San Antonio, Texas – After 21-years as the play-by-play announcer for the Seattle SuperSonics, Kevin Calabro worked his last game for the franchise on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs.

Maybe.

Calabro said he will not work Sunday’s Sonics game in Seattle against Dallas because he already committed to do the San Antonio at Los Angeles Lakers game for ESPN radio. Calabro works five to six games for ESPN radio during the season, and he also usually works several playoff games if Seattle doesn’t make the playoffs.

And Seattle’s final regular-season game at Golden State is supposed to be broadcast by ESPN, although the network dropped the game Friday, leaving the game available for Fox Sports Northwest if the network wants to pick it up.

Calabro says his contract is up in October, and he does not intend to move with the Sonics should they relocate to Oklahoma City for next season.

“If this is it, I wanted to thank the fans because you don’t do this for 21 years if the fans aren’t in your corner and don’t like what you’re doing and don’t appreciate you as a person,” Calabro said. “I know there’s a lot of people out there that feel like they’re friends of mine, but we’ve never met. That’s kind of the special nature of what we do. So I wanted to make sure if this was it, to let them know I appreciate them welcoming us into this community and being a part of it for 21 years.”

In an organization that has gone through three ownership groups, eight coaches and hundreds of players over the past 20 years, Calabro has been the one constant for the Sonics, and is considered one of the best in the business at what he does.

“It’s the one out-front presence that’s hasn’t changed,” Calabro said. “And I’ve always realized that and appreciate that, and knew that I’ve got to bring a little more to every game because I know people are depending on you.”

Calabro said he never considered relocating with the team to Oklahoma City.

“This issue has been difficult for everybody, and me too because obviously I’m paid a good wage to do what I do,” Calabro said. “So I’ve tried to stay out of the issue as much as I can, but obviously my preference is to stay in Seattle. Actions speak louder than words. I’ve got 21 years of equity in the 14th largest market, so my feeling is I should be able to cobble together a living there.

“I also love the NBA, and I want to continue to work in the NBA. It just won’t be in Oklahoma City.”

Calabro said if the Sonics do move next season he’ll go through a cooling period before deciding his next move. However, Calabro’s betting he hasn’t worked his last Sonics game.

“I’m just thinking that this will not be the last game,” Calabro said. “Everybody is making it out to be, but I’m approaching this as it will not be the last game. But I’m letting the fans know that if this is it, I appreciated it.”
