Mike Breen is one of the most incredible announcers the game has ever seen, not just in basketball but in the world of sports. So many iconic moments and truly an inspiration to many. Salute!
As an NBA play-by-play announcer myself in the tiny country of Belgium, I always listen(ed) to Mike Breen to pick stuff up. You can sense his love through his commentary: he announces a boring mid-january game as if it was the NBA Finals itself.
As a Knicks fan our fan base is incredibly lucky to have Breen and Clyde announcing our games. I hope their around forever they’re the absolute best
As a Knick fan, having him and Clyde call our games is a major reason why i kept tuning in all those years we were stuck in purgatory. It feels so good now that we have a decent team 😂
In addition to being the GOAT broadcaster, Mike’s legit funny too. His dry humor is so under appreciated
I've met Mike a couple of times, and he's by far one of the nicest dudes I've ever had the chance to talk to. He's the GOAT
Mike Breen a walking living legend. As a Knicks fan I am so grateful I get to hear him most nights calling our games. Protect this guy at all costs
it's so cute seeing JJ sit there smiling in what appears to be pure admiration for mike and his wisdom. like a kid listening to his granddad telling a story 🥰
the GOAT caster
Mike breen is the 🐐 point blank period.. and him and Clyde on MSG is must watch tv, I am so grateful to grow up with him! 🙏🏼
Mike just gets it, the right call can make or break a legendary play, that he understands that and feels the responsibility says everything.
Was already a big fan of Breen but man, what a pro. This guy really is the best in the business. You can tell he’s very thoughtful and takes a lot of pride in his work. And he genuinely loves the game.
Mike Breen is a national treasure, I hope you guys bring him back at some point
Interview starts at
Top 3 announcers of all time in all sports. such an icon
Damn I wasn’t expecting his regular voice to be that much different. That’s insane!!!
Mike Breen is an amazing announcer, but an even cooler dude. Been lucky to meet him a few times and he's just such a solid guy. He puts so much work into his craft.
I love this man. We have been so fortunate as Knicks fans to have him on the call most nights. Only if we could put together a championship team before he hangs it up. Clyde too.
As a Nets fan who only gets to listen to Mike Breen on national TV games, he has been so memorable throughout my life. Undoubtedly the GOAT announcer, and so glad I got to listen to gain some insight from someone as special as him. Thank you :)
Mike Breen one of the goat. Great interview.
