“He was very proud of his work with NBC Sports, especially to help set the stage for some of the most memorable moments in the history of NBA. Knowing that his voice would be part of the game once again-and that a new generation of fans will get to experience this-” Fannay is an incredibly special, “Fagan” is very special for our family, “Fagan” will be very romant. “

And if it works, get ready for AI to revive the next Marv Albert.
