Sydney Kings game announcer Eric Stephens has become one of the most recognisable voices in basketball, calling some of the sport's biggest moments both in Australia and on the international stage. In this episode of More Than A Game, Eric shares his journey into sports announcing and the lessons basketball has taught him. Dan and Eric explore the often unseen world of preparation, what game day looks like behind the microphone, handling pressure in high-stakes moments, and why the best announcers elevate the game without becoming the focus. Beyond basketball, Eric also reflects on the values, relationships, and passions that continue to shape his life and career.
