Knicks-Hawks Game 5 could be Marv Albert's last game as an announcer at the Garden

Marv Albert will make what could be his final appearance as an announcer at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night when the Knicks host the Hawks in Game 5 of a first-round NBA playoff series.

The iconic play-by-play man – who first called a Knicks game in 1963 – plans to retire effective at the conclusion of the Eastern Conference final.

The Knicks, meanwhile, are on the brink of elimination, trailing the Hawks in the best-of-seven series, 3-1.

So this could be it for Albert, who will work the game on TNT alongside analyst Reggie Miller – who has his own history with the Knicks and the Garden from his playing days.
