RIP CITY TONIGHT’S QUOTE “It’s not really about firepower, it’s about how well we can make stuff happen collectively. It’s about the sum of our parts. We may be short a couple players, but we have to figure out how to get the most out of what we have. Once we get the most out of what we have, then we’ll see… is it enough?” -DAMIAN LILLARD ON THE POSTSEASON

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH TRAIL BLAZERS TELEVISION PLAY-BY-PLAY
KEVIN CALABRO DO YOU HAVE ANY RITUALS OR SUPERSTITIONS ON A GAME DAY?
HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A TRAIL BLAZERS HOME GAME?
Our ritual involves a noon conference call with our producer. We probably have 12 people on the 10-minute call. Everybody weighs in with story ideas. Our producer will lay out our pregame and broadcast open, so we’re all on the same page when we get to the arena. I prepare a chart usually the night before the game with relevant stats etc. I like to get a walk or swim in around 1pm. Then a 45-minute nap. That works wonders.
We have all types of notes and numbers coming our way from our producer and his team. I like to tape the games of our next opponent then watch in the morning.

HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A TRAIL BLAZERS ROAD TRIP? Pack for the games, workouts and relaxing. I’ve only had to borrow black socks once from Coach
TRAIL BLAZERS GAME PROGRAM • BROADCASTER FEATURE
Jim Moran. One other time I had to buy striped socks in the hotel gift shop in Atlanta for $30. For that price I wore them three times on the trip. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ARENA IN THE NBA? (BESIDES THE MODA CENTER, OF COURSE) I like the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indy. My hometown. Usually my brothers Ron or Dave bring their families and my Mom and Dad to my one time in town. It’s special to me. ARE THERE ANY PLACES ON THE ROAD THAT YOU FREQUENT? RESTAURANTS, QUIRKY SHOPS, ETC? I like any town that has a great place to walk. I’ll go for hours and walk 10 or 12 miles. NYC or Venice Beach L.A. are my favorites. WHEN DID YOU KNOW YOU WANTED TO GET INTO BROADCASTING? WAS THE NBA ALWAYS THE GOAL? I was always glued to the radio listening to Top 40 stations or baseball broadcasts. Usually the old-time greats like Harry Cary, Jack Buck, Bob
Prince and Dan Kelly. Our high school station had a 400-watt FM station, so we could take a class and actually go on radio. That’s where I did my first play by play. WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU FEEL YOU’VE IMPROVED ON SINCE JOINING THE TRAIL BLAZERS BROADCAST TEAM? I’m always trying to improve in some way on or off the air. We should always strive to improve our lives and those around us. It’s sometimes a tedious process. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO GET INTO SPORTS BROADCASTING? Read anything and everything. Write. If it’s play-by-play you want to do, sit in the bleachers at a high school game and talk into your phone recorder. Play it back. Repeat that process 10,000 times. You’ll get the hang of it. ◆
