Knicks radio voice Tyler Murray delivered as the clock ran out and the Knicks clinched their first NBA championship in 53 years.
As the clock ran out in Game 5 and the Knicks sealed the 94-90 win for their third championship in franchise history, Murray gave a rousing radio call.
“It’s happening, Knicks fans! It’s happening! It’s been 53 years, but for this moment, it was well worth the wait. A playoff run that will go down in history and a team that will live forever. Next stop, the Canyon of Heroes! The New York Knicks are NBA champions!”
Murray became the radio voice of the Knicks last season after spending two years with the Worcester Red Sox, the Triple-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. He became the 13th former full-time PawSox/WooSox broadcaster currently working in MLB, the NFL and the NBA.
Before his time in Worcester, Murray was the lead broadcaster for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, the Double-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, for six years. He began his broadcasting career with the Daytona Cubs in 2012 after graduating from Boston University in 2011.
In just his second season in the Knicks booth, Murray called an incredible run to the championship that captivated the city. After being hired by MSG Networks, Murray shared his emotions surrounding his new role.
“I’ve dreamed of calling Knicks games for as long as I can remember, so my family and I couldn’t be more excited,” Murray said.
“It’s an honor to join MSG Networks, and to represent everyone who has lifted me up along the way.”
His fulfilled dream just got that much sweeter with a championship call. The Knicks will make their next stop at the Canyon of Heroes for their championship parade Thursday.
