Dick Vitale has regained his voice following his latest battle with vocal cord cancer, and now the 84-year-old college basketball announcer is already planning his return to the ESPN booth.
An emotional Vitale sent a video of himself and his doctor to Tampa Bay Times reporter Joey Knight on Monday – and as the former Detroit Pistons coach explained, the footage shows him speaking for the first time in seven months.
‘This is the first time I’ve been able to speak,’ Vitale said through his fluttering, raspy voice.
‘I’m gonna do it in moderation for the next couple of weeks… I’m emotional. I’m excited. I didn’t speak, you gotta understand, for seven months. You’re the first people hearing my voice in a long, long time.’
The famously verbose Vitale underwent radiotherapy in September, which his doctor said went ‘remarkably well.’
