Chick Hearn is easily the cream of the crop. I don't know how he never went national. Marv Albert is the only other announcer who can even be mentioned in the same sentence as Chick, but he's clearly a step or two below. One of the cool things about moving to LA was getting to watch his play by play for the last three years of his career. I remember a game against the Spurs in '02 or so where he was really sick to the point of barely being able to talk, and he still went out there and called the first half. He is missed by anyone who had the fortune to hear him call a game. He's easily the most unbiased, knowledgeable, and entertaining play by play man the game has ever seen.
