Chris Carrino, Radio Voice of the Brooklyn Nets, Win Curt Gowdy Media Award from the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame

 


Chris Carrino has served as the Brooklyn Nets’ radio play-by-play announcer since 2002, having joined the organization in 1992 as a studio producer and feature reporter. He steadily worked his way up to studio host, backup play-by-play announcer, and ultimately the team’s lead radio voice.

It is an amazing accomplishment since Chris is suffering from facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, or FSHD, a genetic disease that has weakened his muscles and for which there is no cure.  Chris's journey is discussed in detail in an article in The Athletic written by Andrew Marchand.
