Makes me hope that if the Wolves and Knicks make the finals, they let Michael Grady and Breen trade off games.

There have been a few moments this series where he’s dropped a little bit of perfect Knicks context because he’s been there for all of it

I legit shed a tear with his Knicks comments. I want the Knicks to make the Finals in part just for Breen to call the series.

As a non Knick fan…we can tell he’s your guy
Great series win btw

Very true. I love him.

Couldn't agree more. I'm old enough to have had Marv Albert before him. To have Knicks guys be the best national broadcasters is amazing.

Not the same as being the lead announcer but Blackhawks fans got this with Eddie O being the color analyst for the 3 Stanley Cup wins. It made it feel extra special.

I'm in AZ but congratulations to your team and all NY fans. My hometown team Minnesota Timberwolves are also advancing. They've never won a nba championship.

Honestly that’s the same reason I thought that there was only one hockey announcer growing up, since Doc Emrick did both Devils games and nationally televised games.

Or Marv for much of the 90’s.

I go back to Marty Glickman.
He called the Knicks, Rangers, Giants, and harness racing from Yonkers Raceway. He was the only announcer you heard on the radio when I was a kid.

annnnd they're off..

Went to go see my team, the Kings, play at MSG two seasons ago for the first time and truly did a double take seeing Mike Breen courtside before the game started. How lucky the knicks are to have him calling their local games
