Fans of the Boston Celtics are slowly coming to terms with the looming retirement of Mike Gorman, iconic longtime Celtics broadcaster after word officially broke of his exiting the industry at the end of the 2023-24 NBA season to come. Gorman had previously hinted at retirement plans, and now that it’s official, the idea of Celtics games without his legendary voice is a jarring one.
The legendary play-by-play announcer’s storytelling abilities have become synonymous with Celtics basketball for fans of a certain age, like Johnny Most and Sean McDonough, who left a lasting mark on the sports broadcasting scene in the city.
To talk over Gorman’s final season on the call for Celtics games and more, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Beat” podcast linked up with NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg on a recent episode.
