On March 12, 2020, after a player in the NBA tested positive for COVID-19, the league suspended operations. The Denver Nuggets were playing the Dallas Mavericks on ESPN that night and were live when the historical announcement was made, changing the entire sports landscape. Ryan Ruocco and Doris Burke were calling that game. Ruocco is a play-by-play announcer for ESPN and the YES Network calling NBA, WNBA, Brooklyn Nets, and New York Yankees. He goes back with Seth for over a decade from their days at 1050am ESPN New York together. Follow Ryan on Twitter @RyanRuocco
