Rich Eisen brings back some glory days

The Sports Center video brings back the glory days of one of the NBA’s pre-game rituals. As Carl Lewis took to singing the national anthem, his baritone has Charley Steiner gasping for breath. Carl Lewis really outdid himself that day with how off-tune and track he was on that day.

With this really underwhelming performance, he not only got the NBA players chuckling on the court, but he also had Steiner balling in the studio. Steiner was seen breaking into a burst of hysterical laughter as he tried his best to remain civil on live TV.
