Marv Albert Retires
Hall of Fame sports announcer Marv Albert, who’s covered all kinds of sports but is most known for calling NBA games, will retire after the Eastern Conference finals, ending a six-decade career that began in 1963.
Albert will call the series for TNT. The 79-year-old Albert said Monday, “Now, I’ll have the opportunity to hone my gardening skills and work on my ballroom dancing.”
