Nice read on the Athletic. It was the first game Bill McDonald ever called for the Lakers, and sat next to Stu which he was honored to do because he was a life long Lakers fan and revered Chick. He had been doing pre and post game Lakers shows but his broadcasting assignments and sports were all over the map. Joel Myers was assigned to work the NFC Championship game between Carolina and Seattle and Billy got the call. Wasn’t until 5 years later he became full time. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/69...-lakers-broadcast/?source=user_shared_article
