Kevin Harlan continues to deliver amazing call after amazing call.
He gave us one amazing Celtics call earlier in the playoffs, and there are so many to list that include the Furman shot over Virginia in men’s March Madness.
This time, he was on the mic for TNT in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat. And his call of Jimmy Butler hitting a three-point dagger to give the Heat the Game 1 win was an instant all-timer.
“OH JIMMY FRICKIN BUTLER PUTS IT IN!” he shouted.
NBA fans agreed that was an all-time great call:
