Mike Breen’s Call of LeBron’s Wild Game-Winner Generates Controversy: TRAINA THOUGHTS

1. Mike Breen just went into the Hall of Fame, but that does not exempt him from “criticism.”

When LeBron James drained his insane game-winning 3-pointer against the Warriors in Wednesday night’s play-in game, something was missing.

As the King did his thing, fans quickly noticed that Mike Breen did not use his trademark “BANG!” call for the long triple.

“James, puts up the three, OH, IT’S GOOD. LEBRON JAMES FROM DOWNTOWN!” shouted Breen.

But there was no BANG. Zero BANG.

Shock. Disappointment. Anger. These were the emotions expressed by NBA fans who took to Twitter to vent about the BANGless call.
