Marv Albert Quotes

Marv Albert — American Celebrity born on June 12, 1941,

Marv Albert is an American sportscaster. Honored for his work as a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, he is commonly referred to as "the voice of basketball". From 1967–2004, he was also known as "the voice of the New York Knicks"... (wikipedia)

It's impossible to work under conditions where they confused negativity with objectivity. You can't fool the fans.

There's a fine line between physical and thug ball, and the Knicks have crossed the line on occasion.

Game calls can't be just, 'Oh, by the way,' as part of a larger discussion.

Looking back at the announcers I've always respected, they usually started out with radio before TV. It's such a wonderful testing ground, and I grew up where radio was more significant because there weren't as many games on television. I used to listen particularly to Marty Glickman and Les Keiter, the people who did the Knicks at the time.

In radio, you are the game, so to speak - you have to describe every aspect. In TV, I've always felt less is more, and it's really a question of my setting up the color analyst more than anything else.
