Editing Marv Albert (section)

====TNT====
Albert continued to be the lead [[play-by-play]] announcer for NBA games on [[NBA on TNT|TNT]], a position he assumed in [[1999–2000 NBA season|1999]].<ref name=":0" /> Indeed, [[TNT Sports (United States)|TNT]] had become his primary commitment ever since his longtime employer NBC lost the NBA broadcasting rights in [[2001–02 NBA season|2002]] to [[NBA on ABC|ABC]] and [[NBA on ESPN|ESPN]], which may have played a role in his departure from the Knicks' broadcast booth.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Pickman|first=Ben|title=Report: Marv Albert Won't Call NBA Games On-Site in Restart|url=https://www.si.com/media/2020/06/30/marv-albert-tnt-coverage-nba-restart|access-date=2020-07-30|magazine=Sports Illustrated|date=June 30, 2020 |language=en-us}}</ref> The Knicks reportedly wanted Albert to accept a salary commensurate with his reduced Knicks schedule but also weren't happy about Albert making what Knicks management felt were overly critical comments about their team despite their losing record.

In basketball, his most famous call is his simple "Yes!" for a basket, rendered in many variations of volume and length depending on the situation.

On April 17, 2002, shortly after calling a game between the [[2001–02 Indiana Pacers season|Indiana Pacers]] and [[2001–02 Philadelphia 76ers season|Philadelphia 76ers]] on TNT, both Albert and color commentator [[Mike Fratello]] were injured in a limo accident in [[Trenton, New Jersey]]. Albert sustained facial [[lacerations]], a [[concussion]], and a [[sprained ankle]]. The [[2002 NBA Playoffs]] was set to begin two days later, with Albert scheduled to call multiple games that week. [[Bob Costas]] filled in for those games, and Albert returned to call Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals between the [[2001–02 Dallas Mavericks season|Dallas Mavericks]] and [[2001–02 Sacramento Kings season|Sacramento Kings]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2002-04-19 |title=PRO BASKETBALL; Albert and Fratello Are Hurt In Early-Morning Car Crash (Published 2002) |work=The New York Times |language=en |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/19/sports/pro-basketball-albert-and-fratello-are-hurt-in-early-morning-car-crash.html |access-date=2023-08-19}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Stewart |first=Larry |date=2002-04-19 |title=A Bad Ride for Albert, Fratello |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-apr-19-sp-tvcol19-story.html |access-date=2023-08-19 |website=[[Los Angeles Times]] |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Stewart |first=Larry |date=2002-05-03 |title=Walkin' and Rollin' to the Mike |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-may-03-sp-tvcol03-story.html |access-date=2023-08-19 |website=[[Los Angeles Times]] |language=en-US}}</ref>
