Who is the worst basketball analyst at ESPN?

[Riddler]

I would say Jon Barry. He gets pissed off everytime you say something negative about the lakers, least objective imo

[lefty]

Jon Barry, Jalen Rose

[Axe Murderer]

Dick Vitale

He's a "basketball analyst" yet his analysis consists of screaming in weird voices and saying every player is awesome

[Giuseppe]

Obviously he ain't there now, but, Collins bellowing "NO!!!" when Artest put that back Vs. Phoenix in the WCF's.

That fuck.

[Tinystarz]

rob parker is fucking annoying

[Hooks]

Anyone who talks shit about the Spurs.

[The Gemini Method]

Bruce Bowen with 'em bowties gets my vote...

I'd say it would be Jalen Rose...the guy obviously cannot focus unless he's on the sauce.

[JamStone]

Jalen Rose and Bruce Bowen are both pretty bad.

Not an analyst but reporter, Ric Bucher annoys me.

[in2deep]

all of them

[jag]

:lol

Jon Barry flat out hates the Spurs. 'nuff said.

[Spur-Addict]

Everytime Jon Barry says something negative about the Spurs, I remind myself that he has to look Brent in the eyes at family functions. And at those functions he's reminded of the fact that his brother has a ring from the Spurs, and he has no ring at all. It's pure resentment, and I laugh at his plight, so I understand where his hate comes from. He was a bum journeyman.

With that said, JB And Mike Breen are pretty bad.

[djohn2oo8]

Especially Breen, the other night when Kenyon Martin talked shit to the L.A. crowd, Breen got massively butthurt

& I always thought Breen begrudged us thru the years, DJ.

All in personal perspective.

[DesignatedT]

Jon Barry.. hands down.

[Killakobe81]

Barry, rose, Bowen and Mashburn (he still there) all suck.
Im not a fan of Magic (he's my favorite plyer but urgggh), Wilbon, stu scott.

Out of ESPN/ABC I like: Mjax, JVG is ok in smaller doses although "corny. Breen is cool he just an uptight white dude like the skinny baseball guy ... Mullin just OK ...

Is that right after someone told him that Manu actually won the 6th man award in 2008??? :lol

[jjktkk]

I love Barkely, but he didn't know shit about the college players, when he was part of the NCAA tourney broadcast crew.

You know what to expect with Charles. He's not going to give you any great insight. The best he can do is tell someone he's about to slap the hell out of them. That gives me my Charles fix for the rest of the night.

Yup...that and "GINOBILI!!!!!" :lol

[DMC]

He's not as animated with that yell as he used to be. These days it's just a shtick.

Guess Manu needs another ring, then. :hat

[DMC]

That would bring Chucky back over from the dark side.

[mingus]

Jalen Rose, Bruce Bowen, John Barry, Wilbon, Van Gundy.

[DMC]

Van Gundy is a comedy relief, but the guy has had some good takes from time to time. He's good at calling what the next play is going to be and is right a lot of the time. Too bad he talks way too much.

[HarlemHeat37]

There aren't really any "good" analysts on any network, tbh..

[ElNono]

They're all flavor of the month kind... I remember both Barry and Wilbon giving the Lakeshow massive fellatio before the Denver game and during halftime. Two months earlier they couldn't get off the Spurs jockstrap.

Being that they all pretty much blow, I kinda miss Walton. He was just exaggeration after exaggeration and it was comedy.

[djohn2oo8]

yeah, Walton is funny at least

[Bito Corleone]

Jalen Rose takes the cake. Not only are most of his takes bad, but he can't speak like someone who should be on TV. He always seems like he's struggling with every single word he's saying...like he's trying to read a prepared speech, but can't ever quite remember what it was he wrote.

:rollin

[stretch]

I think the better question is who is the best basketball analyst at EPSN.

Most of them blow ass. Who is actually decent?

[jeebus]

Stephen A Smith is horrible and espn is the only place that will hire his dumb stupid fucking ass.

[mingus]

Van Gundy is a comedy relief, but the guy has had some good takes from time to time. He's good at calling what the next play is going to be and is right a lot of the time. Too bad he talks way too much.

i've always hated him, but after he stated that Miami would break the reg. season record for wins, he became a joke.

[8FOR!3]

Jon Barry and Jalen Rose suck.

[ploto]

I love Barkely, but he didn't know shit about the college players, when he was part of the NCAA tourney broadcast crew.

I thought Steve Kerr did a really great job with the NCAA games- and yeah, I know that was not ESPN.

[The Gemini Method]

Except the one time he went overstated in one of the close games...can't remember who it was...might've been a Zona game, too. Anyhow, he did a pretty good job. I didn't really care for Reggie Miller's inclusion. They should have Barkley do more court announcing and less in-studio work. He looked out of place doing the in-studio material.

I like Chris Broussard well enough.

[Koolaid_Man]

I'm just proud to see so many of the Black Brothers sound intelligent...( like Kobe)

Gary Payton now was one fucked up analyst...But we've heard Kobe analyze the game...I don't think we've ever heard Timmy up in the studio analyzing games...Timmy strike me as camera shy... he'd fuck a set up in no time...

[ManuBalboa]

Espn.

[Capt Bringdown]

Especially Breen, the other night when Kenyon Martin talked shit to the L.A. crowd, Breen got massively butthurt

You ain't kidding, I thought the guy was going to start bawling - apparently it the worse thing he's ever witnessed in his life.

[VBM]

Not ESPN, but I crack up every damn time I hear Kevin McHale call Ginobili "Mano."

[Greg Oden]

all of these guys suck but it's no surprise that usually the most tolerable ones aren't ex-nba stars.

[djohn2oo8]

You ain't kidding, I thought the guy was going to start bawling - apparently it the worse thing he's ever witnessed in his life.

Two things I found funny about that:

1. Breen would have NO problem with Artest going around kissing his muscles to the crowd

2. Mark Jackson of all people stood up for Kenyon

V, do you think that's really Portman in your loop video, or, do you think that's a stunt double? Do you know for certain?

[VBM]

I'm 100% certain, G. In my heart and soul I know it's her...bunny rabbit in the background and all

[Giuseppe]

That video drives me to distraction. It's like free entertain. I love it.

Poster Trainwreck used to sig a loop video of a guy leg sweeping this hot girl poolside. It was an incredible sequence. Did you ever see that one?

Your's though is my second all time favorite after that one.

[TheMACHINE]

Anyone who talks shit about the Spurs.

How can they talk shit about the spurs if they never talk about them in the first place?

That gif's a classic. The Portman one would be too if it included this at the end

spoiler alert..

BGO3RGXSyOI

1. it's not the same thing. Kissing your muscles how he did is a funny gesture. Cursing out the crowd thug style isn't.

2. Mark Jackson is a tool

[ALVAREZ6]

they're all horrible, really
