Best individual: Bill Walton & Kevin Harlan Best combo's: Dick Stockton & Chris Webber, Marv & Grant Hill, Mike Breen & JVG + Heat, Blazers, Hornets, Knicks & Bucks (I recall). Worst: Reggie Miller, Doug Collins, Mike Fratello, Hubie Brown, Jon Barry, Mark Jackson, Clyde Drexler, Barkley, any woman + Clippers, Grizzlies, Celtics & probably few more.
Bill and Clyde are probably bottom 10. Maybe to us, we've gotten used to Bill's homerism and accent but to everybody else in the country, we sound r****ded. I left Bull out because I think he's our best
It's amazing how far Walton has come from his early days doing the NBA. He still digresses into hippy stuff and sounds like commercial for the Conference of Champions but he's alright. That said, I can't listen to him without hearing "Uh oh." PTSD I guess.
I don't know why they don't try different pairings. Breen with Webber, Harlan with JVG, etc. Could just end up not working out, or...could end up discovering better chemistry. I like Breen, Harlan and Webber. Miller and Barry are just...bad.
I still don't know where people got this "Hubie was rooting against the Rockets" stuff...he's an excellent commentator. I've never understood the love for Marv Albert. Guy puts me to sleep. Kevin Harlan is fun to listen to. Reggie Miller is just horrible. He's one of those guys who clearly doesn't watch many teams and just regurgitates whatever the popular narrative is at the moment regardless of what's actually happening on the court.
Enjoy: Albert, Harlan, JVG, Webber Dislike: Barry, and (USUALLY, he appeals to me once in a while) Miller
The reason for not doing those pairings is due to their contracts with rival broadcast companies. It would be a really cool idea though.
a good upcoming play by play announcer is Brian Anderson... he called a few of the game for tnt in rockets Portland series last year and I thought he did a really good job... of course the best announcer in the game right now, play by play or color, is JVG
Webber is pretty good, but I think he rambles on a lot and gets off topic... As far as NBA TV announcers go, I think Steve Smith (Smitty) is pretty good and I love Zeke... he is sooo funny when he talks about basketball when he played in the 80s
hubie always talks about the player or play after the fact... its like he knows what he wants to say but he cannot gather his thoughts until the play is over
I like when Hubie asks himself a question, then answers it... its been his shtick his entire commentating career
TRACY MCGRADY JUST SUCKED THE GRAVITY RIGHT OUT OF THE BUILDING Most def Kevin Harlan, I enjoy Mike Tirico on ESPN, JVG ALWAYS speaks da truth worst: the Mavs broadcast is seriously the worst and a notable Stacey King from the Bulls, dude all game was going on how Bev was a dirty player with malicious intent for some fouls that weren't even all hard, he can eat it.
