More than an announcer, Chick embodied the spirit and determination that have made the Los Angeles Lakers champions 16 times over. The Lakers lone play-by-play voice since the team moved to Los Angeles prior to the 1960-61 season, Chick was the Lakers for the better part of four decades. With his words-eye-view of the game and colorful chickisms making his broadcasts truly one of a kind, it is a streak of unmatched proportions that will perhaps be Chick’s lasting legacy.
