From his remarkable run as play-by-play announcer for the Knicks to his prominent national roles calling our marquee games on NBC and Turner Sports, Marv has been the soundtrack for basketball fans for nearly 60 years. We congratulate him on a Hall of Fame career that is simply unmatched.
He called eight Super Bowls on national radio. He has three additional children: Brian, Denise and Jackie.

Albert got to call the conference finals on Turner—a swell gig, but sort of the announcing equivalent of being champion of the Eastern Conference.
The best guess is their mids, especially with a challenging sport like basketball. For Albert, calling a game is clearly harder. His voice got drowned out by the crowd noise in Toronto and the in-game music in Milwaukee. In Game 5, he got hoarse when talking about Kawhi Leonard less than two minutes into the game. Then there are the mistakes. He called a late shot-clock violation as Marc Gasol getting fouled—though ultimately he was right when the refs wound up changing the initial call.
Without asking, I know those kinds of mistakes kill Albert. It happens. We might have a whole season left of Marv Albert calling this kind of stuff. We might have one game. In either case, I encourage you to fasten onto a call and fill in the rest of the sound with your memory or YouTube. There are little moments of NBA history, and then there are the ones worth shouting about.

Week 10 Preview: Browns vs. Patriots, Titans vs. Harry was hit by one as well and landed on Marv. Marv remarked that Harry was "missing some teeth. They got up and chased Kevin upstairs.
Harry tripped over a wire and fell on his back, but Marv managed to avoid the trap and leapt at Kevin, managing to grab his foot. However, Kevin then placed a tarantula on Marv's face, causing him to let go of Kevin, scream, and fling it onto Harry's chest.
Kevin ran upstairs while Marv grabbed a crowbar and attempted to smash the tarantula, only managing to hit Harry with it. Once Harry recovered, he angrily took the crowbar and hit Marv with it. They continued the chase and followed Kevin, only to see he was already in a treehouse on the other side of the backyard. Marv reluctantly climbed the rope leading it, followed by Harry but Kevin brandished hedge trimmers and cut the rope, causing the bandits to fall to the ground.
The two then manage to ambush Kevin at the Murphy home. As they threaten the boy, Kevin's neighbor Marley incapacitated them with a snow shovel. While being arrested, Marv gloats about their crimes, thus confessing to a number of their burglaries. Harry kicks him in frustration, telling him to shut up as they are placed in the back of police car. Putting double-sided tape on one glove, he stole money from a donation bucket and suggested to Harry that they adopt the name the "Sticky Bandits.
Later, Marv bumped into a fashion model and his hand accidentally stuck to her purse. After managing to pull his hand away, Marv said he was sorry in French, but the model did not accept his apology and slapped Marv across the face before leaving. At an ice rink, Harry called Marv forth and acknowledged to him that they had to change their game, as they were not getting anywhere with stealing goods, deciding to steal cash instead.
Marv suggested robbing hotels, but Harry knew that tourists were not guaranteed to have much cash. Harry pointed out that stores that specialized in moderately-priced goods would have the most cash in stock. When Marv suggested that the candy stores would have the most money on hand at Christmas time, Harry sneered that 'Nine year old's rob candy stores!
Making it to Duncan's Toy Chest , they planned on staying there overnight, stealing the money, and then leaving the next morning. Marv and Harry later saw that Kevin is also in New York and tried to catch him, but he used beads from a necklace in order to trip them up.
Marv and Harry later caught Kevin when he fled the Plaza Hotel after being exposed for having a stolen credit card by the staff. After ripping Kevin's plane ticket, so that he could not get back home to Chicago or Miami with his family, Marv revealed their entire robbery plan to Kevin and their plan to kill him, much to Harry's annoyance, with Kevin recording the whole discussion with his Talkboy.
Kevin managed to flee their grasps once again when he caused Marv and Harry to be punched by the same woman that Marv had previously been slapped for hitting on earlier and escaped in the back of a horse-drawn carriage. Harry was initially discomforted knowing that Kevin is around, but Marv eased his worries, as Kevin had no home to booby trap them with, and on top of that, was now alone in Central Park, which nobody could survive at night. On Christmas Eve, while Harry and Marv robbed Duncan's Toy Chest, Kevin knocked on the window, took a photo, and threw a brick through the window, setting off an alarm.
Marv and Harry both unknowingly jumped onto a plank and trash can set up as a makeshift see-saw which sent Harry flying through the air and landing on top of a car. They pursued Kevin to his uncle Rob's house.
While attempting to bargain with the boy, Marv was hit four times by bricks that Kevin throws down, leaving him briefly disoriented. When Kevin left the roof, Marv went up the stairs and tried to open the front door, but was tricked by the knob which was attached to a staple gun via a rope on the other side. When Marv finally pulled on the rope, the staple gun fired into his buttocks. When he turned, the gun fired into his groin.
He then fell and the gun fired again into his nose. He then kicked the door open and, not noticing a gaping hole in the floor, fell down a three-story drop to the basement.
