The Chicago Bulls’ Michael Jordan’s three-point explosion in Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals against Portland is easily one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen. As he made his sixth straight, he winked directly at (broadcast partner) Mike (Fratello) and me and held his palms up in a shrug, as if to say, What can I do?

In radio, you are the game, so to speak - you have to describe every aspect. In TV, Ive always felt less is more, and its really a question of my setting up the color analyst more than anything else.

My strong game was ping pong. Relentless... steady.

My on-the-court game was ordinary. I had a jumper but needed screens. I could go right but not left.

Game calls cant be just, Oh, by the way, as part of a larger discussion.
