Share the Moment: John McEnroe coins "You cannot be serious"

i flip the channel when he is on......pitiful commentator.

Chalk flew up

Tennis Umpires back then were as blind as a bat always getting it wrong. Thank God for Hawk Eye today.

I love it when people speak truth to power...

That was in

Ostapenko calls lines better than this

It’s still on the line till this day.

Chalk flew up! 🎉

Not only was that ball very much on the line, it was closer to the inside box than to the outside box. That is why McEnroe's question is so pertinent (despite its impertinent tone). He was absolutely right in this case. And the Wimbledon officials were always prejudiced against him.

Legendary.

Not only on the line, but on the INSIDE of the line.

I hated this guy back in 1980 when I was 8. Love him now.

A better title should be "McEnroe gets trolled by the referee"

Who is here for the impersonation of Novak Djokovic?

A bad call made, a legacy catchphrase was born.

that was clearly on the line

The call was so bad the judge clearly was biased. His bias either clouded his judgment or worse, he intentionally misjudged that shot.

I've only ever played Tennis in Nintendo games, lol, so can someone explain why it mattered whether the ball was on the line or not?

Here for DFV

Chalk dust i wanna see my lawyer it was chalk dust.

Mac’s infamous remark!

Legend has it that the chalk is still up there somewhere, flying...


Seriously.

That hair though

Good serve too hard to hit that zone with power like that only to be wrongfully called

Still waiting on the day he gets really angry and becomes hulk

100% IN

He was so much better than most if not all at that time, I dont know if I would bother arguing , going to win anyways.

Where is my credit card? I’m supposed to have two of them right now.

I’m being censored

there is a commercial for Seat with same plot

This is obviously the best call ever, otherwise we wouldn’t have this footage.

Watched the TV live. Right there my mother went off tennis. From Jimmy Connors and Tanner to him. No more she said.

Ball was between service area and inner side of the white line. It was in without question.

"It was a bit of a spread"
Yes. A spread of what? A spread of the chalk flying up, because the ball hit the line.

40 years later Wimbledon officials STILL claim the ball was out….. but it was CLEARLY in! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Gotta love the rigor of Wimbledon tradition…😂😂😂😂😂

Even Stevie Wonder would have seen that one as in! 😂😂😂

The old Wimbledon officials were notoriously biased and noted for their bad judgement some of the time. The umpire should have over ruled the call as he had a better view.....Absolute Classic nonetheless

He’s my cousin I swear to god

My hand doesn’t have a mark on it and it doesn’t hurt

John's performances were pure RocknRoll

Personally my hero John and excellent volley tennis to boot.

The ball was actually inside the line - slow it down..........

Ball looked out.

Gambit hitting Gorr with shang - chi.
