ESPN’s Brian Windhorst is one of the best NBA reporters in the industry, and he certainly has a flare for the dramatic. Windhorst loves to build up anticipation as much as possible before delivering a take on the air. He may have outdone himself recently while discussing the future of the Utah Jazz, and Twitter had a field day with it.
Windhorst hinted on “First Take” Friday that the Jazz may blow up their roster this summer. He shared his opinion like a master storyteller.

The take was well-timed, as the Jazz traded Rudy Gobert in a blockbuster deal just hours later. Still, the delivery led to some hilarious memes.

“Evan says he’s only going to have one drink.
But he told the bartender to leave his card open.
Now why is that?“ pic.twitter.com/gOjylGs12n

Need a Brian Windhorst solo special where he just sits around a camp fire and tells stories.
