Gene Peterson, RIP.
“Backing in, backing in…”
“He committed 5 fouls on Hakeem on one play”
“Yes!”

I love Gene’s reaction when the game clock didn’t start against the Jazz.

I still remember after every Rockets win, his signature line “How sweet it is!”

A great announcer from the days when pro basketball was actually a watchable team sport. The best years of pro basketball.

He was terrific and a fun guy. He used to stop in occasionally at the bar of the old Stouffer’s hotel in Greenway after the games way back when. Loved to talk basketball.
