    Thank goodness about Magic leaving TNT. I like the studio crew for TNT. It should be Ernie, Kenny, and Charles. They don't need a fourth wheel, unless its a special guess.

    Let's see about getting Calvin Murphy into Magic's vacant spot next to Kenny and Chuck. THAT would be entertaining.

    Whoa I like Jeff, but saying he's the least biased is insane. Did you hear his crazy praise for the Rockets last year?
    I remember in one broadcast he said Shane for DPOY(highly possible) Scola for ROY(borderline posssible) and TMac as the best passer in the NBA (uh sure).

    Depends. I heard a rumor that JVG made 1.5 million last year. Doubt that's true though. He only worked 2 days a week for 8 months.

    He also said Rafer was a top 5 point guard, though he said that before win number 22 vs. LA, when Rafer was the best point guard in the NBA.

    The amount of self-loathing in the world just decreased by 10%.

    Good job getting rid of Magic from TNT, but why is JVG still with Disney... They suck at commentating, and it's all about LeBron and Pussycat Girls.

    Wow, are they actually going to let Magic talk? That's horrible.


    Awesome player, horrible speaker with nothing worthwhile to say. He makes me cringe when he speaks.

    Magic is better suited coming on TNT every so often. Then coming in more often during the playoffs. Not everyday.

    JVG is good and has chemistry with Mark Jackson.

    Mike Breen sux and is in love with Steve Nash.

    ABC NBA presentation is so horrible.

    So who's going to replace Magic as the part time guest analyst on TNT?

    I think it's gonna be Avery Johnson, he did a few shows last year
