1 voice, but Harlan has been given the first two plum assignments in the wake of Albert’s retirement.
Turner has yet to designate one of them as the No. The rights for the NBA Finals are held by ABC/ESPN, so the conference finals are as high as an announcer can currently rise at Turner, where Harlan, Brian Anderson, Ian Eagle and Spero Dedes now serve as play-by-play men. He retired last year after a 55-year career that included 22 with Turner.Īlbert’s departure left an opening in Turner’s two premiere spots - the All-Star Game and the conference finals. It is a new day at Turner Sports and on the TNT screen in these conference finals, which were narrated by Albert for more than two decades. Whether Albert will be in San Francisco for Game 1 of the Western Conference finals between the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night remains to be seen, but Harlan will again find himself in Albert’s chair. Little did he know that Albert, who responded with a kind message of his own, was finding his own seat at the arena, just a few rows behind where Harlan called the game at center court. “I may be broadcasting the game tonight,” Harlan’s message to Albert read, “but this will always be your chair and that fact is not lost on me.”
Before Harlan could feel comfortable settling in to take over, he felt compelled to acknowledge the irreplaceable man who preceded him.
