Stu Scott reads 1998 editions of Slam Magazine to get his street lingo. John Buchigrass has more street cred than Stu.

That's not a new term. Pretty much anybody who's played basketball black or white knows what it means it's not a ghetto thing.

Yes...it is another tired expression that has caught on and won't go away.
I also want to deliver a uterus punch to all the football announcers who use the expression "dial up". They are killing it. Others that can go away peacefully: Pick-6 and walk-off hit

Is just stupid. How about calling them "assists"?

I guarantee it has nothing to do with blackness, ghetto-ness, and teen pregnancy.

For those who aren't as hip, rebounds are also colloquially referred to as "boards". You're welcome.
