Off-season changes continue for the San Antonio Spurs.
Officials with Spurs Sports & Entertainment say they are replacing the 18-year arena voice of their flagship Spurs franchise, Stan Kelly, with Kevin Brock.
Kelly began his public address announcer duties with the Spurs back when the team still played in HemisFair Arena. During his tenure, the team won four NBA championships.
One of Kelly’s more recognizable lines before every Spurs home game was, “Let’s get busy.”
Kelly can still be heard mornings on WOAI-AM.
Brock joined SS&E in 2003, serving as the courtside announcer for the WNBA San Antonio the Silver Stars. He has worked as an announcer for NCAA regional tournaments, the Alamo Bowl, UTSA basketball games and the Big 12 Women’s Basketball tournaments.
“Kevin’s passion is contagious and his energy has electrified both Spurs and Silver Stars fans from the moment he turned on the mic,” says Lawrence Payne, executive vice president of corporate partnerships and broadcasting for SS&E.

good ,now he can work calling out numbers for bingo night . Not that he needs to . I just felt compelled to say that . But even thought in my opinion he was lame-o,
he still has been the voice. So best of luck to ya pal!
Wow - I watched the Silver Stars in the Finals and I thought the courtside announcer was really good and thought that it was too bad he doesn't do the Spurs games. So now they have replacede the announcer - is the intro music fare behind?

People here have been saying that Stan needs to be replaced for years.
If anyone doesn't know who is taking over.. It's "Big Kev" the guy who does all the crowd shots on the jumbo screen during the live Spurs games.

I liked Stan Kelly, he was the voice of the Spurs. I grew up listening to him over the PA, so I will miss him. I don't like change though...
