1997-98 NBA Season
As originally posted by Tony Miller:
Change highlighted the NBA on NBC in 1997-1998. Marv Albert, the voice of seven consecutive finals, was fired Sept. 25 after pleading guilty to misdemeanor assault and battery. His broadcast partner, Matt Guokas, joined FSN Ohio and was demoted to the Peacock’s No. 3 crew along with Mike Breen. No. 2 announcer Greg Gumbel left the network in January, following AFC football rights to CBS.
Reassembling existing talent, No. 3 play-by-play man Tom Hammond moved up to No. 2; he was joined by Gumbel’s analysts, Steve Jones and Bill Walton. NBC stalwart Bob Costas replaced Albert; his analyst for the playoffs was Isiah Thomas, with Pistons coach Doug Collins joining them after he was axed on Groundhog Day.
The Washington Bullets renamed themselves the Wizards as they moved from the Capital Centre to the MCI Center at the beginning of December -- the new arena's first game was the Dec. 2 telecast. The Warriors returned to Oakland after a one-year renovation sojourn to San Jose, and the Hawks moved into the Georgia Dome so that the Omni could be torn down and replaced with Philips Arena.
Because of other conflicts at the Georgia Dome, the Hawks played about a third of their home games at Georgia Tech’s Alexander Memorial Coliseum. All three national-TV games from Atlanta were played in the Dome.
