Caught a pretty cool moment before the Celtics-Knicks opener at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night: Hall of Fame announcer Mike Breen seeking out Hall of Fame announcer Mike Gorman to tell him how much respect and admiration he’s had for his legendary career.
This is the start of Gorman’s final season on the mic after 43 years as the voice of the Celtics.
Brought a tear to my eye. Love to see him getting respect. Gonna miss this guy 🥺

Two lost lovers
I love this with all my heart. It’s going to be a sad day when Gorman hangs up the mic.
Game recognizes game
Mike is the best
The sexual energy in the pic is unreal
“That’s a foul!” – Tommy
Nobody touches Gorman and gets away without the ghost of Tommy yelling at the refs about it.
now kiss
are those your game notes or are you just happy to see me?
Two of the best to ever do it
Love this. Didn’t know Breen was also in the Hall.
Crazy thing is that Tommy ISN’T in the hall as an announcer. I realize I’m a homer but Tommy did national games for a long time and is also the most famous local color man ever! Put that man in the Hall of Fame (for a third time)!
Between the Celtics & the old Big Monday Big East games w/ Billy Raftery, Gorman’s voice on the mic was basically the soundtrack of my life. God I’m gonna miss this guy.
If only Mike Rophone had been there so we could have heard their conversation
They should do a game together… Hell a playoff series
Wonderful photo that captures the emotion of the moment. Thanks for sharing this.
