Before the NBA suspended its season in March because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Knicks were set to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their 1970 championship. But Albert, the team’s longtime radio voice who had a legendary call for the final, did not make the guest list. “I expected it,” Albert told the New York Times’ Marc Stein for his weekly newsletter. “[Knicks owner James] Dolan and I disagreed, let’s say, on the philosophy of broadcasting.” Albert lost his job in 2004 after a dispute with Dolan, who reportedly believed Albert was too critical of the team. The 78-year-old remains an iconic voice and the lead play-by-play man for TNT’s NBA coverage.
