1. The New York Post is reporting that Turner Sports may be looking to boot Marv Albert as the network's lead NBA play-by-play voice. The Post also reports that Brian Anderson is the leading candidate to replace Albert.
A few thoughts on this. First and foremost, Marv Albert should be able to call his own shots at this point. Yes, he's 77 years old, but he's the greatest NBA announcer of all time and still one of the best play-by-play people in the business. Even if he's lost something off his fastball and makes more mistakes than usual, he is still the iconic voice of the NBA.
