From Larry Stewart at the Los Angeles Times:
When [Al] Michaels does the play by play for ABC on the NBA Finals that begin Sunday, he will have accomplished a broadcasting Grand Slam.
He will become the first announcer to work the World Series, the Super Bowl, the Stanley Cup finals and the NBA Finals.
He has worked eight World Series, five Super Bowls and was the host of three Stanley Cup finals beginning in 2000.
And the “Do you believe in miracles?” Olympics.
Al Michaels, Marv Albert, and Bob Costas are all excellent. Nobody else is bearable. Why is there no middle ground?
