Portland Trail Blazers play-by-play announcer Kevin Calabro announced that he was stepping down from his role with the team on Wednesday. Calabro joined the Blazers ahead of the 2016-17 season along with former Oregon State guard Lamar Hurd. As the news of Calabro’s departure came out, Hurd posted a touching tribute to his former TV partner on Twitter:
November 15, 2016 comes to mind when reflecting on @KevinCalabro. The Chicago Bulls were making their visit to Portland, with Kevin & I less than a month into our first season together.
