    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">It's an honor and privilege to be an NBA broadcaster. It's a love and passion. Not a job. Never has been and never will be. In my ninth year with the Toronto Raptors I am fulfilling a dream that started when I was a seven years old. I wanted to be an NBA play-by-play announcer. I grew up in Bellevue , Washington and at night I would listen on a transistor radio to Bill King call San Francisco/Golden State Warriors games ... Am I dating myself? That's right. No Internet. No walkman or MP3 downloads. A good old fashion transistor radio. That booming 50-thousand watt KGO signal made its way up to the Pacific Northwest easily. Nate Thurmond, Clyde Lee, Al Attles, Rick Barry were some of the stars.</div>
