NBA commentator and former coach Stan Van Gundy continues to learn new slang words and incorporate them very awkwardly. This time, it was during one of his broadcasting reps.
During the Los Angeles Lakers’ Tuesday night tilt with the in-house rival Los Angeles Clippers, Van Gundy described the playmaking that Lakers superstar LeBron James as “bussin.”
If you are older than 25 and don’t have a TikTok account (points to self), the phrase “bussin” means that something could be delicious, like a dish of food. The phrase has its roots in Black culture as part of African American Vernacular English. Oftentimes, you’ll hear it used to describe something being awesome.
Well, Van Gundy now knows what the word “bussin” means, and he also attempted to use it in a sentence during the Lakers/Clippers game. NBA star Kevin Durant appears to have helped him discover the phrase.
"LeBron's playmaking is bussin'… Kevin Durant has sent me to the Urban Dictionary so that I can get some of these terms right… Dwyane (Wade's) an old man; I'm not sure if he could keep up with the lingo."- Stan Van Gundy pic.twitter.com/FJiFvEcKgK

Older people learning younger people things is a tried and true way to get a good laugh, and Van Gundy seemed more than obliged to fulfill his duties in that important relationship.
Of course, everyone cringed when Van Gundy used the phrase "bussin."
Nah man. Please teach Stan Van Gundy how to use slang properly. 😂😭
