    Ya. I don't get why people like Webber. I think he tries way to hard to be funny and he doesn't provide much actual insight.

    Miller is just annoying.

    I very much like Ian Eagle. JVG is the best analyst. Greg Anthony is very solid, also.

    I think play by play and color analyst need to he split up here. In no particular order

    Play by play
    * Kevin Harlan
    * Marv Albert
    * Mike Breen
    * Mike Tirico

    Generally, there aren't too many bad play by play guys. Just some bring more excitement and panache than others.

    Color
    * Hubie Brown (tops)
    * Steve Kerr
    * Jeff Van Gundy
    * Chris Webber
    * Doris Burke (Yeah, Doris. She's pretty good).

    Awful
    * Reggie Miller - diarrhea of the mouth. Tries to be "entertaining" instead of informative. Get this fool off of my TV.

    Kevin Harlan is the best of the best.

    One and only Kevin Harlen

    Mike Breen is my favorite play-by-play guy, JVG is my favorite color/analyst.

    I don't get why people like Kevin Harlan so much.

    Marv, JVG, Harlan

    Hubie Brown is by far the worst

    Hubie Brown is great for people who don't watch basketball that much. His remarks and comments are fairly obvious (i.e. this guy didn't box out so the team lost the rebound) and generally I don't find him that exciting to listen to.

    My personal favorites would be JVG for the nice analysis and the funny factor, Mike Breen (very nice voice), and Steve Kerr.

    Reggie Miller shouldn't even be on that list.

    as a fan of NBA on NBC and 90s basketball in general, I have to vote for Marv Albert.

    All votes for Kevin Harlan should be counted towards Marv- Kevin sounds almost exactly like him. Without Marv, there is no Kevin.

    Definitely JVG... I love that he's not afraid to make fun of everyone. Like during the Lakers-Rockets game at the end of the season, ESPN put up the Big Board that showed the playoff games would be on ESPN and TNT... JVG replied "So basically the networks that showed NBA games in the regular season will continue to show them in the playoff. Nice clarification fellas."
