Gus Johnson announces boxing too

Thanks to The Sports Flow for this, but if you thought Gus Johnson was only good in basketball, well, he can make boxing exciting too.

"WHAT A FIGHT! JEFFREY RESTO! THE HEART OF A LION!"

OT Buzzer Beater Tip in by David Lee

A video from earlier this year with a last second tip-in by David Lee to win the game... but of course, the clip is more famous for the excited yell from Gus Johnson as it goes in. As usual, Gus Johnson makes everything a little better.

Gus Johnson on a call

This video is awful, but it displays the goodness of Gus Johnson, screaming and yelling after a putback dunk. Gus rocks.

Last 40 seconds of UCLA vs. Gonzaga

This is the video from the 2006 Sweet 16 game between UCLA and Gonzaga, and it very well be my most favorite video ever. To give you an idea of how good this ending was, even Len Elmore got excited. That's tough to beat.

More from Gus Johnson:

Adam Morrison Game-Winner Against Oklahoma St.

This is from 2005, a meeting between Gonzaga and Oklahoma St., where Adam Morrison hit a late 3 to give the Zags the lead and the win. The thing I really like about this is the commentators... Gus Johnson and Bill Raftery. Here's the patented Gus Johnson call:

"MORRISON...6... FIIIIIIIIIREEEEESSS....OOOOHHHH HE BANKED IN A 3!"

Princeton 43, UCLA 41

"What makes the NCAA Tournament what it is? Coach Dean Smith would say, 'I could never beat Jack Nicklaus for 18 holes,' but he also said that, 'on that given day, at that given moment, he may be able to beat Jack on 1 hole. Enter Princeton."
