Michael Eaves is fast-becoming one of the most recognized faces - and emerging voices - in all of sports. With a Telly Award and five Emmys to his credit, Michael recently celebrated his 29th year in journalism and sports broadcasting, having covered some of the most-watched athletic events of the 21st century.
Following more than two decades of journalism experience in television and radio, Michael had the privilege of joining ESPN in May 2015 as a studio anchor. In addition to his in-studio SportsCenter and NBA Countdown duties, he's provided live coverage from the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, The Masters, PGA Championship, NBA Playoffs, Monday Night Football, UFC, the Rose Bowl, and Muhammad Ali's funeral.
The pride of White Plains, Kentucky, Michael's smooth delivery and colorful commentary stem from his love for learning. "I've always been interested in what's going on around me, both in and out of the sports world - and what happened before me. Historical perspective is invaluable when it comes to storytelling."
Michael won five LA-Area Emmy awards with FOX Sports West in the Best Sports Reporting and Outstanding Sports Feature categories. He also won a 2012 Telly Award for Best Sports Feature and was named the Best Television Anchor in Southern California by the LA Press Club in 2013. His affiliations include memberships in the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association and the National Association of Black Journalists.
The adopted son of a coal miner and a social worker, Michael has lived in Lexington, Memphis, Los Angeles, New York, and now in Hartford, Connecticut, with his wife of 13 years, Crystal. When he isn't working, Michael can usually be found on the golf course, at the gym, traveling, reading, or consuming information on one of many devices.
