    Which of the draft commentators' contributions did you enjoy the most? Feel free to comment on who was most aggravating, but no piling on Stephen A. Smith, please!

    If I've forgotten anyone, just go with other and add them to the commentary.

    I voted for Stuart Scott but all of them sucked because they were all so negative when they aren't really draft experts themselves.

    I bet Stephen A. won't be back next year. Patrick looked like he wanted to choke him and Bilas was laughing up his sleeve half the night.

    I miss when TNT did the draft. It was so so much more entertaining. SAS and Dick Vitale was almost too much for me.

    It really needs to go back to TNT.

    Ernie, Kenny, Charles + any combo of some past college coach/current college coach, Magic Johnson, Hubie Brown, and Craig Sager in a Pimp suit. :D

    Haha I was laughing so hard at the exchange between Patrick and Stern. I like Patrick, but he really is full of himself-- but at least he's funny.

    And he knows more about basketball than Steven A Smith or Stuart Scott, who are probably the least knowledgeable people I have ever seen work in sports.

    Wow, there are at least 9 people that actually like Screamin' A. Smith (or at least like him more than anyone else that was out there).

    I've always hated the guy with a passion, but on draft night I not only thought he was hilarious, he actually said quite a number of things I agreed with.

    One of my favorite moments of the night: after New York drafted Renaldo Balkman, Smith says something like "Now, the Knicks think he could be another Dennis Rodman. All I got to say is this: HE BETTER BE!"

    It was definitely exciting!

    Stephen can make anyone laugh or really upset, he is full of emotions!

    They were all good except Bucher, who I wanted to like choke until he ran outta air. After the Blazers took Foye, I was happy bout getting Gay only to be informed by Bucher that we were trading him away for Battier. Not a fun draft day.

    Greg Anthony was the best, imo.

    Stephen A tells it like it is. No sugarcoating. He was spot on when he talked about the rockets trade.

    Man, I knew I left somebody out. I could see a fourth figure in my mind's eye but I couldn't put a face or name with it. Also, I feel like I slighted Dick Vitale by not listing him separately. Sorry.
