22. The G-Man

Thinking about a career in sports broadcasting? Meet the G-Man Gary Gerould, radio play-by-play voice of the NBA’s Sacramento Kings for 36 years, who at the age of 80 is one of the NBA's longest tenured announcers. The G-Man got his start in broadcasting at the age of 14 at a local radio station in a small town in Michigan. Learn about his long broadcasting career and how the sports broadcasting world adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic. Then visit Michigan to learn a few surprising facts about wolverines. When people think of Michigan, they think of automobiles. But did you know that Michigan has 11,000 lakes, 3000 miles of freshwater shoreline, and the first city in the U.S. to have phone numbers?
