Kevin Harlan is one of the best play-by-play announcers in all of sports right now, especially since the great Doc Emrick retired a few months ago.
And like a lot of announcers and regular humans like us, 2020 is making Harlan’s job a little more difficult. Because just like us, he’s working from home, calling games live from his basement.
Feels familiar, right?
Harlan was calling Tuesday night’s Golden State Warriors-Sacramento Kings game on TNT from his basement when his daughter snuck in and shot some video of her dad crushing the intro to the game.
I have to say… this is pretty impressive/wild:
This guy is impressive! 3rd game in 3 days on 3 networks, and the first broadcast from… the basement! Haha my family always revolves around sports and TV, but having him upstairs for dinner then go downstairs for tip off was a new one! @Kevinharlan pic.twitter.com/dYdUqMGJcL

What a pro.
That all has to be very weird for Harlan and his family and it has to be weird for any announcer who is calling games from home this year.
Hopefully things will be back to normal soon. Until then, you can find Harlan in his basement.
