Fantastic to see a majority of the classic NBA on NBC crew back together - and two former guests of my show among them: Mr. Stats himself, Elliott Kalb and The Czar of the Telestrator, @MikeFratello. 👏🏼

"That's Mike Fratello at his finest." "The Czar of the Telestrator" does what he does best to point out how a previous scuffle led to Luke Kornet committing a flagrant foul.

"I used to lead the league in technicals every year, and you're actually giving me a present?" The refs gifted Hubie Brown with the game ball for his final broadcast, and Hubie had to heckle them one last time 🤣 ❤️

A late Friday Froback never fails I mention some old @NBA 🏀 Playoff games and someone sends something like this to me. Game 6 of the 94’ Western Division Semifinals. Alongside “the Czar of the Telly” Mike Fratello from the School of Hubie Brown in Jersey. #JourneysTheBestPart 😊

"At the time, you go through the seasons together with everybody, you may not see as clearly. The appreciation for Dominique grew so much more after the fact. He got to understand how special he was, his greatness and what he did for the franchise and the city. I don't know if I ever saw him say no to someone who asked for an autograph." - Mike Fratello (Coach)
