	Chick Hearn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Hearn recovered from his illness and resumed broadcasting that season, receiving a standing ovation from the Staples Center crowd upon his return.

	LAKERS: 'Voice of the Lakers' Dies at Age 85
		Despite suffering a broken hip during his rehabilitation from his heart surgery, Hearn returned to the booth on April 9, 2002, after missing 56 games, to provide his "word’s-eye view" of the Lakers’ third consecutive title last season, and the team’s ninth NBA crown with him at the mike.
		To put Hearn’s longevity into perspective, consider that when he began his mind-boggling streak, Jerry West and Elgin Baylor were the Lakers’ stars, Phil Jackson was a junior at North Dakota and Kobe Bryant would not be born for another 13 years.
		He was given the nickname Chick when, as an AAU basketball player, he was handed a box of sneakers only to be surprised to find a chicken inside.
