When Hall of Fame Boston Celtics play-by-play announcer Mike Gorman started the gig that got him in the Hall, the Celtics had four fewer titles and Boston icon Larry Bird was still in his rookie season. 43 years later, Gorman is still going strong, but will be passing the mic to a new generation at the end of the Celtics’ 2023-24 campaign.

To talk about that chance encounter and the four-decades plus of calling Celtics games that followed it, the hosts of the “TODAY” show sat down with Gorman on a recent episode.
