ESPN New York Radio Host and Nets PxP Man Ryan Ruocco joined Kenny Ducey and Jake Kring-Schreifels to chat about the new Brooklyn Nets Head Coach, as well as his impressions of the NBA Finals thus far. Hear what he had to say on the future of the Heat's big three and who he has taking Game 5.
Bob Costas is one of the most awarded sports broadcasters we have ever seen. A winner of an incredible 25 Emmy Awards, Costas has also covered multiple World Series, NBA Championships, Super Bowls, and Olympic Games. While all of those accolades are certainly noteworthy, Costas recently took home what he calls one of the great honors of his career, WFUV’s Vin Scully Lifetime Achievement Award.
After finishing media availability in Miami between games one and two between the Spurs and Heat, Marc Berman of the New York Post joined One on One to talk about the NBA Finals.
On May 9, 2013, Bob Costas was awarded the Vin Scully Lifetime Achievement Award in Sports Broadcasting at the WFUV Annual Gala at the Edison Ballroom in Manhattan. It was a festive gathering of many familiar faces at WFUV, as Costas gave a moving speech in acceptance of the award. He told a few memorable stories about his favorite sport, baseball. In addition, he paid homage to the award's namesake, in saying that receiving the award was truly one of the great moments of his life.
Mike Breen, the voice of the NBA on ESPN and ABC, and the Knicks on MSG joined myself and Eric Mollo this afternoon on the show to talk all things NBA Playoffs. We started off the discussion with tonight's game three in the western conference finals between the Spurs and the Grizzlies. With San Antonio leading 2-0 heading into Memphis, what's the key for the Grizz?
Indiana Pacers head coach Frank Vogel was outspoken in his remarks after his team beat the Knicks last weekend to move on to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat. He referred to the Heat as "the next team that's in our way."
Tom Haberstroh is one of the many people that was impacted by LeBron James’ infamous decision to head to South Beach in 2010. Having never taken a journalism class, Haberstroh was hired by ESPN.com as an analytics writer for ESPN’s Miami Heat Index.
The stage was set for the Nets to become the 9th team in NBA playoff history to come back from a 3-1 deficit, hosting Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals in the Barclay's Center. Kirk Hinrich was out with a calf injury, Luol Deng rested in a Chicago hospital suffering from the flu, and Derrick Rose dressed in a suit ̶ still unable to play one year after tearing his ACL. Despite the Bulls' injuries and momentum from a two game winning streak, it was not to be.
Ravaged by injury, the Chicago Bulls have given Deron Williams and the Nets a chance to climb back into their first-round affair, as the series shifts to the United Center for game 6 tonight. Tom Thibodeau's proud bunch heads home with a 3-2 lead, but reinforcements would surely help.
Derrick Rose isn’t playing (yet), and that means Deron Williams is ready for the spotlight in his first playoff stint as a Net. “I feel good, I definitely feel confident. I’m excited about being back in the playoffs; it’s been two years since I’ve been there. I’m ready to go,” said Williams after Wednesday’s win over Detroit. Williams last played postseason ball in 2010, for the Utah Jazz, and averaged over 24 points per game. This time, though, he won’t be dishing to Carlos Boozer, Andrei Kirilenko, and Paul Millsap.
