Episode 440 of "SI Media with Jimmy Traina" features an interview with ABC/ESPN lead NBA play-by-play man, Mike Breen.
Breen, who is about to call his 18th NBA Finals, talks about how wide open this year's playoffs have been, his longtime partnership with Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson and the impressive depth of NBA broadcasters across the networks.
Breen also discusses what his relationship is like with LeBron James and James still doing strong at 38 years old, whether he ever thinks about giving up calling Knicks games, his signature "BANG!" and "WAY OFF" calls, how he used to hook up Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden and much more.
Following Breen, Sal Licata from WFAN radio and SNY TV in New York joins Jimmy for their weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week, Sal explains the disaster he had to deal with while trying to watch a Knicks playoff game. Jimmy also reads recent Apple reviews listeners left for "SI Media with Jimmy Traina."
