To be responsible and serve that moment right for the player and the team.”ĭuring the interview, Redick asked Breen what separates a good announcer from a great announcer, which allowed Breen to mention the things he strives to do whenever he is on a broadcast. You are not going to get all of them right, sometimes you blow them. I feel it’s an honor and a privilege to call these games, but I also think it is a responsibility to do those moments right. You want to do service to that special moment in the NBA. You want to make sure that you do the moment right for the player or for the team. “When I hear those highlights played back, it’s kind of surreal actually. The reason Breen gets upset when a call like that doesn’t go the way he hoped is that he feels he has a responsibility to the player, the team, and the league to capture the moment correctly. “The reason I was so mad was because the whole crew had just knocked it out of the park and by one second at the very end, I blew the call.” Now, if that was 10 years ago, It probably would’ve been a 2-week grief period. Then, Jayson Tatum hits the shot at the end and I butchered the call as badly as I’ve ever butchered a big call at the end of a game, I couldn’t sleep the next 2 days. It was one of those games and I think I even said it to Tim Corrigan, who was producing, it’s all clicking. However, he knows sometimes, he isn’t going to get it right every time.īreen was a guest on The Old Man and The Three podcast and he was asked by JJ Redick and Tommy Alter what was the worst call he ever had in his illustrious career, The answer he gave was at the end of last year’s playoff game between the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics. He always has a good feel for the moment and has had his fair share of great calls. Mike Breen is always known for his signature “bang” call during an NBA game on ESPN or ABC.
