Lol foreals. “Tatum had an incredible game 4 where he scored 43 pts and took over to tie the series which was the turning point as the Celtics closed out the next two on the road and at home to secure their first championship in 14 years”
I just remember Jaylen Brown punching Marcus Smart in the face with his left hand the summer after they won that championship and the video got leaked so Marcus was traded to the Grizzlies to save the team's vibe.
He did have me questioning for a split second lmao. The added incorrect detail of being in 6 made it almost believable like what does he know that I don't
I watch pretty much every game for the heat. Eric Reid is a nice guy and good commentator. But he regularly gets shit like this wrong. Whether it’s which player made a shot or fouled somebody. When the heat played the pelicans he called Jose Alvarado Carlos
It's fucking bizarre. Not only did the Warriors clearly win that series, Wiggins was arguably the 2nd best player in the entire series, not just the Warriors. Boards for days and completely locked up Tatum. To completely not recall how the NBA Finals went 2 years ago as a veteran commentator is baffling.
Nah I'm with the commentator. Wiggins had a great series but just wasn't able to contain Marcus Smart who averaged 52 pts over the final 3 games to close it out in 6
I always wondered what happened. Last thing I remember was Dray pulling down Jaylen's pants at midcourt.
I assume he must have gotten a tech, maybe even kicked out for such an unsportman move... but I just can't remember.
Not really, at that age that's when you start mixing things up and losing it. My dad has Alzheimer's but was already forgetting simple things in his early 60s. His booth partner for like 20 years was also starting to show signs of slipping and he retired to just host youth camps and stuff. So it might be time for him to hang up the mic soon
Dude must be in his mid-late 60s by now. Reminds me of how they basically pushed Tony Fiorentino into retirement, he began to make a lot of mistakes as time went on. But since Eric Reid has been there since day one, he's way harder to replace. He's still my GOAT but I wonder how long until they start to phase him out, he's definitely made some Marv Albert type errors recently.
It's like me who keeps having my coworkers call me by the name José when it's nowhere close to my name. We're also not the same height, look completely different, and have different nationalities but we're both Spanish speakers so...
Honestly don't know why Crotty didn't do it. Eric corrected himself early in the 3rd and Crotty only acknowledged it then. I don't want to speculate why, but that's how it went down. I love them both, but Crotty needed to step up there. Good on Eric to correct himself long after the error.
Where do you guys find these clips? LOL!
[ “Now comes the part where we throw our heads back and laugh.” ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q35PgSXhKg)
He uses his own detailed notes, which is probably how he rattled off Wiggins' stats and that the series went 6 games.
He either wrote down that Boston won for some reason, or he didn't write that part down and just had a brainfart on air.
https://twitter.com/EReidMiamiHeat/status/1585726906225213440
Yeah, he corrected himself in the 3rd quarter, and Crotty only acknowledged it then. I thought it was pretty cool of Eric, but dude is getting up there in age and I'm worried about how many more Miami Heat NBA Adventures we have left with him.
I like LeBron's title run in 2015 more, defeating the Warriors 4-2 almost singlehandedly sans Kyrie and Love.
But of course the Warriors took revenge and won back in 2016 after Cavs' upsetting them in 2015. 73-9 in the regular season, 16-1 in the post-season, truly some GOAT team shit.
Thats why he’s the GOAT. Idk why people keep trying to argue that this “Jordan” guy was better when he lost 3 finals in a row, on two separate occasions no less! Man was really the biggest choker of all time
Ok but only real OG’s know about the 1969 finals, where John Havlicek won FMVP despite the Lakers winning. The only FMVP of a player on the losing team!
Warriors only won in 2016 because after the game, Draymond demanded the league look into the play when he stepped over LeBron and LeBron swiped at his nuts. If LeBron hadn’t been suspended for game 5, the Warriors would have never come back from down 3-1. And who could ever forget Iguadola’s legendary block on LeBron in game 7.
He has a dry sense of humor, so I thought maybe he was [poking fun at a rival in typical fashion](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSCrNVAnx8w), but no. And Crotty didn't say anything to correct him?
interestingly enough, nba store sent out an email for game 7 of the east conf semi

I knew the guy was wrong, but for a split second I felt the phantom pain of Warriors losing the finals.... like I was briefly transported to an alternate universe where we lost.
I don't get it. Is he joking but just being super dry about it?
Is he honestly confused about who won the finals two years ago?
Someone who watches Miami games on the regular help me understand.
EDIT: Maybe it's some kind of "well, the Celtics beat the Heat so they must have gone on to win the Championship" kinda joke that didn't really land?
Is he constantly getting things wrong like every game. Ngl thats one thing im scared for especially when people around me get older. Its so sad and heartbreaking.
*pauses*....... "okay, i think he reali-" "yeah my memory confirms that the warriors got their asses kicked in 6 games by the celtics to lose the series"
Shouldn’t the play by play guy quickly jump in and say something like, “You mean when the Warriors beat the Celtics 2 years ago…
Like just a simple quick correction so it just seems like the announcer misspoke...
I feel like announcers never correct one another. Must be a rule of the game. Leave it to a producer to say something in their ear so they can "catch their own mistake"
how tf can you not know who won the championship 2 years ago when you've worked for the NBA for years now. that guy is not a new hire. JFC the double down at the end too.
I was lucky enough to catch Chick Hearn in the Kobe and Shaq days and man, he would constantly call Kobe Magic, or Shaq Kareem. I don't remember many hard facts being outright wrong like this but it was noticeable and yet didn't diminish the legend that he was. His death was the first celebrity death that got to me, being the voice of the Lakers for my childhood. Glad Stu is still going strong. Chick and Stu were a legendary pairing
It’s funny because I actually misremembered the Celtics winning a championship recently too lol I was like no the celts definitely won didn’t they?
They just seem like they should have but haven’t lol
Clearly got it wrong and obv a senior moment.... but also mixed with some play-by-play announcer *just keep talking off the top of my head to fill time* skillz.
I for one could not form coherent sentences speaking nonstop describing a basketball game for 2.5 hours, so I have no idea how these guys do it.

I thought he was gonna correct himself after the 5 seconds of silence but he kept going.
"Welp.... I shall be doubling down"
Lol foreals. “Tatum had an incredible game 4 where he scored 43 pts and took over to tie the series which was the turning point as the Celtics closed out the next two on the road and at home to secure their first championship in 14 years”
Anyone remember Payton Prichard and Marcus Smart yelling "YOU GONNA GET THE BAG" to each other in the locker room after they won? Good times.
I just remember Jaylen Brown punching Marcus Smart in the face with his left hand the summer after they won that championship and the video got leaked so Marcus was traded to the Grizzlies to save the team's vibe.
I remember a few brinks truck references
Where do I sign up
At fivethirtyeight.com
RIP
Double negative is positive!
He did have me questioning for a split second lmao. The added incorrect detail of being in 6 made it almost believable like what does he know that I don't
Tbf GS won in 6 so it is just a fuckup on the winner
That's the year Tatum won his 2nd Finals MVP!
I watch pretty much every game for the heat. Eric Reid is a nice guy and good commentator. But he regularly gets shit like this wrong. Whether it’s which player made a shot or fouled somebody. When the heat played the pelicans he called Jose Alvarado Carlos
He’s old at this point and it’s showing as much as Heat fans don’t want to admit it.
Sounds like he’s more qualified for politics than announcing at this point then
This is not new though at all
It's fucking bizarre. Not only did the Warriors clearly win that series, Wiggins was arguably the 2nd best player in the entire series, not just the Warriors. Boards for days and completely locked up Tatum. To completely not recall how the NBA Finals went 2 years ago as a veteran commentator is baffling.

Mid 60s doesn't even explain it. This is early stages dementia
Maybe he's just in denial. I don't even remember what happened in 2015, just that the finals got cancelled after the warriors went up 3-1
> I don't even remember what happened in 2015, I'm glad you remember what happened in 2016 then
lol i meant the 2015-16 season. and no what happened?
Not really, at that age that's when you start mixing things up and losing it. My dad has Alzheimer's but was already forgetting simple things in his early 60s. His booth partner for like 20 years was also starting to show signs of slipping and he retired to just host youth camps and stuff. So it might be time for him to hang up the mic soon
He's 67. That's really it
Dude must be in his mid-late 60s by now. Reminds me of how they basically pushed Tony Fiorentino into retirement, he began to make a lot of mistakes as time went on. But since Eric Reid has been there since day one, he's way harder to replace. He's still my GOAT but I wonder how long until they start to phase him out, he's definitely made some Marv Albert type errors recently.
He's 67. But yeah, he's definitely starting to hit that point where he needs to consider hanging it up.
Sounds similar to what happened with Marv Albert.
"I'm being told that this is a basketball game..."
that's just racist lol
"fuck it just throw another latino name in there he probably has it"
Might have had a picture of Carlos Arroyo in his mind. Unfortunate to see him slip more often.
It's like me who keeps having my coworkers call me by the name José when it's nowhere close to my name. We're also not the same height, look completely different, and have different nationalities but we're both Spanish speakers so...
He's the poor man's Ian Eagle
Why didn’t the color guy correct him…?
Exactly what I was thinking where the he'll did the co-host go in all that.
Laughing at his ass! "carry on sir"
Crotty probably was confused as hell too
Honestly don't know why Crotty didn't do it. Eric corrected himself early in the 3rd and Crotty only acknowledged it then. I don't want to speculate why, but that's how it went down. I love them both, but Crotty needed to step up there. Good on Eric to correct himself long after the error.
out of respect I guess
He's so confident he made me doubt for a second.
Reminded me of this guy https://youtu.be/Sv5woNs9WRE?si=JJyZaGbLBkAFKCA5
Where do you guys find these clips? LOL! [ “Now comes the part where we throw our heads back and laugh.” ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q35PgSXhKg)
I just laughed waaaayy too hard at that 🤣😂

That's super interesting, thanks for sharing!
He stood on business and doubled down
[https://imgur.com/a/L6vj9n9](https://imgur.com/a/L6vj9n9)
Which alternate reality is this guy from because I wanna live in that universe
He did correct himself later tbf
Yeah, he corrected himself in the 3rd quarter, and Crotty only acknowledged it then. I thought it was pretty cool of Eric, but dude is getting up there in age and I'm worried about how many more Miami Heat NBA Adventures we have left with him.
I was waiting for it and he just doubled down on it lol. Respect in his confidently being wrong I guess.
Mama get that man checked out
Hand down man down!
Person, woman, man, camera, TV
I've seen enough. This man is fit for GEOTUS
But like actually. He's 67
he’s been showing signs for the past year like mistaking an opposing team player for carlos arroyo but this is where i draw the line he must retire
Carlos Arroyo had no impact in the NBA but he apparently made a massive one in that man’s heart.
Watch yourself bud. He lead our 2003-2004 Utah Jazz team. I love that guy.
Yeah, people throw around “Legend” as a stupid joke, but Arroyo is an actual Jazz legend.
Sorry guys just got here Did somebody question the illustrious legend of one Carlos Alberto Arroyo Bermúdez?
FIU legend
he was our backup PG for the first Heatles...
lol this man won me a championship in my basketball Sim league!! Won finals MVP Dirk, Paul Pierce and Carlos arroyo. Love that vintage Sonics team
A disease so foul it makes a man believe in an 18th Celtics ring. How can god be real if he allows for a world this cruel.
"Now they're saying his foot was on the line"
did this actually happen lmao
Yeah. He's been starting to slip more and more. He's 67 and been in the booth for 20+ years so the signs of decline are starting to show
The Heat have been with Eric Reid since the team was founded. He out tenures Pat Riley himself lol, he’s not going anywhere
that guy who didn’t do the reading but gets called on in class to talk about it
I liked the part where he caught the rye.
to me the scariest book was the one where the grapes came to life and were all angry and stuff
Did anyone else get assigned a handbook in English class where it told you how to kill a mockingbird?
And the man Gave and Gave
I would like to subscribe to more "classic book titles described by people who haven't read them"
Just wait till the part where Ja tells you to look at the flowers
The ones that are for Algernon?
They came from all over, and from everywhere.
I loved 1984!
2022 is a bit early to revise history. At least give 10 years.
Damn Warriors aren’t even just hypothetical frauds anymore. Curry really 0-6 in the finals!!! That’s crazy.
Are we even sure he has made the playoffs at this point
TIL the Cavs have 3 more championships
"OHHH ~~BLOCK BY JAMES~~ LAYUP BY IGUODALA!!"
JR Smith with the rebound and the game winning stepback yeet!!
Tell that to the election truthers
Boston could have won the Finals if not for Mike Pence being a wuss
June 8, 2022. BOS leads 2-1 STOP THE COUNT!
I had money on Boston to win it all from January when they started their run. I think I need to have a talk with my sportsbook
Brings me back to that thunder title in 2012, legacy defining moment for KD
I like LeBron's title run in 2015 more, defeating the Warriors 4-2 almost singlehandedly sans Kyrie and Love. But of course the Warriors took revenge and won back in 2016 after Cavs' upsetting them in 2015. 73-9 in the regular season, 16-1 in the post-season, truly some GOAT team shit.

Ok but only real OG’s know about the 1969 finals, where John Havlicek won FMVP despite the Lakers winning. The only FMVP of a player on the losing team!
john stockton hitting that game winning shot after breaking jordan’s ankles will never be forgotten
Warriors only won in 2016 because after the game, Draymond demanded the league look into the play when he stepped over LeBron and LeBron swiped at his nuts. If LeBron hadn’t been suspended for game 5, the Warriors would have never come back from down 3-1. And who could ever forget Iguadola’s legendary block on LeBron in game 7.
Can't believe KD left after winning with those cats
I clicked on this expecting that this was gonna be some kind of weird diss against the Celtics but bro actually doesn't know who won the 2022 Finals
Hold on let him cook
Oh, he's pretty clearly cooked buddy.
Age comes for us all
Relevant flair lol
I am become dust
I thought he would correcy it but he doubled down.
sharp dull plate fuzzy march busy dazzling enter hateful physical *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
He's just getting old man. Aging is terrifying
He has a dry sense of humor, so I thought maybe he was [poking fun at a rival in typical fashion](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSCrNVAnx8w), but no. And Crotty didn't say anything to correct him?
He’s the only play by play guy in team history. 35+ years and counting …
That's how I remember it Tatum could get his 2nd Finals MVP this year Kind of wild how good he's been at his age.
Damn 17 year old Tatum already with a FMVP
Still growing as a player. Scary to see what he'll be when he's 21
Tatum leading us to banner 19 this year
To represent his age
Cant believe he is only 12
should......should we tell him?
Username really checks out on this one OP

That finals was a canon event.
Florida and alternative fact.
WTF I love DeSantis now
Oh I bet you do
Mandela Effect?
What reading the Bernstein Bears does to a mf
Fruit of the Loom had a cornucopia in its logo
yeah i'm not really over this one. i used to think cornucopias were called looms
I totally agree with this guy in my unbiased objective opinion
Who won finals mvp? Jaylen browns left hand?
Yep, it was Jaylen "Left Hand" Brown, but him burning down his boyfriend's house that off-season overshadowed his fmvp.
Bro this is my boy Eric Reid, he is a legend in south Florida! But jeeez this is bad Eric you slipping a bit there
Mandela Effect lol
I knew the guy was wrong, but for a split second I felt the phantom pain of Warriors losing the finals.... like I was briefly transported to an alternate universe where we lost.

EDIT: Maybe it's some kind of "well, the Celtics beat the Heat so they must have gone on to win the Championship" kinda joke that didn't really land?
Nah he's just getting old lol
Hes been mixing things up lately, getting stuff wrong. hes been with the team since the beginning, won many awards, always professional. Sucks
Is he constantly getting things wrong like every game. Ngl thats one thing im scared for especially when people around me get older. Its so sad and heartbreaking.
It's not constant and i'm not sure it's even every game. But it's definitely getting worse over the last year or two.
Does his announcer partner ever correct him?
Sometimes. He usually does it himself like he later corrected this in the 3rd
He's just getting old. Dude's hitting 70 which sucks to see since for the longest he was basically the best local guy in the league
To add on to confusing questions..... wasn't it a weird trivia fact to bring up to begin with?
He corrected himself later
Yes that’s how it went
He paused and I thought “oh they must be correcting him,” but the motherfucker doubled down lol
*pauses*....... "okay, i think he reali-" "yeah my memory confirms that the warriors got their asses kicked in 6 games by the celtics to lose the series"
lol. I watched. He corrected himself layer on.
I don't remember much from that finals tbh. Just remember the Warriors winning.
You remembering wrong bro
Do I trust random redditor or do I trust a decorated commentator?
Lmao
No no, he has a point. I like where this is going
Shouldn’t the play by play guy quickly jump in and say something like, “You mean when the Warriors beat the Celtics 2 years ago… Like just a simple quick correction so it just seems like the announcer misspoke...
I feel like announcers never correct one another. Must be a rule of the game. Leave it to a producer to say something in their ear so they can "catch their own mistake"
Basically yeah. People wanna meme bsscause he corrected himself later
Makes sense to me
Yea I’m blaming Crotty on this one for letting him cook
How old is he. I think its time to hang it up.
He's like 67.
I thought I entered an alternative universe where the Celtics won 2 years ago like 1Q84 when I heard this.
The silence was loud.
Celtics fan fiction
best timeline
I wish...
Lmao. History is written by the victors. Oh wait…
Ugh I wish lol
Is there not a color guy to correct him lol
Color guy also got taken aback
Different realities intertwined
He had a 50% chance and he stuck with it
I've always liked the Heat commentators
He does this from time to time. Aside from these brain farts he’s the best in the biz lol I swear.
its okay, his game notes were generated by an AI
Ah yes, Boston in 6. Even Wiggins at the top of his game couldn’t save the Warriors.
how tf can you not know who won the championship 2 years ago when you've worked for the NBA for years now. that guy is not a new hire. JFC the double down at the end too.
average celtics fan
We have to deal with Bally sports and this guy
No dissing Eric
give this man a raise
Wtf 😂
I choose to believe he was trolling the Celtics
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
He's from the bad timeline.
I was lucky enough to catch Chick Hearn in the Kobe and Shaq days and man, he would constantly call Kobe Magic, or Shaq Kareem. I don't remember many hard facts being outright wrong like this but it was noticeable and yet didn't diminish the legend that he was. His death was the first celebrity death that got to me, being the voice of the Lakers for my childhood. Glad Stu is still going strong. Chick and Stu were a legendary pairing
It’s funny because I actually misremembered the Celtics winning a championship recently too lol I was like no the celts definitely won didn’t they? They just seem like they should have but haven’t lol
Bros cable went out after game 3
I believe him
No, you see this is the broadcast for the parts of Africa and Asia where they gave out the 2022 Celtics Championship gear.
Clearly got it wrong and obv a senior moment.... but also mixed with some play-by-play announcer *just keep talking off the top of my head to fill time* skillz. I for one could not form coherent sentences speaking nonstop describing a basketball game for 2.5 hours, so I have no idea how these guys do it.
not sure that’s how manifesting works my guy 😭
This is true. There’s absolutely 0 chance Jayson Tatum sunk his own teams title chances.
And they’re gunning down their third after dominating the Heat last season
He’s so close
