Early life and education Greenberg grew up in Mahwah, New Jersey. After high school, he attended Hofstra University, graduating in 2005. While there he did radio play-by-play for football, basketball, softball, baseball and lacrosse; as well as hosting sports talk radio programs with Ira Thor.

Professional career As a junior in college, he had his first experience in television, doing basketball sideline reporting for MSG and Comcast. Late in college he was a public relations intern for the New York Giants. This led to becoming the statistician for the radio play-by-play announcer Bob Papa. He described this as an important learning experience and did it for several years. After a period of freelancing for News 12, On the NBA App, Greenberg began hosting NBA CrunchTime, the NBA equivalent of NFL RedZone in 2022.

On the SiriusXM NBA station, he hosted Out of Bounds, The Jump Ball, NBA Gametime, Making The Call and Shaqtin' a Fool for TNT Sports.

Controversies In 2025 he reported that center Mark Williams had back issues that "stunted his growth" and kept him out of the weight room. He later apologized and retracted those comments as inaccurate.

In 2023 he called out coach Gregg Popovich for his condescending interviews with the media. He said the San Antonio Spurs organization needs to embrace the media rather than view it as an enemy. In 2015 he had a notably "excruciating" interview with Popovich in which the coach trolled Greenberg, "[shutting] him down in a gloriously awkward exchange."
