QFT best post on this thread...needs to read again by others....and bring back calvin...I remember, when i was 13 staying up late watching on a 5 inch screen bill & calvin calling barkley & pippen teams...man I miss hearing calvin laugh
Les doesn't need any excuses or doesn't need to give an explanation for anything. He owns the team and will hire the employees he wants. I guess we can hope as fans, but I'd rather bring back Van Chancelor. He called pretty much every play before it happened. The man knew his basketball.
I love how Calvin Murphy said yesterday that Ron Artest is going to be the Micahel Jordan of our team. But once he explained himself i was like ok that kinda makes sense (jordan makes his teammates better and so does Artest), but he could of chose a million other names besides MJ. Despite all the ignorant comments and allllll the kids I still want Calvin Murphy back on tv again.
I wasn't a calvin (broadcasting) fan at first. his cookie eating was a rock in my shoe. his rants were sand in my eye. after a while I realized something, though: that cookie eating, brash dude knew basketball! I can't count the number of times calvin would accurately predict plays on the court. not just 4 the rockets either. his chocolate chip wisdom reached other teams' playbooks, as well. I played organized ball, yet learned something almost every game from calvin. cookie crumbs aside, the man knows the damn game! he was the ketchup and mustard rockets...clyde is the cartoonish flying sextoy rox - built for show and sales but no true substance or staying power. at best he'll be the hideous throwback 30 years from now. calvin is classic and will forever be loved and appreciated by me.
