Another entry from the CLNS archive vault — the Johnny Most moment that set the Garden on fire and nobody talks about anymore Is Johnny Most a BBall Hall of Famer like Chick Hearn? Bob Ryan says he set the standard — and says Dave Cowens is the “dividing line in Most’s entire career.”
From setting himself on fire on-air to losing his dentures mid-broadcast, Cowens and Ryan break down what made Johnny Most unique, HILARIOUS and impossible to replace — plus how he stacks up against the Lakers’ own legend, Chick Hearn.
