I firmly believe that only a former NBA coach or player should be doing color for NBA games. I just don't think Van has enough insight into the NBA game or its players. Sure, he understands how basketball plays are drawn up and run, but there's no substitute for experience.
no. that would be horrible. i can telkl your being sarcastic. i could hardly understand him when i was playing baskettball. he speaks english fluenrtly now; but its still broken english at the same time. especially when he talks fast.
wow. my spelling is pretty f*cking horrible. what i meant to say was that hakeem would be a terrible sports commentator. he speaks fluent english, but at the same time its still broken. especially when he talked real fast during interviews after rockets games back in the day.
Hell, I've got those degrees and I'll happily come down to call the games for the price of admission and a couple margarita's. I'd say throw in some nachoes but from the comments I'm hearing that would be a bad idea. My five year old nephew is a more fluid speaker than Coop.
It funny to hear people b****ing about Aramark, then praising the Astros and Texans food. Aramark is the caterer at Reliant and Minute Maid - they do not run the concessions at the Toyota Center - Levy Restaurants does. (For me - I think the food at Toyota Center is much better than it was at Compaq, but then I'd never call WhatABurger a REAL restaurant)
