Kevin Harlan

So I kind of feel like even though I've done conference finals clearly, but we'll never do an NBA final and always kind of feel like, you know, I feel like I've been with him on that journey and enjoy so much that he is the one representing our group of broadcasters in the league.

So I kind of feel like I've,

been a part of it from afar and lived it through his eyes and voice and friendship.

And I've always loved watching him be the flagship voice of this league.

Well, I love words.

Um, and, and again, you hope that during the game, that right word is there.

And you're kind of mentioned that, um, uh,

And some of this is carry over from my NFL broadcasting, too, because there's so many, you know, running backs who try to gouge their way over the left guard for a game of three or they bore their way or whatever.

The other night I was doing a Pistons Orlando playoff game and our view courtside was of a guy.

I think it was Tobias Harris.

I don't know if that is correct or not, but he came in, may have been Cade, came in and went inside the paint, but with authority, like he went in like just unabashed.

And I said, I used the word unflinchingly.

And because from my viewpoint, that was the word that popped up because he did not blink.

He just ramrodded his way right.

Ramrod.

I'm not sure.

It just sounds like what a guy does is ram it inside like that.

And that's kind of where that probably came from.

But I said, unflinchingly goes down the lane.

And I was working with Jim Jackson and I took off the headset and said, I have never that we had.
