Matt Guokas is at the microphone again, this time alongside Marv Albert instead of Matt Guokas Sr.

On Monday, Guokas announced that he had left his position in the Orlando Magic front office to become NBC's color commentator on NBA games.Like father, like son.

"I was sitting at his side in the broadcast booth, keeping statistics, as early as age 6, I guess," Guokas said. "A lot of kids grow up wanting to be like their dad. This is no exception."

He'll make his debut on Christmas night in Chicago where the Bulls play Orlando.
