While sitting courtside at Barclays Center to watch the Nets, a loose ball went out of bounds and knocked directly into rapper Travis Scott.
Ian Eagle, a longtime broadcaster who was just named the best announcer of the year by Awful Announcing, was ready with a perfect summary of exactly what happened.
As noted by Eagle, the ball came off Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley and made its way directly toward Scott’s drink. Eagle had some terrific calls as it happened.
Celebrity spillage.

Here are some of the highlights:
- “BANG! Right there. Oh wow. That’s a geyser.”
- “Look at that. I don’t know if I’ve seen celebrity spillage to that effect.”
- “Oh. He’s just going to open up another can. When you’re Travis Scott, you just go to the next can.”
- “Think about where this has to hit. Right there and then boom: an eruption. That’s like lava.”
- “The man just wanted to have a drink.”
This was just brilliant work by Eagle, who is considered one of the best in the business for a reason.
