How is Hubie Brown still a good commentator at the age of 90? (alien.top)

Watching Knicks vs Spurs right now. He's super solid and clear and makes good points about the game in front of him. Then I checked how old he is now and I realized he turned 90 a little over a month ago! Holy cow. I don't know any 90-year-olds who would be able to color commentate on a fast-paced basketball game. What do you think his secret is?

hubie has been doing this for a long time. he probably doesnt even process half the things he says as narrative thoughts before he says them - just recognizes a familiar sequence of colors and shapes moving and spits out whatever he has learned to fall back on over the years.
