BUCKiT® #61-Jim Nantz | Part 2: The Voice of Sports on Calling the Masters, the Super Bowl and March Madness

This is part 2 of my interview with the voice of sports, Jim Nantz, a voice virtually all sporting fans in America recognize. Jim is a five-time National Sportscaster of the Year and three-time Emmy Award winner. He’s the youngest broadcaster ever recognized by both the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Since the 1980’s, Jim has been calling The Masters, the Super Bowl, and NCAA’s March Madness successfully combining his passion for sport with his distinctive soothing voice, to become arguably one of the best commentators in the business. I caught up with Jim in the BUCKiT studio and felt privileged to get a first hand account of some of the greatest moments in sports history. Jim Recalls the game changing moment in the Final Four College Basketball Championship between Villanova and North Carolina, the excitement of calling the Super Bowl alongside former Dallas Cowboy’s Quarterback, Tony Romo, and many more stories from the hottest seat in the house- the announcers booth.
