I’m more mainline Millennial, possibly ‘elder Millennial’, grew up in the PNW, heard it in the same way that you did, though possibly more matter of factly and genuienly.
This was when people would call out ‘Jordan!’ (as in Michael Jordan) prior to attempting a 3 pointer, and then people would shout either ‘Brick!’ to mean they thought it would miss, or various other phrases to mean they’d think the shot was good.
No clue if this latter part was widespread, regional, or just some weird quirk of my hometown.

TIL why Dean Winters says “brick” to a basketball player in a car insurance commercial.
