Jeff Van Gundy roasted himself appropriately while calling Wednesday’s play-in game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors.
During the first quarter of the game, Van Gundy congratulated play-by-play announcer Mike Breen on making the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Breen graciously accepted the congratulations and then told analysts Van Gundy and Mark Jackson, his teammates, that he couldn’t have done it without them.
Jackson and Van Gundy both dismissed that remark, with Van Gundy making a funny comparison.
He’s right. Breen getting in had very little to do with Van Gundy or Jackson. But it’s still nice of Breen to thank them.
As for Van Gundy, he is known for some of his unexpectedly humorous comments on the air.
