Who: The Most Undervalued Play by Play Guy in the business.Where/When: Everywhere. Johnson typically does a scrub CBS football game every week, I always hope he's doing the Jet game. March Madness on CBS. Knick Games mostly on the radio but occasionally on MSG when Breen has a day off.
Why: If you haven't listened to the exuberant Johnson broadcast a game you are missing out big time. He brings a fantastic voice, unparalleled excitement, and a direct approach towards the game.
Best Event: Gus Johnson announcing in March Madness is where he is at his finest. Sure March Madness in general is the most exciting sports event in this country, but the passion Johnson brings to it and his calls in the final moments of games are classic.
Sum Up: If a man can make the Knicks watchable/listenable then he is fantastic at what he does. Right now if I was given the ultimatum to choose one single person to be play by play announcer for every sporting event I watched, my choice would be Gus Johnson no questions asked.
