There probably weren’t a ton of laughs to go around for Raptors fans on Wednesday after Damian Lillard and the Bucks completely dismantled Toronto.
But, hey! Look on the bright sight, folks! At least Gradey Dick got the first start of his career. That’s a huge plus.
Oh, you thought it was because he played well? No, that’s not it. He actually didn’t play well at all. He only shot 2-10 on the night and was a -29. He didn’t have a great game.
That’s fine, though! Because he did give us a good laugh. His actual introduction was hilarious.
The PA announcer faked us all out with an NSFW intro that was actually pretty SFW but sounded like it was definitely NSFW depending on where your mind went with it.
WARNING: There is some NSFW language in this tweet
The Raptors announcer introduced Gradey Dick as "Mr. Big Dick Energy." 🥹

It turns out the announcer didn’t say what you thought he said! Get your mind out of the gutter. He actually says “big BIG energy” here.
Apologies for any confusion- appears the official line on Gradey Dick's pregame intro was "Mr. Big, Big Energy."

GOT HEEEEM. That’s definitely an intentional fakeout from the Raptors’ PA announcer. Very well played. You’ve got to respect it.
The biggest takeaway here is that we need more Gradey Dick starts. This was fun.
