Page "Marv Albert" Paragraph 7

Albert continues to be the lead play-by-play announcer for National Basketball Association games on TNT, a position he assumed in 1999.

Indeed, TNT has become his primary commitment ever since his longtime employer NBC lost the NBA broadcasting rights in 2002, and may have played a role in his departure from the Knicks ' broadcast booth.

The Knicks reportedly wanted Albert to accept a salary commensurate with his reduced Knicks schedule, but also weren't happy about Albert making what Knicks management felt were overly critical comments about their team in spite of their losing record.
