    Wow, his play calling is beyond horrible and someone needs to call him out. Mistake after mistakes and seema like his head is never in the game. Has he always been like this? This season was embarrasingly bad for him. Oh yea, he called Drose "David Rose" during the mvp presentation. LMFAO!

    Hubie Brown and Jack Ramsey are much older and they have been pretty good calling the game. If he's to old to keep up with the game, why won't TNT just retire him? Just cuz you old doesn't mean your poor calls are excuse.

    This.

    He makes college basketball commentary fantastic; no reason he can't do this for the NBA.

    He just has that voice that draws you in.

    He calls (or at least used to call) Knicks games. It's pretty enjoyable listening to him when I catch a knicks game every now and then.

    "Do you foul here?" ;)

    Seriously though, I woudn't mind him calling him a few games here and there.

    Can't be worse than Dick "I should have retired 30 years ago" Stockton or Matt "BARGNANI!!!!!" Devlin.

    He's a free agent now, too.
