“Bang!” goes the catchphrase of one of the most familiar NBA broadcasting voices out there, we are of course talking about the legendary Mike Breen. A veteran of countless games over decades, Breen has become an iconic part of the league’s broadcasting landscape but looks at one game in particular as his worst.
That game just so happens to be one of the more riveting and historic contests of the Boston Celtics‘ recent past — Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Playoffs first round series against the Brooklyn Nets. It seems Breen has an issue with how he called the contest that star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum won at the last second.
To hear why he feels that way, check out a clip from a recent interview on the “Old Man and the 3” pod hosted by former NBAer (and nearly, Boston assistant) JJ Redick we have embedded below for your viewing pleasure.
