Legendary NBA play-by-play broadcaster Marv Albert plans to retire after the 2021 NBA playoffs, the New York Post reported on Saturday.

Albert, who turns 80 in June, has called games for nearly 60 years. Known for his iconic "Yes" call, the Brooklyn native has worked with TNT for more than two decades.

Starting in 1967, Albert became the regular play-by-play broadcaster of the Knicks on radio and television. He left that role after the 2004 season. He has been TNT's lead NBA play-by-play broadcaster since 1999.

According to The Post, TNT has begun reaching out to members of the NBA to honor Albert with a tribute during this year's postseason.
