With the NBA Finals starting today, comedians Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele spoofed pro basketball commentators during a skit on Comedy Central’s “Key & Peele.”

The pair portray energetic fictional announcers Chick Sarica and Bob DiSanzio, who describe players based on their legal troubles and try to top each other’s creative calls after each basket.

“I’m just saying words that start with ‘s,’” Sarica says before breaking into a fit of laughter.

Adds DiSanzio: “I’m just going pure nonsense.”
