What began as a short-term opportunity quickly became a long-standing relationship with the club.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, his role has evolved alongside the organisation, from early championship seasons, right through to the rebuilding years. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s an expectation in Sydney that we set the standard for the league,\u201d\u00a0<span data-markjs=\"true\">Stephens<\/span> said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fans want your best every game. And that applies to everyone from players, coaches and the court announcer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That expectation has driven how\u00a0<span data-markjs=\"true\">Stephens<\/span> approaches each season. While some calls have become familiar to Kings fans, he is constantly refining his work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach year I try to add a couple of new calls,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome things stay but keeping it fresh matters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Across 250 games,\u00a0<span data-markjs=\"true\">Stephens<\/span> has announced some of the club\u2019s most memorable moments and players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the most fun introductions has been Alex Toohey,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne number, two times, number 22 Alex Toohey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Growth of the game<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-markjs=\"true\">Stephens<\/span> has also seen first-hand the growth of basketball audiences in Sydney, with crowds becoming louder and more engaged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c250 is a big number, especially when you consider we only do home games,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biggest change has been the level of passion for the game. There are so many new faces in the crowd, along with people who\u2019ve been there from the start.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite announcing on some of the biggest stages in world basketball, including Olympic Games, FIBA World Cups and international events,\u00a0<span data-markjs=\"true\">Stephens<\/span> remains closely connected to Kings fans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All in all, 250 is just a number,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery single time I pop the mic, it\u2019s always brand new.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWhose ball? Kings Ball!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kings&#8217; Guard Tyler Robertson praised Stephens for the role he plays on game day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He brings the energy for us all from the run out to the end of the game and everything in between.&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our home crowd is awesome and that\u2019s a testament to the way E gets everyone in attendance involved after every big play.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The way he impacts the game is awesome behind the mic, but what goes unnoticed is the relationships and support he gives all of us players away from the game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hoops Capital Managing Director Matthew Denholm said <span data-markjs=\"true\">Stephens<\/span>\u2019 contribution is an important part of the Kings\u2019 identity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span data-markjs=\"true\">Eric<\/span> has called some of our biggest moments, including our back-to-back championship runs,\u201d Denholm said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe brings the same energy and professionalism every game. It wouldn\u2019t feel like a Kings summer without him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the milestone arrives,\u00a0<span data-markjs=\"true\">Stephens<\/span> is quick to shift the focus back to the people around him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNone of the opportunities I\u2019ve had would be possible without the Kings fans who gave me the chance to hone my craft,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you to the players, coaches, TSE, everyone at Hoops Capital, and especially my family for backing the journey every season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday night, it will be business as usual for the man on the mic, just with a few more memories behind him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sydneykings.com\/news\/the-voice-of-the-kings-eric-stephens-to-call-his-250th-game\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\nSee more https:\/\/theglobaltrack.com\/<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When\u00a0Eric Stephens steps behind the microphone tonight (Thursday 29 Jan), it will mark his 250th game with the Sydney Kings.
