Which NBA commentator do you dislike the most [Archive]

I fucking hate Mark Jackson and I cringe everytime he is doing the color commentating. He's so retarded, like 75 percent of the shit he says is completely void of any basketball knowledge or even relevant.

It's got to be Charles Barkley. A five-year-old thinks he says stupid remarks on the air. And if I hear "First of all..." one more time out of his mouth! Mark Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy, and Mike Breen are all on my shit list. Matt Devlin sounds like a pitch-man for the Bush Administration and his announcer voice disguises some of the idiocy he brings to the table. Reggie Miller's not all that good.

Give me Doug Collins and Hubie Brown. They're the only two voices coming out of my television I even remotely listen to.

Van Gundy sometimes he starts ranting and won't STFU.

Van Gundy is probably the worst. But I hate reggie too since he was a scummy player.
I like Mark Jackson though, rest are alright. Hate the ones who try and argue with other commentators when its an obvious bad call and trying to defend the NBAs officiating

Oh yeah! I forgot about Reggie. He's fucking terrible, I wish he would get fired. Seriously. Just because you were a good player doesn't mean you're going to be a good analyst.

Yeah, I'm not fond of Mark Jackson, but I confess I love Charles Barkley. I also like Van Gundy because he's funny. I don't think I've heard that many games called by Reggie Miller so I can't remember if I liked it... it seems like there was something weird about him, like he sounded really awkward on TV or something.

Mark Jackson and Reggie are by far the worst..Mark Jackson is a huge Lakers homer, which is strange, considering I don't think he has any Laker ties..he also has too many corny catch phrases and doesn't have knowledge of the game..

Reggie is probably the worst from a knowledge standpoint, and he has BY FAR the most annoying voice of any announcer..

As for local announcers..Mavs, Nuggets, Rockets, Heat, Hornets, and Raptors have horrible announcers IMO..

the best local announcers are Spurs(obviously biased), Celtics(Heinsohn is by far the most entertaining announcer due to his over-the-top bias and complaints), Warriors, Clippers(#1 easily IMO), Lakers, Wolves, Nets, and Knicks..all quality..

Sons is Kevin Harlan still on TNT? I haven't heard him in a while. That guy is a boss.

Mark Jackson is the worst. It doesn't even have to be a Laker game for him to have a mouthful of Kobe.

I think the Rockets announcers are the worst in the league. I'd rather listen to Fran Drescher calling a game than them.

Yep. Plus I'll never forget when he said the Nuggets getting Iverson meant they "leap-frogged" the Mavs and Suns.

Reggie Miller, no doubt.

I like Van Gundy and Jackson together, but if they were seperated both would be horrible.

Barkley,Doug Collins,And Hubie Brown are the best

Stu Lantz. Laker color commentator. Worst announcer in sports history.

Mark Jackson :

" I'll take a good offense over a good defense anytime of the day "

Then, later, during the same game :

" Defense wins championships "

I think if you put Reggie Miller and Jackson in the same room watch the average IQ of the telecast go down about 50 pts.

I hear him say that a lot. But he's usually talking about a crazy Kobe fadaway. Great Defense can't stop Great Offense is what i believe he tries to say.

I agree with the concensus....Mark Jackson has to go. He's borderline handicapped with his inane banter and obvious b-ball bantering. "Hand down, man down"..while replays show the guy get the hand up clearly after the shot went in....so fucking stupid.
I miss the days of Isaiah doing commentary. :)

Mark Jackson is just terrible. He doesn't know what to say so he just runs off some random catch phrases during the game.

11-14-2009, 11:56 PM

At least Heinson doesn't do national TV telecasts anymore, like he used to do for CBS. That was a travesty, especially since CBS showed the C's every week.

I can't stand Van Gundy and his little Andy Rooney-style tangents. "Why do they do this," "Why do they do that," "You know what I don't like"... just STFU already.

Both Mark Jackson and Reggie Miller are simply horrible. Additionally, Miller has by far the ugliest voice. Well, not his fault, but it sounds just shitty... :sleep

Stu says the most obvious and retarded things. Of course, if it's a choice between Stu and Reggie Miller...I'm taking Stu every time.

But Stu still sucks. And Paul Sunderland (I Think thats his name) is OK at best.

Paul Sunderland hasn't been doing play by play for the Lakers for about 4 or 5 years. Joel Myers is who you're thinking of. And I'm not a fan of his. But Stu on the other hand is a staple in Lakers broadcasting. Yes he says obvious things. But considering that 90% of announcers say stupid shit constantly, I'll take Stu. Obvious>stupid.

I really love listening to Bill Walton call a game. I know nobody else likes him, but his enthusiasm for the game is fun, and when he gets really excited, he's just plain funny to listen to. The only thing I didn't like about him was he would proclaim whichever team happened to be leading by 2 points better at everything, and as soon as the lead changes, he'd say "That's why the Spurs are winning; their defense is like a brick wall."

LOL, I sort of miss him too. Not sure if anyone remembers, but some time back he was announcing for the Clippers and you could tell he hated it. He even went as far as saying "I don't care if I get fired for this..." on multiple occassions when going into how badly the clippers sucked.

Mark Jackson needs to take a speech class. His NY accent is so freakin thick and annoying. Reggie Miller was a great basketball player but he sucks ass as a commentator.
He reminds me of the dorky scientist on the Simpsons.

mogrovejo

11-16-2009, 01:54 AM

Yeah, Mark Jackson and Reggie Miller are bloody annoying. What's up with ESPN/TNT getting all these awful commentators?

I'm a big fan of Tommy (I don't mind homer announcers, I think they should be homers) and Gorman, Clyde and Breen in NY and Lawler and Smith in LA (Clippers). I don't like the Hornets guys (dull and very passive-aggressive/condescending towards the refs and the opponents ) and the Thunder guys, especially Grant Long (he seems to have no clue about the players of the visiting team, he says some really bizarre stuff).

Mark Jackson and Reggie Miller both suck balls behind the mic.
