Professional sports announcing
Kuhn has served as the arena voice of the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association since the team's inception in 1995.[3] He rarely misses a home game; however, in November 2006, he and his wife adopted a child from Africa named Enhle, and, as a result, missed seven Raptors games during November and December. He also missed one home game against the Chicago Bulls on November 25, 2007, for unknown reasons.
