    		"In 1993, Carl Lewis attempted to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" before a Nets game. Lewis sang the entire song off-key and at a range too high for his voice. After his voice broke on the word "glare," he stopped and said "Uh oh," then said "I'll make up for it now" near the end of the song. He was widely ridiculed for the incident."
