The Boston Celtics will bid farewell to a legend at the end of the 2023-23 NBA season.
Mike Gorman will call it a career after serving as the play-by-play voice of the Celtics for 42 seasons. He and color commentator Tommy Heinsohn were broadcast partners for 39 years, from 1981 until Heinsohn's passing in November 2020.
In 2021, Gorman was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. The 77-year-old also earned the Curt Gowdy Award that year.
To celebrate Gorman's illustrious career, we assembled some of his greatest highlights. Check them out below.
