Mike Breen has long been one of the best announcers in sports but even the best sometimes make silly little mistakes.
That happened to Breen during Sunday’s Celtics-Knicks game at Madison Square Garden when he had a little slip when he called Boston’s big man, Tacko Fall, Taco Bell.
Breen, who on Friday night was presented the Curt Gowdy Award at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame’s 2020 class of inductees, had a great reaction to his mistake. So did his partner on the broadcast, former Knicks great Walt Frazier.
The two longtime announcers played this off pretty darn well:
Tacko Fall shall hence forth be known as Taco Bell, thank you for this Mike Breen 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/Z858JgheIc

Mike Breen just called Tacko Fall "Taco Bell" on the Knicks TV broadcast.
Breen: "Did I just say Taco Bell? Oh my goodness."
Frazier: "You must be hungry, bro."
Then Breen sent the broadcast into commercial break by adding, "I'm going to get something to eat."
