Alongside broadcast honoree Jim Durham, the Chicago Bulls’ longtime radio play-by-play voice, I’ve been recognized by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame with its 2011 Curt Gowdy Media Award for lifetime contributions to the game as a print journalist. The presentation will take place over Enshrinement Weekend, August 11 and 12, in Springfield, Mass. To join such friends and colleagues as Jackie MacMullan, Jim O’Connell, Dave Kindred, Jack McCallum, Bob Ryan, Curry Kirkpatrick, and Malcolm Moran is a thrill and an honor.
