    I would say Calvin of course

    Drexler didn't use to talk a lot. Bill Worell is doin' everythin :D

    Grew up with Calvin and him and Bill are just burned into my memory from the championship years.

    Calvin hands down.

    Who are the bakers dozen who voted for Clyde

    I think the fact that Clyde actually got some votes should be an embarrassment to Calvin. Shame on you Calvin for letting Clyde get 12 votes!

    Calvin was one of the best commentators out there. He brouight flair and excitement to each game. I was hoping they would bring him back.

    I think I was too young to notice commenators in Calvin's days, but I really loved Bullard and Van Chancellor.

    Matt Bullard: "<insert player> is able to finish at the rim with either hand, he is truly ambidexterous.

    *short pause*

    that means he can breathe both air and water."

    come on, give it up for Matt

    Sometimes Calvin was annoyingly stupid at times, but he could be really funny too. He also (occasionally) gave some interesting insights into the game. Plus as some have said, Calvin is burned into my brain from the championship years...Calvin by a mile in this poll.

    At least Clyde looks sharp in his Burberry tie, compared to Calvin's sartorial disasters. So Drexler at least has that working for him. :)

    I missed calvin tacky pimp suits and his chuckles. I like his hair line too! It shapes like the letter M. Does it stand for Murphy?

    This thread reminds me of Charles Barkley's commentary. He says something to elicit a reaction even though it's completly off the wall.

    There shouldn't be any thread with a poll, it basically got everyone up and roudy haha

    les ain't going to re-hire murph again, so this thread is pointless.

    but les should have hired jon barry when he had the chance.

    Except Clyde doesn't add any color to his commentary.

    worst poll ever. Seriously. Who do you think is going to win.

    Worrell > Calvin > Bullard > Malowski(sp?) > Drexler > Van > Cooper

    Clyde has 14 votes?

    How is that even possible?

    Methinks someone is not taking the sanctity of the online bbs poll vote very seriously!
