In addition to the print piece, here's video of Curtis with Marv, including the inevitable impersonators.For basketball, a game of frequent scoring and constant improvisation, Albert has an unusually mellow groove. He never shrieks. When something extraordinary happens, his words become elongated and certain syllables explode: he’ll say, “Re-jec-ted!” or “With au-thor-ity!” Perhaps the most exhilarating play Albert called came in Game 2 of the 1991 N.B.A. finals, when Michael Jordan switched hands in midair on a reverse layup against the Lakers, and Albert crowed, “Oh, a spec-tac-ular move by Michael Jordan!” Resurrected on YouTube, it remains lodged in your brain not because it is breathless but because it’s a minimalist rendering that somehow manages to capture the pandemonium Jordan had unleashed. Seconds later, Albert remained silent while the Chicago crowd unglued itself from the ceiling."
