I never bought last year's NBA Jam offering due to the exclusion of "tag mode." But I recently purchased NBA Jam: On Fire Edition on XBLA and have been caught off guard and laughing like an idiot over some of the great new commentary by Tim Kitzrow. I think it might actually be some of the best that I've ever heard in an arcade-style game.
Here's just a few of my favorites:
"Not cool, dude! You shot blocked me."
"Oh, I love it when you call me big blocker!"
"Admit it, dude... you were goal tending!"
"Uh, ya gotta pass the ball G!" *After repeated shots/points with the same player*
"I got news for ya bro... not happenin" *After missing the shot at the buzzer*
"This lucky fan is shooting for a new car!" *When throwing up a prayer from the other end of the court*
Any of you guys (and gals) recall any other good ones in these new Jam games?

"Pancakes for everyone!"
I think this is a homage to the skit in the Chappelle Show about Charlie Murphy's crew playing b-ball with Prince and his crew (the Revolution?). I noticed a screen in the "On Fire Edition" the other day that said "Game, blouses!"
So I'm pretty sure the pancakes are in reference to that skit - where Charlie Murphy's team were served pancakes after being dominated by Prince's team, the "Blouses." lol

Tim makes the game way so much better!
After a three: "I am the rainmaker. I'll ride you hard and your gonna get wet."
After a block: "Like my wife says every night REJECTED!"
After Block: "And he hit them with the 'It's not you it's me' rejection!!!!"
Failed dunk: "Sorry pal, the donut store is all out of Dunkin today!"
When a three swishes "Just like Jr snooping through his mom's top drawer ... he finds the nylon!"
After a failed dunk : "Like my first prom date not pretty!"
This one i didn't hear all of it but it went like: "Oh yeah bro i get up like a (didn't hear) on a pogo stick!"
After a Dunk: "And this is the Deadliest Catch ON THE DUNKING CHANNEL!!!"
After a Dunk: "He just got his Dunking degree at Dunking on U!"
After a goaltending: "Oh sure you can shove people down, but that was goaltending"
With one Minute left: "One minute left, Don't screw it up!"
Edit:Just heard another one
When you get on fire: "Just like Santa Clause coming down the chimney he burst into flames!"
