing the action like in the And-1 mix tour? Anyways, I’ll start things off:

- Yo first years, tell me how my a— taste!

- The secret service couldn’t guard me!

- Anything from NBA Jam (Boom shakalaka, He’s on fire, etc.)

- Go back to Fuquay, you got no business on this court!

- I’m gonna block you like the FCC

- You just got shut down like the federal government

This is exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for.

I'll be commenting in support of the first-years, and we have a second-year who will also be on the mic. Our job is primarily to trash the other team's players.
