By Ponciano Melo – A job that started in 1963, broadcaster Marv Albert will call it a career after the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Albert has been one of the greatest sports commentators ever, and he will leave memorable lines as he bid goodbye to commentate the NBA after 55 years.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has high respect for Albert as he put it, \”there is no voice more closely associated with NBA basketball.\”

He called 13 times in the NBA Finals and even the 1992 USA Olympic Dream Team. He also voices in 25 NBA All-Star games.

Albert is one of the pillars in NBA broadcasting, along with his emphatic and trademark \”yes!\”

Here are some of his most significant lines that we will surely miss.

\”Yes! And a foul!\”

\”Yes! Serving up a facial!\”

\”Not bad for a guy with flu symptoms.\” – during the 1997 NBA Finals Game 5. Michael Jordan flu game against the Utah Jazz.

\”Spectacular move by Michael Jordan!\”

\”What a move!\”

These are just some, but clearly, most of us will remember how he calls the game a true icon.

Betting you read those lines using Marv Albert\’s voice and tone.

Leon Edwards settles doubt after denying Kamaru Usman again

It was not luck nor a fluke. Leon Edwards proved once again that he is better than Kamaru Usman after winning their rematch in the main event of UFC 286.

Edwards successfully defended the UFC welterweight belt he stole from Usman back in August with a majority decision victory in front of his home crowd at the O2 Arena in London, England.

He connected 120 significant strikes compared to only 87 from Usman while also limiting the latter’s takedown attempts.

“I knew it was a close fight and I knew he would come out [hard] in the last round. He was keeping good pressure on but not much was happening,” Edwards said after the fight.

Shortly after winning, UFC revealed that he will next make a title defense against Colby Covington in a to be determined date and venue

Lonzo Ball to potentially miss second straight NBA season due to third knee surgery

Lonzo Ball is on a tough road returning to the NBA after confirming another necessary surgery on his left knee.

The 25-year old Chicago guard has not played since January 14, 2022 due to his knee injury and now he will undergo a knife for the third time in the same knee.

He expressed frustration but clings on to a full recovery.

“My main focus has been on returning to the court and getting to a place where I can rejoin my teammates. This has been a frustrating process, but I’m confident these next steps are the best path forward,” he said in a statement.

This reminds many of Derrick Rose’s injury-ridden career with the Bulls. However, Ball, just like Rose, continues to persevere to overcome the setback.

“The support of my family, friends, fans and medical staff throughout my recovery is what keeps me moving forward. I can’t wait to get back to what I love doing most – playing basketball.”

NBA further suspends Ja Morant for eight games after conducting own investigation

While Ja Morant is continuously being away from the Memphis Grizzlies after his gun showing incident, the NBA has already decided on what his punishment will be.

Morant has been suspended for eight games without pay that will cost around $669,000 of his salary, this started when he stepped away from the game to reevaluate himself.

He has already served six games and will continue to be ineligible for the next two games. However, despite these suspensions, Morant’s return seemingly remains indefinite.

“Ja’s conduct was irresponsible, reckless and potentially very dangerous. It also has serious consequences given his enormous following and influence, particularly among young fans who look up to him,” said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver in the league’s statement.
