Kevin Harlan Put on a Clinic During Sixers-Nets Playoff Game

1. When it was becoming clear that legendary NBA play-by-play man Marv Albert would end his run as TNT’s lead voice, I wrote a couple of columns saying that Kevin Harlan was the only choice to replace Marv.

Turner Sports came through and elevated Harlan as its lead play-by-play person last season, and Harlan called the Western Conference Finals for the network. While Turner has other excellent play-by-play folks, such as Ian Eagle, on its roster, it was Harlan’s time.

All anyone has to do to see why Harlan deserves his lofty position is watch the fourth quarter of Thursday’s Sixers-Nets playoff game, where Harlan shined and added even more excitement to a tight game that saw the Sixers pull off a wild 102–97 comeback win.
