With how quick any basketball game can change, dramatics are a given each time the ball hits the floor. At the highest levels, an announcer who can match the moment is critical. Luckily for NBA fans, legendary play-by-play voices grace each game no matter the network.
That’s long been the case with the illustrious Marv Albert, one of the best NBA broadcasters in history, calling Michael Jordan’s best moments that eventually led to the proverbial torch being passed to the likes of Mike Breen and Mike Tirico. Albert called everything from the Willis Reed game in 1970 to the game winning shot from John Paxson to give the Bulls their third-straight title in 1993 and even LeBron James’s epic buzzer beater to take down the Magic in Game 2 of the 2009 Eastern Conference finals.
