NBA Jam Catchphrase Contest (Brackets Revealed)

Looks like we were way off in our speculation on the big announcement.

EA Sports have announced that Tim Kitzrow, the original voice of NBA Jam, is back to call the action in the new game. They have also announced a Catchphrase Contest, inviting the community to submit their own catchphrases for different gameplay actions including dunks, assists, alley oops, blocks, three point shots, two point field goals, "on fire" shots, steals, shot clock violations, rebounds and missed shots. Enter the contest via this app on the official NBA Jam Facebook page, full rules and conditions of entry can be found here on the official website.

Just a reminder that entries for the Catchphrase Contest for NBA Jam close tomorrow, so if you haven't entered yet head on over to the Boomshakalaka tab on the official NBA Jam Facebook page and submit your entry before 9:00 AM PST for your chance to have your catchphrase in the game and your name in the game's credits.

I would be disappointed if "BOOM! Goes the dynamite!" doesn't make it in the game.

I'd assume someone's submitted it, if it hasn't already been recorded.

The best is "Call The SLAMbulance"
