Blazer's Edge

On this week's episode of the Blazer's Edge podcast, Tara Bowen-Biggs and Danny Marang are joined by former Trail Blazer's radio play-by-play voice, Brian "Wheels" Wheeler! Together they run down some great stories like, the time Stevie Wonder attended a Blazer's game and told Wheels how much he loved how he called the game, or when Chick Hearn said he'd give him pointers on his demo reel and vouched for him at job interviews, or the time the Golden State Warrior's PR team asked Wheels to apologize (in writing) to then coach Mark Jackson for saying saying on the broadcast that upset him (in a game the Warriors blew a huge lead in), and his thoughts on calling Michael Jordan's games in light of "The Last Dance" premiere. Fantastic stories, the genesis of how he got into play-by-play, potential nicknames for players (including Gary Trent Jr) and more on this week's episode!!
