He has worked for, among others, the Chargers, USC football, the Dodgers, Angels, Galaxy, A’s and Red Sox as well as the Lakers, called baseball and football for ESPN Deportes and Fox Deportes, and has called five World Series and the 2004 Olympic basketball tournament in Athens. He has worked for Telemundo and Univision, as well as Channels 34 and 52 in L.A. His first love was football, and the San Diego Chargers, but has forged a lengthy and varied broadcast resume in two decades in the business. Garcia Marquez, 46, grew up in Chula Vista and now calls Corona home. It has, he added, “been a bit of a rollercoaster emotionally since we got the news. You can feel it, all over the place, especially those of us that had the privilege to be on the inside.” And that’s the brotherhood, if you will, around Kobe.
We’re grown men, but we have huge hearts. I’ve kind of hesitated from giving him a call because, like I said, we’re going to lose it on the phone. “When I see my brothers, when I get back home, I definitely want to go see (former trainer) Gary Vitti as well. I was gonna call Stu earlier (Thursday) morning when I was doing some NFL Experience stuff, and I said, ‘I think I’m going to wait because I know I’m going to lose it once I hear Stu’s voice again.’ … I didn’t want to talk to anybody – guys like (fellow broadcaster) Mike Trudell, all of us that were on the planes, Stu Lantz. We lived a lot of great moments with Kobe. I had a conversation with Francisco Pinto (his broadcast partner with the Lakers).
“Kind of like, you know, the ‘Mamba mentality,’ if you will, to be cliche about it. “A lot of us that were part of the Laker organization, that felt close to Kobe, obviously we want to just focus on the work at hand,” he said in a phone conversation from Miami.
