Lawrence Tanter, Lakers’ longtime public address announcer, retires
Tanter, 76, is known for his smooth baritone delivery — one he used to find work as a jazz radio DJ in Los Angeles. That deep voice — one as big as his 6-foot-7 physical stature — has narrated Lakers home games since the 1982-83 season, punctuating big plays for a list of names that includes Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Luka Dončić #local
