After more than 20 years as the radio play-by-play voice of the Nets, Carrino has been recognized by the NBA with "The Values of the Game Award," not only for his dedication and hard work, but also for the daily obstacles he faces, that most do not see. "It's an incredible honor, I was completely shocked by it and surprised by it, but really what it is to me is a recognition that you're seen," Carrino said.
He works and lives with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy , which Carrino was diagnosed with when he was in his 20's. "It's a punch to the gut," he said. "It's scary in that moment because you don't know where it's going to lead."
