New York City, New York - Marv Albert of Turner Sports has announced his retirement from broadcasting, to take place after the NBA's Eastern Conference playoffs wrap up next month.

The games just won't be the same once Marv Albert (79) steps away from his microphone for the last time in June.

His emphatic "YES!" calls have been his catchphrase for decades and became a staple of his NBA coverage.

Albert has been calling NBA games for TNT for the last 19 years. Before that, he was also the play-by-play man for NBC's coverage of the NBA. He's most remembered for his work in basketball, though his resume includes baseball, hockey, tennis, and boxing. He has notably covered eight Stanley Cup Finals, eight Super Bowls, 13 NBA Finals, and 25 NBA All-Star games.

In a personal statement, Albert revealed: "Now, I'll have the opportunity to hone my gardening skills and work on my ballroom dancing."
