ESPN signed NBA announcer Mike Breen to a “long-term deal” ahead of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, he told BuzzFeed News. The deal is expected to take Breen well into the next decade.
This will be Breen’s 11th NBA Finals series, the most ever for a play-by-play announcer. Breen will be on the call with Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson, and Doris Burke — the crew’s seventh season together.
The Warriors are attempting to seal the deal on their historic year — they broke the NBA record for most wins in season — with a back-to-back NBA Championship.
