MSG expresses past concern over Mike Breen's hiring due to Don Imus

MSG had initial reservations about hiring Mike Breen as the voice of the Knicks, citing his past work on the controversial Don Imus Show. Breen, who joined the Knicks in 1992, discussed these concerns during a recent interview on WFAN. His relationship with former MSG executive Mike McCarthy helped him secure the position despite uncertainties regarding the appropriateness of his past association. Breen has since developed a reputation as one of the NBA's top play-by-play announcers.
