You're missing the Hollinsism where he needs to reach for a tissue each time he says it. *Garuba breathes Hollins: "USMAN GARUBA BABEEEE"
Ryan Hollins sucks. Some complained about Bullard being repetitive. What is Hollins? “Gotta go! Gotta go! Gotta go! Shot clock winding down. Gotta go!” “HAHA CRAIG, THAT’S THE SAUCE BABY!” “CRAIG CRAIG CRAIG, GOON SQUAD DOIN’ WORK! CRAIG!” “CRAIG! HAHA HE GOT ACKERMAN’D!”
No one will ever be as bad as Clyde, but Ryan is on the low end for sure. He doesn't offer much insight and has very few anecdotes considering how many stops he made. Just a lot of rah-rah and boomshakalaka. He's what you would get if an AI listened to 10,000 hours of Dick Vitale and then created a generic analyst for 2K.
The phrase is only $20 Nice try Tilman, but we know nothing is under 20 in the Rockets shop. To add to this thread MargaREEETas Not a penny not a nickel, that's a dime UCLA I can't wait for the day the Rockets buy an AI system and just run Bill's bot.
He's very, very obnoxious when he gets excited. Any chance to say BABYYY and use that high pitched squirrel like voice of his. Wish I could enjoy him more, but I just cannot. Cannot wait for him to leave.
his yelling and enthusiasm seems so forced and over the top…Hollins, calm your ass down stop mixing Hennessy with your coffee
I’m not a huge fan, yet it’s great when he slips in his occasional X’s and O’s talk. Rare for announcers to name the action/play, but he does it subtlety during play, so it’s easy to miss. Gotta stay alert if you appreciate BBall terminology like me. Wish he’d do it more, and actually as analysis during replays. Definitely better than Clyde, Bullard and Calvin when he shares tidbits of knowledge, but his forced excitement, hyper talk is hard to listen too.
Nothing stands out to me.. He's so damn corny.. kinda like what Russell Wilson would sound like doing football games..
unfortunately Calvin can barely string together two coherent sentences. Have you been watching his halftime commentary? Definitely not the same Calvin. Father Time has caught up. Believe me I was a huge Calvin supporter and hated that Les essentially exiled him. But we’re two decades too late at this point. it would be good if they could find someone that had at least some sort of affiliation with Houston or the rockets.
