- Gus Johnson's best NCAA basketball calls! Subscribe if you enjoyed! Gus Johnson called NCAA Tournament for CBS from 1996 until 2011. Some iconic games Gus has been on the call for include Gonzaga/UCLA (2006), Florida/Gonzaga (1999), and Xavier/Kansas State (2010). He also called a couple of games from Davidson's Elite 8 run where Steph Curry emerged as a star. Johnson, employed by Fox since leaving CBS in 2011, is known for his infectious energy and passion, and he has certainly given us and continues to give us passion-filled calls, whether in basketball, football, or whatever sport he calls.
This video contains mainly clips from March Madness, but there are a fair share of non-NCAA Tournament games as well. I made sure to put his best and most well-known calls while also supplying some lesser-known ones. Also, since the 2000's weren't exactly the best for video quality, some of these clips look like they were filmed with a potato. However, Gus Johnson's amazing calls can still be heard.
I do not own any of these clips. All rights and credit goes to the NCAA and the owners of the clips. - Sport
Which Gus Johnson call is your favorite?
Everything! I hope you can do his football calls (College and NFL)
I'd say the Brandon Stokley game winning touchdown in 2009!!
First one because you could see him actually making the call. Chills
No.3 the runner,loose ball, it’s good!!!, Then him just saying Shannon is really good for some reason. Then the slipper still fits comment puts the icing on the cake
Batista....AAAAHHHHHHHH
Gus Johnson is a fan that just stumbled in the announcers booth one day I'm convinced
True. Considering that the historical matchups always seem to fall on his lap. From the very beginning.
His first march madness game was #15 Princeton upsetting the defending national champions and #2 UCLA in 1996
Stolen comment
The hero we needed and deserved
Gus Johnson is a legend. "The slipper still fits" is one of greatest lines an announcer has ever uttered.
It's a shame Gus never got to call Final Four games. I can just imagine his reaction to Kris Jenkins hitting that National Championship buzzer beater in 2016.
Cbs rather have boring ass hello friends
@@jayboek2854Jim Nantz is the GOAT, what are you on
@@sillygoose635 true but they still should’ve gave Gus atleast one final four. Its blasphemous.
He would have gone berserk. Still brings tears bc of how dramatic the ending was
9:22 Gus Johnson screaming “HEART-BREAK CITY!” While Adam Morrison is tearing up is the reason why we watch sports on television. Unbelievable theater. One of the greatest calls of all time
I felt bad for him ...... that Gonzaga team was great and had a lot of March Madness heartbreak.
“And we’re going to overtime. IN LEXINGTON” followed by the most beautiful “HAHA” in all of sports
“COLLEGE BASKETBALL!”
“CBS SPORTS!!”
“THIS IS MARCH MADNESS!!!”
the way he screams on the last shot in the UCLA vs Gonzaga game is so hilarious. "BATISTA WITH THE CAAAAATCH!!"
“He’s gonna do it Himself!” - Gus Johnson is so
Awesome
Just look at Gus at the bottom of the very first clip. Bottom right in the pink dress shirt. He's a fan too. Calling it like we would.
Gus Johnson's proudest moment during his illustrious career as a commentator probably had to do with having predicted Curry's potential for greatness from the get-go.
This man could make a blowout sound like Rock vs Austin at Wrestlemania 17
You know its gonna be a great game when you hear "Hi I'm Gus Johnson"
Is it safe to say Gus Johnson is the best play by play announcer of all time
He forsure is a top 5 PXP guy in my book
I really miss his energy in March Madness
"Crawford's gotta hurry" is my favorite moment in basketball history. Just unreal. As a 13 year old kid, that one was life changing.
6:44 is amazing, the mic almost broke he was screaming so loud 😂
“He’s gonna do it himself…Thomas. Shake. Crossover. Stepbaaack!!!…AT THE BUZZER”
That shot WAS cold-blooded 😂😂😂
I mean ... what TF else could that defender do? Other than watching Isiah break his heart? 😂😂
@@dhinton1exactly. No defensive technique can stop a man who is cold blooded
"The Law of Gus" Any basketball game becomes 10x better when he calls the game.
I miss him during March Madness.
This is why Gus Johnson is the G.O.A.T. of all College Basketball games, [Including March Madness too with all the HYPED-UP]!!
Gus is by far my favorite announcer.Unbiast and passionate.HE IS THE MAN IN MY BOOK!
I’m an OSU fan for life but that IU call gives me chills every time I hear it. My God.
Take that Notre Dame!!!
Curry was so good even Lebron came to his games 4:19.
Folks we have a 🌟...prescient words. Hahaaaaa
cavs played the pistons the following night
I want Gus Johnson to call my funeral!!!
4:19 If only LeBron knew just what Steph Curry would accomplish. Man, that's crazy to look at now.
Even Gus Johnson new Curry was a Star
I never realized how close Curry was to knocking off the 1 seed
And KU went on to win the whole thing. The only two games in the tourney that year that gave KU a run. Davidson and, obviously, Memphis in the finals.
one of my fav announcers. always luved that Allan Houston game winner vs Miami in 99 Gm 5..."running jumppaaa, off the front rim, and innnn"
Love Gus Johnson!
2:41 my favorite GJ call ever.
Gus Johnson My Man!
I remember when Gus Johnson called CFL games on ESPN in the 90's.
Kevin Harlan and Gus Johnson calling a game together would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Loved to hear him in March Madness!!!!!
The slipper still fits easily the best of all time
I love gus Johnson man. The best
I will always remember him because of 8:44 and his call on Jamal Crawford's gamewinner against Denver.
I’m convince that Gus Johnson is the best announcer in the modern era of sports. This guy could make me watch cricket and still be entertained.
To this day, never made sense to me that curry brought the ball up on that last play… he should have been run off of a million screens
If Gus doesn't give you goosebumps...are you even a fan?
UNBELIEVABLE!
Gus Johnson could call one of the beginning rounds of the NIT Tournament and have you off your seat thinking it was the NCAA National Championship!
My favorite Gus Johnson calls:
1. Literally all of them
2:48-2:55 is so fun. What a wild shot and what fun reactions to that shot from everybody who watched it.
With Jim Nantz calling his last final 4 this year, hopefully CBS gets us Gus!!
Especially since the Big Ten is moving to CBS for football, hopefully they can bring over Gus and Joel Klatt since they usually do the big ten games🙏
That would be great..
The Gus Johnson and Jimmie Jackson pairing has been a pleasure.
Miss him during March
Well done sir
Thank you!
Love this. You cut out the best part of the Gonzaga vs Oklahoma St Game. After Morrison’s jumper….Gus randomly screams “Larry Bird!
Glad Morrison got a ring in the nba, guy was a top all time ncaa player
As a Seattle basketball fan I don't know which of those first two clips hurt more to watch. Seeing uw basketball then v now or the sonics logo at the key right after
Such a national treasure
Wow, best bball commentator ever. As exciting as football.
I never realized Gus called that Princeton backdoor cut game. He’s been doing this longer than I realized
I think that was his first March Madness game too
i love gus johnson
“Batista with the CAAAAAAAAAATCH!!!!!”
I’m glad half of these were recorded on a potato
Gus Johnson is a national treasure
Awesome announcer. Would make even peewee soccer exciting!!!
Gus gets excited when he gets dressed
Miss Gus Johnson in the NFL
I like how a lot of these are from Gonzaga & Ohio State.
Missed the best call from the K-State-Xavier game! Pullen straight away!
Last chance to dance is legendary
Batista with the CAAAAAAAATCH!!!
Gus would be great at baseball. Played at the University of Detroit. If the Detroit Tigers get to the MLB playoffs in the near future, don't be surprised if Fox puts him on specifically for those games. He's a diehard Tiger fan.
Xavier was in several of these. Gonzaga and UConn too.
And he’s calling raptors vs sixers tonight
unrelated to sports, but Gus Johnson looks like Giancarlo Esposito when he plays Gus Fring.
That's actually true tho
4:21 the moment Lebron realized, Stephen Curry is the real deal
Sylvester for threeEEE!!! Ohhhh!!! Ohhhh!!! With 5.1 to go! Time out Illinois! UNBELIEVABLE!! 🤯
65-64!!!!
Hope the Twolves get this man
Can we just analyze young Steph Curry not finding any place to shoot on that final possession in the Davidson/Kansas game. I mean after the one guy fell, either dish it off or try to draw a pick to get an open look instead of dribbling into a double-team and forcing a bad shot from a teammate off the pass. Who knew he makes bad decisions 😂
The K State Xavier game is still one of the best games ever
Anyone else peep, Lebron was at Curry’s game in the ncaa tournament
The UCLA vs Gonzaga game alone should put him in the Naismith Hall of Fame.
Come back 2 cbs gus
Gus Johnson might get the number 1 play by play announcer for the NFL on Fox. Joe Buck went to ESPN with Troy Aikman
You needed to include Myles Powell's go-ahead basket prior to Kentucky's game-tying shot in the Seton Hall-Kentucky clip.
Thanks for sharing, and thanks for watching the video! I did think about including the go-ahead shot, but I decided not to include it because I didnt think it was worthy enough to be put in amongst all the other clips. He displayed the same great energy he always does when he yelled "Pure!," but I didnt think it was enough to put it in the compilation though. Again, thanks for watching!
As a Seton Hall grad and fan, I'm biased, but I think having the context of back-to-back buzzer beaters would have been nice.
@@anthonycolombo7804 I understand. It’s a best calls video, and I ultimately didn’t think it fit the bill, especially in comparison to the game-tying shot.
I think Seton Hall won that game in overtime
sssssss-OHHHH
MY GOODNESS
SORENTINE
HIT THAT ONE FROM THE PARKING LOT
BAUTISTA WITH THE CAAATCH!!!!
Its a proven fact that if Gus Johnson is calling your game, something amazing is gonna happen
Man you gotta call a timeout, hate why people don’t call them when they have no momentum or anything
I swore Gus Johnson was a white guy this whole time 🤯🤯🤯
So did I 🤣🤣🤣 I thought he was goofy skinny brown haired white guy.
😂😂
fail not having the MSU vs Kansas call with Lucas.
Batista with the CAAAAAAATCH
Why was ravio the only one trying at the end of the UCLA game
That guy from Gonzaga who nonchalantly let two UCLA guys come to him when he there was a wide open guy to pass to. 🤦🏽♂️
2nd clip the dude who got the board traveled so bad…
FROM THE PARKING LOT!
I’m sorry, but WHY did Curry not launch the ball against Kansas - I’m SURE that absolute haunts him! The pride of Davidson! The Law of Gus! Shoot it, man! If String Theory is proven, imagine the universes where Curry sinks Kansas!
Can we somehow get Gus to call The Masters?
Alexa should be Gus. He should do every game. He makes ncaab
Are you sure that's not old Gus Fring
Imagine him and jim ross tandem in commentary
Future wolves play by play announcer!
Even Curry was no match for My Jayhawks, i watch that Game and i almost lost it
Damn if only Bron knew how many rings Curry was gonna take from him he wouldnt have gone to see him 🤣
2:47
3:40 HUH?
Rebounder on Gonzaga travelled, okSt should have won
