In 1984, Len Elmore retired from the New York Knicks following a 10-year career as a professional basketball player. From there, he went to Harvard Law School and then a diverse career as a lawyer. Throughout it, he also served as a college basketball announcer -- including over 20 years behind the microphone, for CBS Sports, for the NCAA Tournament.
Len was at the announcer’s table for what is widely-considered the greatest college basketball game of all time.
I interviewed Len, for the ABA Journal, on his remarkable and varied career. And about that famous college basketball game, he broke the contest down -- in a way that only a lawyer could.
I hope you can check it out:
