What’s it like to call an NBA game with no previous play-by-play experience? In a word, thrilling.
To be clear: Brady told us this in the final commercial break before tipoff because regular play-by-play aficionado Adam Amin had moments prior been temporarily pulled from the broadcast for an issue surrounding his testing for COVID-19. We’re talking 3-minute notice.
I left a great job at the Chicago Tribune in 2019 to come to another great job at NBC Sports Chicago and try some multimedia journalism, push myself out of my comfort zone. I know the game. I definitely know the Bulls — and enjoyed having the platform to kick-start the debate on whether Tyler Cook should stay in the rotation when Tony Bradley returns. And I’ve listened to enough broadcasts in my career to have some semblance of cadence and flow — other than my zealousness to overdescribe action for TV play-by-play.What needs to be understood here is how ridiculously talented broadcasters are.
My phone was flooded. I read every complimentary text or Tweet — and even the critical ones chiding me for wearing a mask.
