Kevin Harlan, renowned as one of the top sports commentators, truly surpassed himself with a memorable call during the broadcast of the New Orleans Pelicans’ 135-123 victory over the Sacramento Kings on TNT.
As the game neared its conclusion, with less than a minute left on the clock, an unexpected incident occurred: a chicken wing was thrown onto the court by one of the 17,832 fans at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. This unusual event prompted Harlan to showcase his unmatched improvisational skills.
Here’s how Harlan captured the quirky moment:
“Somebody’s thrown something onto the floor, 46 seconds to go and a whistle blew. It’s a chicken wing! Why would someone throw something that good out on the floor? It’s crispy, it’s warm, and I almost had to go out and get it, I’m so hungry!” Harlan said, his voice filled with a mix of amusement and incredulity, as an official hurried onto the court to pick up the wing.

Harlan concluded his exceptional commentary by humorously expressing his hope that the official might enjoy the wing.
Known for his dynamic and engaging commentary style, from enlivening routine ad reads to narrating the antics of a streaker during the Super Bowl, Harlan’s ability to ad-lib is unparalleled in sports broadcasting.
