‘Joy and wonder.’ Hornets announcer Eric Collins on LaMelo, Dell and his unique style

Eric Collins does play-by-play for the Charlotte Hornets’ television broadcasts, and he’s excited about it.

Collins, in fact, gets excited about a lot of things. His gee-whiz, isn’t-this-fun enthusiasm is catchy, especially when the Hornets are playing well. Just ask a Charlotte fan who watches games all the time from the West Coast.

“I don’t know if Eric has ever had a mediocre, just chill play call,” Steph Curry said. “He’s always just hyped. I absolutely love it.”

In his sixth season paired with Curry’s dad, Dell Curry, on Charlotte’s TV broadcast, Collins said he likes to bring a sense of “joy and wonder” to every Hornets telecast.
