The NBA season is underway, but fans still have a long way to go until they can get hyped for playoff basketball. For now, with over half the games left in the schedule, it’s a good time to find a favorite voice to accompany the rest of the season viewing. Between NBA on TNT and NBA on ESPN and ABC, there are plenty of play-by-play announcers, analysts and reporters to follow alongside the stars of the league. And unlike the NFL broadcast schedule, which went through quite the wave of shuffling around before the start of the season, many of the network personalities in the NBA are a familiar sight (or sound, shall we say?) for fans.

Here is the list of names appearing on different national broadcasts this season, from trailblazing legends like Doris Burke to former stars of the court like Reggie Miller.
