These are the best calls from Eric Collins, the Charlotte Hornets commentator, but as the video goes on they get increasingly more crazy! Business Inquiries: mcosh3@gmail.com
This dude is amazing. The passion just seeps through his voice. If the Hornets won a championship on a buzzer beater his heart would literally explode in his chest

4:30 as someone who used to live in Beaverton, OR I can tell you you have to cross a river, go all the way through Portland, drive through a big ass tunnel, then drive past the zoo a few miles down 26 with bumper to bumper just to get from Moda Center to Beaverton. In case anyone was wondering how far away that shot was. Lmao
Unapologetically a diehard fan for his team and makes the listeners feel like they're hanging out with another friend, but still gives the other teams and players their flowers. the definition of a great announcer
he’s not even from charlotte or even the carolinas, he’s from cleveland. it’s cool to see a guy like that care so much about the team; he’s just genuinely a fan of basketball
@@samc3030 two of my favourite commentators for the Raptors are both American and been doing it for years. They got genuine passion for the team and Canada as whole. Love it when teams have passionate commentators.
Nah they need to give those commentary jobs to established millionaires with no personality like the most amazing human being ever, Shaq (I’m being sarcastic of course). When he’s not doing commercials and being brown nosed that is.
The problem is that it wouldn’t be nearly as authentic. This guy definitely seems like a Hornets fan which means that he couldn’t just do this nationally. Plus, you put a broadcaster that’s extremely biased towards one team on national television, most people aren’t going to be happy.
I'm a Spurs fan but I love Eric Collins! During the Hornets/Spurs 1st game this year Wemby had 3 dunks in a row and after the 3rd dunk he just exclaims "I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE, AND HE'S WEARING SILVER AND BLACK!"
Like, I get if your team is rivals with the Hornets, and you hate him hyping them up so much, but, be fucking for real lol imagine walking around hating the poor Hornets
@@elscorchbro11 Even then, he does a pretty good job acknowledging the other team making plays even when letting out all that despair. Like that Tatum 3 early in the vid.
@@elscorchbro11 Sometimes it can be a bit much, but ya gotta love and respect the enthusiasm at the end of the day. Don't know how bro still has vocal chords tho LOL
Can confirm. He missed his first game the other week, and man, that was some of the toughest TV I've ever watched. The man deserves a ceremony and spot in the rafters when he's finished. He's 100% Hornets royalty
Lmao such an innocent and wholesome style of announcing, in a good way lol. 4:22 who just goes “WHOOO!!” 4:30 “WHOOOO Alright!” 4:38 “WHAT!!! WHAT!!! WAAHOOOO!” 😂 love this man
Your videos are always top notch man - crafted and sequenced well, edited well, always high quality. Just really appreciate the time and effort you put in man, keep up the good work.
my throat hurts just listening to this guy.. the way he gets excited by a 2nd quarter nick richards layup is baffling and incredible to me at the same time
Eric Collins... put some respect on his name. The best announcer/ultimate hornets fan. TERRY WON THE TIP!!! Ive never heard someone go unhinged after winning a jump ball. 😂😂 had me wheezing 🤣🤣

They just gave away Scary Terry to a fat Lowry and some unknowns not in the NBA yet so we might not see Hornets even in the Play-ins unfortunately.

NOOOOOO! AHHHHHHHH!!!
Jerry lawler scream!

he's unapologetically a hornets fan and i love it
Well he’s their home announcer so that makes sense
@deeworldz5086 Yeah, but most announcers try to keep it somewhat neutral on the calls.
@@iamtheteapot7405 should be more like the hornets one
fr even though they’re like 10-31 😭
Not just that, a basketball fan, he has absolutely no problem with giving opposing players the same hype reactions, it's honestly beautiful
Pistons announcer but he gets increasingly more depressed.
LOOOOL
Yes
Yea
Might even hear a gunshot.
Mf at the gun store when he sees the pistons announcer buy his cheapest shotgun and a single shell
He’s actually genuinely reacting to the game plus he has charisma and jokes. Perfect announcer
“He’s never made a free throw as a pro…BUT HE HAS NOW!!!!”
😂😂😂
If you didnt know anything about the NBA and just watched this video, youd think Terry Rozier is the GOAT😂
TERRRRRRYYYYYY
What do you mean??? Terry IS the goat
Damn the heat got a steal
I don't watch NBA (I look at clips like this because my friend is obsessed with it).
Terry is the GOAT.
Lmao
"Omg, 10 turnovers for James Harden! A quadruple double!" 🤣🤣🤣
"Thats history folks"😂
5:29 “Bridges rips it down…oohhh😭” 😂😂😂
He nutted 😂😂
Top 5 right there
He came right there
Bro the whimper I'm crying LMAO
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like how in 0:03 you can hear a distant “aye-yo” after he says it
You can see his eyes widen as he realizes what he said
Man said “⁉️”
Lmao i love how he immediately knew what he just said on that first clip
The big, shocked googly eyes were hilarious. Dude stunned himself. 😆
@@_Jay_Maker_he looked as crazy as he sounds which is fantastic
"he almost came in my lap..."👁️👃👁️
That face 😂😂😂
He couldn't even save himself by saying "Pause" cause of the live broadcast but he was a good sport about it lmao
“O MY GOOODNESS JUST EMASCULATED HIM” is crazy😭😭
😂😂😂😂
Super outta pocket and yet still so appropriate 🤣
nahhh the one before he sounded just like Plankton 😭
0:51
Was looking for this one- hilarious! 😂😂😂
0:41 The way he yelled no when kelly oubre thought about to shooting😂
Right after that does he not say “Kelly Oubre almost pulled a boner “
He said da man almost pulled a boner 😂😂😂😂
"That will leave a mark on Deaaron Fox...emotionally" 🤣
Best part
Just the primal NOOOO scream when KAT was shooting for 44 points in the half is comedy 😂
funniest call i’ve ever seen
😂😂😂
Primal? It’s the exact opposite of primal.
Its such a funny nooooo
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I love how he goes from a professional well-balanced commentator to 11 year old boy in a manner of seconds
😂😂😂
😂
Reminds of bill walton back in the day calling games. Dude was hilarious. He would say the most outlandish ish
@@ddj0615 back in the day? the man still calls college basketball games (pac-12), and it's generally as entertaining as you can imagine :P
"It's really important to have clear communication when rotating off a screen and here.... OH KILL SHOT MUSHROOM STAMP THAT MFer, YOU GOT SONNNNNNED. #WORLDSTAR
You can’t fake that excitement. He loves his job. Probably realizes he sees great things in every game and is just a real fan

I had to look it up on Google maps and it’s half of Charlotte’s south side away lmaooo

Yeah that dejected whimper "OOOOooh....." is the part that made laugh the most!!! 😂😂😂
he was cooming
Yeah
i love how unbiased he is on insane plays whether it’s the opposing team or not 😂 when kat made that three i was legit scared he was gonna explode
He exploded on that Lavine three 🤣🤣🤣
That's my favorite thing about him.
Dude loves basketball. Doesn't matter who’s playing.
But especially the Hornets ;)
Maybe he would have exploded if Jordan Clarkson came in his lap ☠☠
Its so refreshing lmao, it sucks when you hear announcers salty their home team losing😂
we may be terrible but at lease we have the most fun announcer in the NBA 😂
Thank you for it. I love him
I mean... have you not heard of Stacy King for the bulls?

@@cosmicjimbo stacy kings boring he says the same line
Indeed 😅
If Steph Curry played in Charlotte, Eric Collins Would lose his mind every game
I just watched a grown as man screaming “hum diddly dee” and “whoopty doo” multiple times…..
And I LOVED IT!
"THAT'LL LEAVE A MARK ON D'AARON FOX... emotionally" floored me.
Dawg when I heard that it had me laughing for 10 min 🤣🤣🤣
LOL same. Came to the comments for this camaraderie
2:53
Until the Hornets win the NBA title by way of a game winning buzzer beater, this man's heart is safe.
This is the best comment 😂
if that happened he’d destroy all the viewers ear drums and then probably die afterwards
He would spontaneously combust
He would open a rift in space
He would open a rift in space
The fact that he can make HORNET highlights seem exciting is pretty legendary
I get the sense that the Hornets go for the extra theatrical dunks for the sole purpose of listening to this guy's call of it later that night.
I'm not gonna lie, it's unhinged from the jump. This man is INSANE
This must've been crazy during the bubble, teams can just hear this man screaming 😂
Commentators are not with the team in the bubble. They commentated remotely.
He’s not insane! He just got alot of energy you doofus
came here to say the same thing ahahaha
idk how you get more unhinged than the first ten seconds
@@alankingchiueven better, bet the neighbors know 😂

"good golly what a BALLER" love it. He recognizes greatness
Get this man announcing nationally televised games NOW 😂🔥
Facts!!! Let him call the finals please 🙏🏾
Senior citizens wouldn't approve 😂
Nah they need to give those commentary jobs to established millionaires with no personality like the most amazing human being ever, Shaq (I’m being sarcastic of course). When he’s not doing commercials and being brown nosed that is.
