Summary

The biggest moments, the excitement and heartbreak... when the players make it happen, the announcers make us feel like we’re there. "Best of South Beach Sessions: The Voices of the NBA" features the legendary broadcasters and analysts of the NBA sharing how the love of the game has led each of them to dream careers and lifetime friendships. Michael Wilbon, of ESPN and "Pardon The Interruption", never expected to be a pioneer in sports television and he lets Dan know damn well why. Ernie Johnson, beloved host of TNT's "Inside the NBA" expresses why the greatest gift for him has been the love that Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Shaquille O'Neal all have for each other: "This is as close as I’ll ever come to having brothers. And that’s what they are to me." Mike Breen, the lead voice for the NBA on ESPN and ABC, shares how in the pursuit of perfectionism, the biggest mistake you can make is to be too afraid to make any. Rachel Nichols, longtime NBA reporter and host of "Headliners" and "Bully Ball with Rachel Nichols & Demarcus Cousins", recalls meeting Dan when they were both coming up in their careers and puts it all in perspective how far they’ve come.
