his writing >> his tv appearances, but i still prefer him to the other standard talking heads

[ElNono]

Some of his podcasts are pretty good. Perhaps that's what they're aiming for.

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of him in NBA Countdown... if they could also get rid of Sage Steel, that would be great too, tbh...

[Jenks]

Woot, I don't watch ESPN, just the games.

I hope they give Jalen Rose his own show, too.

I thought Wilbon was pretty good, when they got rid of him but kept Rose and Simmons I couldn't believe it.

He can be annoying sometimes, but he is a good troll tbh :lol

Also, Mike Breen should be in troll mode more often; politically correct Breen is shit, but when he is trolling he is awesome tbh

[baseline bum]

I liked Simmons and Collins on Countdown. Too bad they couldn't keep them and then poach Kenny Smith from TNT to take over for Jalen.

[RobbyH]

He sounds like a fucking prick on TV. Nothing wrong with his writing tho

well he doesnt go troll mode on a regular basis, but one in a while he does

[Killakobe81]

His writing is entertaining. Solid hoops acumen. Sucked on TV and I am not a huge fan of Jalen he is a poor man's Stuart Scott always singing and rapping corny shit. Stu at least was clever in the old ESPN days with Olberman, Patrick and Kilborn. Now he and Jalen remind me of your old uncle using catch phrases and saying "As you young folks say" . GTFO.

Though Kenny's ego is out of control, he and chuck are authentic. They dont try to be hip and are cooler because of it.

I do like collins and Hubie though.
Breen is fine not great not bad.
JVG is smart but tries too hard to be funny in a dorky white kind of way.

His writing is terrible, he's beaten the "pop culture references" schtick into the ground and he'll use anything as an excuse to segue into whining and crying about Boston sports....

I actually like Simmons as long as Boston sucks. He doesn't add in the fluff, just calls it like it is IMO

[cd021]

No Simmons, Rose or Magic please.

[ducks]

I liked simons on the show do not like rose

I felt the opposite about Wilbon.

He spent half the time bragging about who he had dinner with the night before and begging players to be friends with him. It got pretty embarrassing at times.

[Venti Quattro]

Grantland is good

[mavsfan1000]

I liked simons on the show do not like rose
Translated into I liked white people on the show do not like black people.

:lol what?

[mavsfan1000]

:lol what?
Simmons is White and Rose is black. Do I have to explain any further?

[RobbyH]

Simmons is White and Rose is black. Do I have to explain any further?

:lol Simmons might be bad but Jalen Rose is the worst analyst in TV history. You pulled the race card for no reason there

[ElNono]

Jalen Rose is up there with Reggie Miller in the mount rushmore of unwatchable television, tbh...

[Jacob1983]

Jalen Rose needs a speech coach. Probably a worse public speaker than Mark Jackson.

[DMC]

Must be the father of D-Rose.

[Venti Quattro]

Jalen's manner of speaking annoys the fuck out of me but he and Simmons have created good chemistry on ESPN, me thinks...

[anakha]

Jalen Rose telling stories and shooting the shit is watchable.

Jale Rose trying to provide insightful analysis is the furthest thing from watchable.

[Killakobe81]

Jalen's manner of speaking annoys the fuck out of me but he and Simmons have created good chemistry on ESPN, me thinks...

Better in podcast form on grantland ...Simmons can be witty live but much better with time to create. Dude use to write for Kimmel ...

[Brazil]

I like Jalen and Simmons on dat show tbh

I find it entertaining and pretty well done fwiw

[Spurs9]

Going to replace him with Bill Walton tbh

[r-nice]

Going to replace him with Bill Walton tbh

Throw it down big man, throw it down!

[Blizzardwizard]

Grantland podcasts are good, so if they're going with something similar to that, fine.

[Killakobe81]

Throw it down big man, throw it down!

I wish funny guy I loved when he and Snapper used to bicker on the NBC telecasts Snapper was a huge Blazers homer ... Tlong would love him ...
