Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis caught NBA fans’ attention with 31 points off the bench in Sunday’s 140—129 win over the visiting Phoenix Suns. He also got ABC commentator Hubie Brown’s attention in a much more direct manner.
Portis dominated in the first half, going 10-of-13 for 25 points to help the Bucks build a 22-point lead over the Suns at the break. The Bucks star sank his first five three-pointers of the game and was feeling so emboldened that he gave longtime NBA analyst Hubie Brown, who was calling the afternoon game for ABC, an enthusiastic shout-out.
After Portis drained yet another three in the second quarter, he yelled, “That’s for you, Hubie!”
