The Chicago Bullsโ Michael Jordanโs three-point explosion in Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals against Portland is easily one of the greatest performances Iโve 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?
Marv AlbertMy on-the-court game was ordinary. I had a jumper but needed screens. I could go right but not left.
Marv AlbertI would never scream at my kids, never raise my voice. But as they often tell me, they were so well behaved that screaming was not necessary.
Marv AlbertTheres a fine line between physical and thug ball, and the Knicks have crossed the line on occasion.
Marv AlbertI feel I'm better now than I ever have been. You learn so much as you're doing it. I'm watching tapes and I'll see things that get me annoyed and where I know I can improve. I understand better letting the crowd play more. I've always said it was important for me who I was working with, because I like to kid around a lot. But I've also learned to use my partner better. I'm feeling good. There's no reason to stop.
Marv AlbertI feel very fortunate that I'm doing what I wanted to do from the third grade on. I became very interested in the sports broadcasting aspect even at that early age. I'd turn down the sound on the TV and do games in my house - and probably get everybody looking for me to go into a room and lock the door so they didn't have to hear it.
