VIDEO: Raptors Announcer Jack Armstrong Has Absurd Voice Crack After Serge Ibaka Blocks Kelly Oubre
By Jack Murphy
Serge Ibaka may not record the ridiculous block numbers he put up during his tenure with the Thunder, but the Raptors' big man can still lock down the paint with audacity. Well, the only thing more audacious than Ibaka's block on Kelly Oubre Friday night was commentator Jack Armstrong's reaction, which featured an absolutely absurd voice crack.
"??? ???? ??????? ????? ????!!"

Watch this for the call alone ? pic.twitter.com/lqUPnJvxz6
The block alone was a truly spectacular sight, but Armstrong's voice rising about eight octaves while he mocks Oubre truly puts this clip over the top.
While Armstrong is typically full of energy in the booth, he took things to a whole new level with his call on Friday night.
Wow serge Ibaka actually held on to that ball and got a bucket. He’s a new man ladies and gentlemen

We've seen some outrageous calls during moments of excitement in games before, but this may just be the best of the bunch.
Intentional or not, Armstrong's voice crack made this rejection a candidate for Play of the Game.
