Minnesota Timberwolves play-by-play announcer Michael Grady couldn’t help himself Tuesday night.

In the middle of the Timberwolves’ matchup against the Chicago Bulls, Bally Sports North cameras panned to a row of fans. One was wearing a pair of large, white sunglasses and Grady just had to chime in.

“Woah, feel like my man ordered the Apple Vision Pros from the wrong website,” Grady said. “Those might be the biggest sunglasses I’ve ever seen.”

“You need some windshield wipers on those,” analyst Jim Petersen responded.

The game unraveled for the Timberwolves soon after that, however. Minnesota blew a 23-point lead and was outscored 14–8 in overtime to lose 129–123. 

NBA fans still loved Grady’s one-liner:
