    My least favorite NBA announcer is back. Hand down man down Mama there goes that man!

    This guy is the king of new catch phrases that don't catch. He's like the kid that starts talking in the middle of the conversation and no one knows what to say after... They just wait him out for commercial or for the game to resume. I always liked Jeff Van Gundy because he never made fun of him or took cheap shots but always wanted to see his face when Mark starts saying random shit. I think he turns his head away and looks something like this...

    You're watching the NBA ... you deserve whatever you get for that. I wish they would banish Gus Johnson to NBA games only. I'd never hear him again and I'd love it.

    God Bill I hadn't thought about this. I hope to god someone hires him to do something so he doesn't go back to calling games. Maybe he'll get studio work or something, that would beat a whole game of his bullshit. Funny how I used to hate Jackson and JVG, then once Jackson was gone I realized Jeff was a pretty damn good in-game analyst. It was Jackson who ruined everything. I call it the Jesse Palmer effect. No matter who you put him with, he will bring the others in the booth down to his level

    Agreed. JVG is great. He and Jackson stayed in pissing contests. JVG is better without having to defend himself to Jackson.

    Right. What's Jeff gonna do though, ignore him? Now that he has been a player AND a coach he is really gonna think he knows stuff.

    Shaq is terrible on TNT. Dude never had a chance though. They don't talk to him. If they do they give first crack at it to Charles and then Kenny counters that and then as if there is a third side to it they say, Oh Shaq, what do you think. Uhhh I agree with Chu-enny.

    I always wondered why they sit him on the end like that. When EJ looks at Kenny or Charles, Shaq isnt in the shot. He could be eating dinner over there and we wouldn't see it. When they are talking to Shaq, they pan out so we can see who is about to interrupt him.

    Right you are. Whenever I see that TNT "panel", I always think what would Kenny Powers do if he were Shaq ? Still, Barkley is obviously wittier and smarter than Shaq, and I am not even sure that Shaq realizes that he has a pretty limited role on that panel. But I'll take the TNT panel and announcers any day over the douchebags they have on ESPN/ABC.

    Whatever you think of Mark Jackson, The NBA has the best announcers of any major sport in the States. Remember Fox is carrying the world series this year with Joe Buck and Tim mcCarver and the ton of poor nfl announcing isnt that far away either. I love some local baseball like the Braves and vin scully with the dodgers, tons of great local mlb announcers, and I like tbs coverage of the playoffs , but fox baseball is atrocious.

    The NBA is a great product because they have some of the best announcers in the world, Marv Albert,Van Gundy, Hubie Brown, Doris Burke,Mike Breen and Charles Barkley at half.

    These are the salad days for announcing with the NHL and NBA, I would rate the major sports for announcing with nba as the best announcers and nhl playoffs up there as well at the top with Doc Emrick and the NFL and MLB as the worst announcers for playoffs and the always uncomfortable viewing of the NFL Fox halftime.

    The Best

    NBA Marv Albert, Van Gundy, Hubie Brown!!! ,Doris Burke, Mike Breen

    NHL Doc Emrick!!! Eddie Olczyk John Forslund

    Hard to remember Howard Cosell and the glory days of monday night football but I would put Chris Collingsworth and NBC Sunday night football at the top of the list for commentary but most NFL commentary is painful. MLB has some great local announcers but the MLB world series is atrocious.

    Agree. Hubie is my all time favorite. The only gripe I have is everyone talks like him now. He always says "Now, if your the Spurs, here, you have to watch out for the back door to the post..." He'd take us inside from a coach's mind. Now everyone from Reggie Miller to Greg Anthony: "If youre the Clippers, you gots ta focus" or "If you're the Nuggets, you gotta play basketball!". Ya dude, break it down for me. Shower us with knowledge.

    Yea, they had a good thing goin but they want to shake it up I guess. Just not enough time for 4 guys to talk. It's starting to be like the view. EJ is Barbara Walters.

    These playoffs are the salad days for pro sports as far as announcing , NBA has tons of greats like,Marv Albert, Hubie Brown,Reggie Miller,Doris Burke, Van Gundy. NHL has Doc Emrick ,Eddie Olczyk, John Forslund.

    I love baseball and football but the NFL on Fox is crap. College football is better, you have Brent Musberger and espn gameday, alot better than NFL, excluding sunday night on nbc. NFL used to have Cosell and Al Michaels doing monday night football, NFL Today with Musberger, Irv Cross,Madden ,even "The Greek" Jimmy Snyder, once CBS lost the NFC and fox took over it declined, losing Pat Summerall was the death blow. Now we have Fox NFL show which always awkward to watch

    College basketball has some greats Dick Vitale, Jay Bilas, Bill Raftery and the "dagger". Enjoy Bob Costas the good local mlb commentary with vin scully etc. while it lasts, pro baseball will have Fox and Joe Buck and Tim McCarver doing the world series.

    I always thought Joe Morgan was awesome on Sunday Night Baseball. Then he went and exposed himself for the completely arrogant self promoting asshole he really is. Not to mention he rips the sport that made him every chance he gets.

    Buck can go drown in a toilet any time he's ready.

    Literally the only guy that will cause me to mute a game. Knows nothing, acts like he knows it all. Consistently wrong.
