  Cavs force a game 7. Warriors look to do likewise tomorrow. We haven’t had BOTH conference finals go 7 games since 1979.

  Great note by Jim Nantz. Jack Buck called the last Chiefs Superbowl on CBS 50 years ago. Joe Buck will call the Chiefs in SB54 in 2 weeks.

  In 1990, my broadcast journey was just beginning in Albany NY. In 2000, I made it to ESPN Radio, hoping to break into our game coverage. In 2010, I was studio hosting our big games but hoping to get more PxP opportunities. In 2020, well, I’m living out my dream job. Blessed.

  Please say a prayer or two for our good friend Bob Valvano (
  @VShowradio
  ) He had heart bypass surgery yesterday and is now in recovery. His broadcast season ends on the eve of Champ Week, but I can’t wait to hear his take on the Tournament and of course work with him next fall!

  The Cavs may have hit a low point tonight in San Antonio. Kyrie Irving just came back out to get extra shots before hitting the shower.

  I had headphones on, and the crowd reaction to those 2 plays were as loud as any building I’ve been in for a very long time.

  It was an honor to finish off the NBA bubble experience with this crew over the last 4 weeks. Time to check out and head home. Congrats Lakers. Well done NBA.

  Replying to @ESPNPR
  Absolutely heartbroken. As nice a guy as he was an ace reporter. Always kind when we crossed paths. Devastated for his wife and kids. RIP
