Philadelphia 76ers Announcer, Matt Cord, Featured in NBA 2K24

Author Matty Cord

Don’t look now, but the NBA season is sneaking up, and I could not be any more excited. If you are like me, and can’t wait for the NBA season, well, maybe consider picking up a copy of NBA 2K24 and getting a head start on the season yourself.

If you do end up grabbing yourself a copy of the game, which was released on Friday, September 8th, you might just hear a familiar voice in it!

That’s right, yours truly makes an appearance in the game and I could not be more stoked to appear in the most successful NBA video game series of all time!

Earlier this year, back in February, I spent a total of five days in Los Angeles, California — the Burbank area to be specific — recording vocal tracks for NBA 2K24. It is actually my third year in the video game as an announcer.

Working on the game has been incredible, and the people I recorded with are some of the best in the business. I recorded at Mission Control Studios in Mission Hills, California, with Bill and Arlene Kole. They are the coolest husband and wife team you will ever meet!

They do a terrific job and are super easy to work with. It makes sense that they are originally from Canada because they definitely have that cliche incredibly kind Canadian feel to them! I just love Canadians!

If you want to read more about my experience recording for NBA 2K24 back in February, consider checking out my post about it from earlier this year right here!

Oh, and I can’t forget, if you want a chance to win a free copy of NBA 2K24, you’re in luck! Tomorrow morning, Thursday, September 14th, Steve and I will have a copy for you to win on The Matt Cord Show With Steve Vassalotti!

We will be doing the giveaway at 7:40 a.m. during our “D Student Trivia” contest, and the winner will get themselves a copy!

So don’t forget to tune in from 6 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. tomorrow and every day because you never know what you could possibly win!

Philadelphia Eagles Insider Dave Spadaro's Wedding at The Linc

We are still hanging on to the last month or so of summer and trying to enjoy it for all we can before it is gone. Don’t get me wrong, I love every season, but summer is just a little different because there are so many different fun things you can do.

Although with that said, it is hard to keep my eyes off of the upcoming Philadelphia Eagles season ahead since it looks like another great season is approaching for the Birds.

But for now, we will keep hanging on to summer for all we’ve got and another season that we are currently in the midst of – wedding season!

Congratulations to my longtime buddy, Dave Spadaro, who got married on Saturday to his beautiful bride, Angela! The ceremony took place on the 50-yard line at the Linc, which is only fitting considering the great work Dave Spadaro does year in and year out for the Eagles.

Anyway, talk about an extremely unique wedding venue! The guests, which I would say were close to 150 of us, entered the field through the tunnel where the Birds players come out while AC/DC’s “For Those About to Rock” played. As we did this, it was captured on the two huge video screens where they show replays at the Linc.

After the ceremony, we all celebrated in the lounge underneath right next to the tunnel. Then, upstairs to the club level for more food and drinks while we danced the night away!

Altogether, it was an awesome night from beginning to end and even Swoop, the mascot for the Eagles, made an appearance! Everyone there looked like they were having a great time, and I know Pattyann and I did for sure!

Once again, congratulations to Dave Spadaro and Angela! Hopefully, the next ceremony on the 50-yard line at the Linc will be for another NFC Championship title in January!
