"Didn't do much of that in Minnesota That's why he's in Memphis Now" 💀 💀💀

Honestly, I just want Charlotte in the playoffs just to hear this unhinged man screaming every possession

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

Him yelling NOOOO as KAT took that shot at 7:17 and the scream right after made me fall out of my chair

he's unapologetically a hornets fan and i love it

Pistons announcer but he gets increasingly more depressed.

He’s actually genuinely reacting to the game plus he has charisma and jokes. Perfect announcer

5:29 “Bridges rips it down…oohhh😭” 😂😂😂

If you didnt know anything about the NBA and just watched this video, youd think Terry Rozier is the GOAT😂

"Omg, 10 turnovers for James Harden! A quadruple double!" 🤣🤣🤣

"That will leave a mark on Deaaron Fox...emotionally" 🤣

0:41 The way he yelled no when kelly oubre thought about to shooting😂

Lmao i love how he immediately knew what he just said on that first clip

Just the primal NOOOO scream when KAT was shooting for 44 points in the half is comedy 😂

“He’s never made a free throw as a pro…BUT HE HAS NOW!!!!”

I like how in 0:03 you can hear a distant “aye-yo” after he says it

“O MY GOOODNESS JUST EMASCULATED HIM” is crazy😭😭

“10th turnover for James harden, a quadruple double” wasn’t ready for that one 🤣

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

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 love how he goes from a professional well-balanced commentator to 11 year old boy in a manner of seconds

7:05 “OH MY GOODNESS, CHICKEN SALAD DELUXE!!” got me HOLLERING 😭😭

6:33 “I LOVE LEAKY” such wise words from an announcer

Bruh was unhinged 45 seconds in 😭😭😭 this video delivered

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

“CHICKEN SALAD DELUXE” 😭😭

“A quadruple double” is crazy😂😂😂

I just watched a grown as man screaming “hum diddly dee” and “whoopty doo” multiple times….. And I LOVED IT!

Did the Hornets Commentator really just say after the 0:31 mark that "PJ TUCKER IS STILL SCORELESS AFTER 4 & 1/2 GAMES!" ?! 😂🤣

Eric Collins is one of the reasons I wish home announcers were in 2k. Imagine: "MP, HUMM DIDDLY DEE!"

3:30 yall dont know how funny "from sardis road" is lmfaooooo

“GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY” GOT ME ROLLIN 🤣🤣

“just emasculated him!” HELP ME 😭

Eric Collins is a treasure and EASILY the best part about being a hornets fan. thanks for the compilation!

the way he softly moans at 5:33 😂😂😂💀💀💀

"Didn't do much of that in Minnesota, now he's in Memphis" crazy😂

Get this man announcing nationally televised games NOW 😂🔥

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

If Steph Curry played in Charlotte, Eric Collins Would lose his mind every game

4:16 YEEEEESSSS ALLEY OUUUUBREEEEE My god 😂

we may be terrible but at lease we have the most fun announcer in the NBA 😂

that's a man that loves his job

The fact that he can make HORNET highlights seem exciting is pretty legendary

“Ohhhh my goodness!!! Chicken salad……..DELUXE!!” 😂😂😂😂

Until the Hornets win the NBA title by way of a game winning buzzer beater, this man's heart is safe.

"THAT'LL LEAVE A MARK ON D'AARON FOX... emotionally" floored me.

HUM DIDDLEY DEE!! 😭😭 this man is a treasure

1:31 As a Celtics fan, this is when I fell in love with this man. He loves basketball. But he LURVES the Hornets!

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 😂

“Jordan Clarkson almost came in my lap” AYO OFF RIP🤣🤣🤣🤣

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.

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

I DIED on “CHICKEN SALAD DELUXE!”

the AWW YEAH after the free throw at 6:27 floored me

5:34 when your mom said put back those chips

Years of announcing the Hornets have driven this man to the brink of madness

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!"

he is the only reason to ever watch a hornets game

“OOH MY GOODNESS!!! CHICKEN SALAD DELUXE!”

4:44 Mario when he completes a level 😂

He is still scoreless after 4 and a half games 😂

5:15 the stadium cheered louder for Steph than they did their own team 💀

AHAHAHA 2:41 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bruh That sent me!! " NOooowhere ta go!"

Omg this man was born to be a WWF announcer..could you imagine how hype he would have been?!?!

"I LOVE LEEAAAKKYY!!" That shii got me 🤣😂🤣

Sounds like he got his Dream Job 😂😂😂

“MILES BRIDGES RIPPS IT DOWNNN!!! ohhiee 🥺” this man’s a trip but I love it 😂😂

I don’t understand how some people don’t like him. I love how much fun he’s having. You know this guy loves his job

"GOOD GOLLY MS. MOLLY!!!!! HE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 🤣😂

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 🤣🤣

0:11 the disrespect is wild bro 💀

Hum Diddly Dee is an all-timer hahah

Give this man a good hornets team. He deserves it

"Trouble... loose... Chicago's got it! OH.... NO... YOU'RE KIDDING!" You can feel the heartbreak through the screen lmao

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.

0:55 "Just emasculated him!" 😂😂😂💀

The best team announcer in the NBA. Fun to hear him call games.

I love the passion. Fuck the “cool and compoised” shit, this style makes things 10x more fun, exciting, enjoyable, interesting, lively, etc.

5:45 MY MIND IS BLOWN! 🤯 😂

5:30 the voice crack tail off 😭😭 I can't 💀

This is why Eric Collins is a top 5 announcer of all time

The absolute GOAT of over the top game announcing. I wanna watch a Hornets broadcast NOW!

Quadruple double is nuts 🤣

another cool thing about Eric Collins is he appreciates and reacts enthusiastically when the opposing team/players just made an impressive play.

He put the freak in the basket 🤣🤣

“THE KILLSHOT! ITS OVER” if I were the president, I’d hire this man to be in the command room every time seal team six goin in to do business. Imagine that play by play lmaoo

“Terry with the tip” is an all time great hornets moment

The fact that this has its own video cracks me up. Dude is wild

6:53 "Myles Bridges just put The Freak in the basket!"

Dude, honestly, we want every announcer to have the same level of energy as this man, it's so much fun!

Imagine him at the dinner table and his wife surprises him with his favourite meal lmfao.

Jordan Clarkson almost came in my lap is wild

This man probably loves bridges more than his own family😭

“ALLEY-OOOOOOOOUBRE” and “TERRY TWOOOO BEAUTIES” might be two of the best calls I’ve ever heard

just glad to see the hornets have this many fire highlights

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

He needs to narrate my everyday life

This man is good crazy, and I love it.

Imagine finding a job that’s truly your calling, like broadcasting is for this man

*"AAAAAAaaaaaaAaaaaaAaAaAAAAA HOW-DIDDLY-DEEEEEEEE!"* God we love Eric Collins round these parts
