BEHIND THE SCENES WITH TRAIL BLAZERS TELEVISION PLAY-BY-PLAY
KEVIN CALABRO DO YOU HAVE ANY RITUALS OR SUPERSTITIONS ON A GAME DAY?
HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A TRAIL BLAZERS HOME GAME?
Our ritual involves a noon conference call with our producer. We probably have 12 people on the 10-minute call. Everybody weighs in with story ideas. Our producer will lay out our pregame and broadcast open, so we’re all on the same page when we get to the arena. I prepare a chart usually the night before the game with relevant stats etc. I like to get a walk or swim in around 1pm. Then a 45-minute nap. That works wonders.
We have all types of notes and numbers coming our way from our producer and his team. I like to tape the games of our next opponent then watch in the morning.
18
HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A TRAIL BLAZERS ROAD TRIP? Pack for the games, workouts and relaxing. I’ve only had to borrow black socks once from Coach
TRAIL BLAZERS GAME PROGRAM • BROADCASTER FEATURE
Jim Moran. One other time I had to buy striped socks in the hotel gift shop in Atlanta for $30. For that price I wore them three times on the trip. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ARENA IN THE NBA? (BESIDES THE MODA CENTER, OF COURSE) I like the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indy. My hometown. Usually my brothers Ron or Dave bring their families and my Mom and Dad to my one time in town. It’s special to me. ARE THERE ANY PLACES ON THE ROAD THAT YOU FREQUENT? RESTAURANTS, QUIRKY SHOPS, ETC? I like any town that has a great place to walk. I’ll go for hours and walk 10 or 12 miles. NYC or Venice Beach L.A. are my favorites. WHEN DID YOU KNOW YOU WANTED TO GET INTO BROADCASTING? WAS THE NBA ALWAYS THE GOAL? I was always glued to the radio listening to Top 40 stations or baseball broadcasts. Usually the old-time greats like Harry Cary, Jack Buck, Bob
Prince and Dan Kelly. Our high school station had a 400-watt FM station, so we could take a class and actually go on radio. That’s where I did my first play by play. WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU FEEL YOU’VE IMPROVED ON SINCE JOINING THE TRAIL BLAZERS BROADCAST TEAM? I’m always trying to improve in some way on or off the air. We should always strive to improve our lives and those around us. It’s sometimes a tedious process. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO GET INTO SPORTS BROADCASTING? Read anything and everything. Write. If it’s play-by-play you want to do, sit in the bleachers at a high school game and talk into your phone recorder. Play it back. Repeat that process 10,000 times. You’ll get the hang of it. ◆

TRAIL BLAZERS GAME PROGRAM • BLAZERDANCER FEATURE
KAILA YEARS AS A BLAZERDANCER: 2
WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO DANCE?
WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?
Dance can connect so many people, cultures, and languages. Dance is universal. There may be different styles and techniques, but when you watch someone perform you can feel it from within and there is always something new to learn!
- Hiking is one of my favorite activities. There are so many beautiful places around the world to explore. Hiking on vacations is always a must!
WHAT ARE SOME LITTLE-KNOWN FACTS ABOUT YOURSELF YOU WANT OTHERS TO KNOW? - I lived in Hawaii! Over the course of two years, I lived on three of the islands. While there I loved exploring, eating as much sushi as possible, and teaching preschool. - I have a passion for writing and have had two poems published. - I love doing handstands and will do one just about anywhere… on a beach, a mountain, or even in the middle of practice. WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE AS A BLAZERDANCER?
- I love to paint! I may not be the most talented, but it sure is fun to take a blank canvas and try to create something beautiful. - Saturdays at Autzen Stadium! As a University of Oregon Alum, it doesn’t get much better than a sunny afternoon spent at the football field! That is unless you can spend the evening at the Moda Center with the best team in the NBA…. Can we squeeze in both on a Saturday?! IF YOU COULD GIVE ADVICE TO ASPIRING YOUNG DANCERS, WHAT WOULD YOU TELL THEM? Be confident in your talents, your training, and what makes you, YOU! Every dancer brings something different, so always let your personality and passion shine!
Volunteering at the Blazers Boys and Girls Club! There has always been a special place in my heart for working with children, so it is such a blast when we come to lead a dance class with them. They are always so sweet and full of laughter. We come to teach, but I always leave with a few new moves from them!
