On Wednesday night as the Spurs faced the Los Angeles Clippers, the telecast trio of Bill Land, Sean Elliott, and Michelle Beadle took a few moments to discuss Land’s recent cancer diagnosis.
The seventy-two-year-old announcer (his birthday was on Thanksgiving) has been with the Spurs for over two decades. His voice is synonymous with play-by-play as he and Spurs legend Sean Elliott have called games from the Big 3 dynasty, through the post-retirement decline, and into the rebuild mounting with this season’s #1 draft pick.
Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News posted a piece about Land’s announcement.
