Legendary Play-By-Play Man Marv Albert To Retire
He'll apparently finish off the NBA playoffs and then he'll be finished, too. Marv Albert isn't a local sportscaster, but he's a legend in New York and on U.S. network sports broadcasts, despite some legal issues earlier in his career. I used to listen to him call the Ranger games on WNBC-AM a long time ago. It wasn't that I was a huge Ranger fan - I just really enjoyed the way he called the action.

I'll bet he'd like to forget the late 90's.

His last time calling play-by-play will be either Saturday or Monday, depending on who wins in the NBA playoffs.
“I think I’ll revert to doing it off the television set for my wife, as we were doing during lockdown and as a kid, my brothers and I would do it with a crowd record in the background. That’d be the closest I would get to it,” Albert said when asked if he’d consider a comeback. “I’m ready to call it quits. I’ve said this before but the pandemic was kind of a rehearsal for retirement.”
