CLEVELAND, Ohio – When LeBron James guards Kevin Durant, TNT play-by-play man and NBA broadcasting staple Marv Albert says it reminds him of Michael Jordan locking up with the opposing team's best scorer during the Bulls' halcyon days.
Albert may or may not be headed for memory lane Thursday night when he calls the Cavs-Thunder game, set for 8 p.m. at The Q.
"They're two of the greatest players in the game," Albert told Cleveland.com. Joining him on the TNT broadcast will be former Cavs coach Mike Fratello.
"I always get a kick out of LeBron, he's so good defensively when he digs in, and you know at times he will match up with Kevin Durant," said Albert, who was the voice for the NBA on NBC when Jordan's Bulls were piling up titles.
