[cnnsi]Team-by-team television analysts report card

How long has Worrell been doing the telecasts? ESPN Classic replayed an old game from like '81 the other day, back when Calvin was still playing, and there was Bill doing the commentary...

 

Walton is very funny. How can you not love a guy who'll say of a six seed on the verge of upsetting a three seed, "They're trying to alter the course of history as we know it"? Or changing the axis of the universe or something.

I also like Tom Tolbert. But mostly because the first thing he ever said on NBC was in regards to Chamberlain's 100 point game: something like, "Forget the 100 points, what I'm most impressed with is the 20,000 women. This guy got more tail than Fusaichi Pegasus!"

 

Not PSAT Words Weekly, GRE Words Strongly.

 

bill and calvin = sugar and spice.

Bill walton is pretty good and funny
marv albert is the best
doug collins is too soft and whiny. he says the word love like 100 times during his broadcasts

 

bill walton aint funny, well, his jokes aint funny.. but u can laugh at him and at how stupid he is .. I dont know how he was successful as a player.. because when he talks, he seems to have no clue of what b-ball is .. . he sounds like a soccer coach analyzing basketball..

 

I miss Calvin too but Van Chancellor was downright hilarious.

 

I'm starting to accept Walton's buffoonery and am kind of able to enjoy it occasionally now, although I wouldn't have given him an A+.

But in my opinion, Hubie Brown is an A+++. His understanding of basketball and ability to teach and explain is unparalleled.

 

bring back murphy

 

i hated van. i would always have to use my "SAP" button just to figure out what he was saying

 

Hubie Brown gets an A + from me. He explains the finer details of the game better than anyone else IMO.

 

What do you guys think of Tommy Heinsohm on Boston home games? He is a homer-but very funny-"Waltah Macahhdee!" Now Walter McCardy is in Phoenix,.

 

Your dead on the money Jeff. Bill makes that broadcast bearable. He is the consumate pro. Imagine going from Calvin to Van to Drexler. He just goes with the flow of whomever he's working with and makes the show flow. For all those who hated on Calvin you now have Drexler to put you to sleep and add nothing to the broadcasts.

Now imagine a less qualified play by play man with that trio of color men.

 

I just did, and it scared me so bad I soiled myself.

 

I suppose I'd be condemned as a heretic for saying I actually like Clyde as a commentator.
