About this listen

 In this can't-miss episode of Hoopsology, we sit down with the legendary Michael Baiamonte, the iconic public address announcer for the Miami Heat. With over 35 years behind the mic, Michael shares powerful stories from the heart of Heat culture — from announcing Dwyane Wade’s emotional statue unveiling to introducing the Big Three (LeBron, Wade, Bosh) during Miami’s championship era. We dive into the behind-the-scenes art of announcing NBA games, including how he handles tough name pronunciations (yes, Giannis and Wembanyama), the human toll of NBA trades, and why AI will never replace the power of a live voice in sports arenas. 🎤 Topics Covered: Dwyane Wade’s legacy & statue unveiling What it was like announcing the Big Three Handling name pronunciation nightmares Thoughts on AI taking over sports jobs How announcers shape the NBA fan experience Podcast Person?
