Well some might know I'm a Knicks fan and watch most of their games and a staple to the Knicks experience is the legendary basketball player turned color analyst Walt 'Clyde' Frazier.
He is known for his rhyming through out the Knicks broadcast on MSG (sports station in NYC that broadcasts the Knicks), and his great vocabulary.
Some of his rhymes include:
Poasting and Toasting
Dishing and Swishing
Running and Stunning
Shaking and Baking
Below are two short videos hearing Clyde in action using his rhymes and vocabulary:

From listening to his commentary for years now I would say he drops at least 10-15 rhymes a game naturally. Its an art he has mastered.
I thought this was pretty cool connection because of the fact we are on Poetry this unit and looking at end rhyme, middle rhyme, etc.
