The 2025 NBA Finals tip-off tonight with the Indiana Pacers versus the Oklahoma City Thunder, so we look back at when Mike Breen, the voice of the NBA Finals, hit South Beach Sessions with a BANG. Originally recorded on June 6, 2023, and now, broadcasting his 20th NBA Finals, he will be more than comfortable calling the games, but sitting down with Dan to talk openly about HIMSELF? That's history in itself too. Mike shares with Dan how he still feels like the shy kid who is simply a fan of the game, and the love he has for his broadcast brothers, Jeff Van Gundy & Mark Jackson, even when they won't say it back. Mike also talks about how from the devastating ashes of his family's home, deep gratitude rose. Watch the 2025 NBA Finals as the Indiana Pacers battle the Oklahoma City Thunder LIVE on ABC.

Kennt ihr auch diesen einen Freund, der morgens einfach so ruckzuck aus dem Bett und danach aus dem Grinsen gar nicht mehr rauskommt? Der sogar noch vor dem ersten Kaffee unverschämt gut gelaunt ist und mit der Morgensonne um die Wette strahlt? Furchtbar. Ekelhaft. Wie kann man nur so...
Ausgeruht sein? Ganz einfach. Trainiere deinen Schlaf und werde auch du zum Morgenmenschen. Mit der Galaxy Watch 7 oder dem Galaxy Ring und der Samsung Health App.

Welcome to another South Beach Session. I really am thrilled that we have a legend here who's going to push off being a legend because he's got to be humble about things. But he really is a unicorn because one part of this is super, super unique, which is his peers will not have a bad word to say about him. Anyone who has worked with him. So that's one kind of hard to achieve.
But in today's America. Social Media doesn't have anything bad to say about this man. Joe Buck is pretty good at his craft. Joe Buck is somehow polarizing, even though he's a craftsman just like this man is a craftsman. But I thank you for being here, Mike Breen, for a couple of different reasons. Your work has been exceptional over 18 finals, for 30 years broadcasting games.
But I also respect you because everyone I talk to says you are a fundamentally decent person, which can in this business soaked with ego be something that you don't find very much of. So thank you for being the way you are. First of all, I don't know that people know you. You probably purposely. I want to be off to the side of the stage in the shadows.
I don't want to be the story, but you have done your job exceptionally well for a long time and I've been a big admirer for a long time.
