Harlan showcased why he’s in a league of his own.
"There’s nothing quite like sitting on the couch on a cold December day, dozing off a bit and then abruptly becoming laser focused on the TV because of a Kevin Harlan call."
"We'll let the things happen the way they're supposed to happen. Sometimes I think in this business, if you try to manufacture too much, it ends up backfiring."
"That will give you something to sing about."
"BIG KHALEN RUMBLIN'!"
"How in the world did he keep it together and then find the open receiver?"
Harlan discussed the viral moment that caught him by surprise, offering insights into his spontaneous commentary.
"Back to Minneapolis. Alright, Nate, thank you..."
"He broke his ankles!"
"They've been the backdrop, they've been the soundtrack to our basketball lives, even before we were actually in the NBA."

"We just saw a man fly!"
"Well, that took a lot of time for much ado about nothing."
"I hope in some form or fashion that I continue with Turner, and if not with Turner, we'll let the fates guide me I guess."
It's hard to imagine the NBA without hearing Harlan's voice, and it all started in Minnesota.
"Murray, good if it goes... GOT IT! GOT IT! GOT IT!"
"I hope no one ever feels like it’s manufactured."
“That’s exactly what I want to hear."
