Todd Graffagnini proudly notes that excluding one year of college and a few months post-Katrina, he’s lived his entire life in the city of New Orleans. The graduate of Jesuit High and Loyola University went on to broadcast games at Tulane University for 20-plus years, before becoming the Pelicans’ new radio play-by-play announcer this summer, replacing Sean Kelley (ESPN Radio).
A husband and the father of two young children, Graffagnini sat down this week with Pelicans.com to give his perspective on accepting a coveted position as an NBA play-by-play man.
