View Full Version : Sean Elliott: King of Broadcasters

Just wanted to start an appreciation thread for Sean. He makes watching the games so fun. He's definitely the most quick-witted, articulate sports commentator I've ever heard. Sean always brings a positive energy to the Spurs broadcasts with his humor and intelligent analysis.
The most amazing thing about Sean is the wisdom he conveys in his commentary. I always enjoy the lessons about life which I glean from Sean's strategical and tactical breakdowns. Sports is such a strong metaphor for life. Even game theory illustrates that useful extrapolations can be made from sport to real-world.
So thank you Sean from us fans who truly appreciate your contribution to the Spurs family.

Bonner's voice is mehhhhh. Doesn't have a nice broadcast personality to me. He was invited to comment on a couple of D'league games that were transmitted on TV and his voice was somewhat annoying TBH.

It'd be funny to see Manu do commentary, and commentate his son's games with us (because of course it'll happen). He can say, "That's a Manu Tres!", a lot.

Sean's relationship with the Spurs and the city isn't just that of a former player in the city where he once played.
He's a homer and his approach to calling games is understandably frustrating to neutrals and fans of other teams, but Sean's homerism comes from a very long and very positive history with the Spurs and the city of San Antonio that has gone well beyond just basketball.

TBH all home team commentators tend to be homers so I have no problems in hearing Elliott be this way. For example my home team the Hornets color guy Dell Curry tends to be biased towards the Hornets. I have also heard Clyde Drexler and Tommy Heinsohn be super homers towards the Rockets and Celtics. I think part of the reason why Sean is hated by neutral fans it has to do with the fact the Spurs have been good for so long and Sean just reinforces it when he calls the games. Elliott to me sounds the best out of all other team commentators in the league.

Sean is awesome. Met him at a Texas vs Kansas State game in Austin a few years ago. He was sitting a few rows in front of me with his hot wife and at halftime I said hey to him as I was walking back up to my seats. He was kind enough to stop and talk to me for a couple minutes after I told him I was a huge Spurs fan from San Antonio. Really nice guy tbh.
He's a massive homer as a broadcaster though.

He was very funny as a player as well. My college roommate was a knicks fan, but I was constantly watching the spurs and they would do all of the pregame shows all the time and Sean's antics converted my roomie to spurs fandome. Particularly funny was this one time he was imitating Will Perdue making his bangs blow around whenever he would exhale while on the court. He put his hand on top of his head and wiggled his fingers to imitate Will's hair getting blown around and all the other spurs were cracking up, and as a viewer you were like, "oh yeah, he does do that!!!!" Been fortunate enough to meet him twice, true gentleman both times, and OP'S nailed it. ....no other broadcast tandem comes close.
Sean Elliott is the fucking man, was my favorite player growing up and the one I "was" when we were out playing in the driveway.
How'd that kidney transplant go and did your brother ever recover?

He was a Blair fan as well. He's a fan of everyone on the team except Tony Parker.

I disagree. He's appropriately homerish, as a Spurs broadcaster, but he's always quick to call out good calls against the Spurs, sometimes even missed calls that should have gone against the Spurs, and he's always on point with his knowledge of opposing teams and very complementary of them, even if they're getting crushed in that particular game. And most importantly, he's intelligent and doesn't sound like a fucking moron like most retired athletes-turned-commentators. He also seems to be getting better over time.
To the OP, I was going to make a thread like this, but you beat me to it.

He's a homer. He'll say "refs missed that I think but hey, I didn't see nothing". Imagine Marv saying that.

Not sure if this is a troll job or what.
I love Sean the basketball player. Hard to say a bad word about the guy given his place in team history. I've never had the pleasure to meet him, but I'll take everyone's word that he's a nice guy.
As a broadcaster, he's terrible and I listen to the away feed just to avoid him quite often. He wins out over broadcast teams like the Rockets and Lakers goons, but otherwise he's brutal.
He cackles like a mental patient way too often. His speaking voice is horribly annoying. His "why didn't they do everything exactly right on that play" whining is also grating.
I like that he's maybe the only one besides Pop to take potshots at Tim. And even though he's a homer, at least he's a homer for the right team. And he's a Spurs legend.
But as a broadcaster, he sucks.
Blue Duck
11-09-2015, 09:19 PM
Agreed!!!!! That's it exactly, when the spurs get away with one, he doesn't try to pretend it didn't happen, he makes a joke about it. Anyways, it's the spurs broadcast team, this isn't football, every team has their ex-player analyst and play by play guy. When I was in high school, it was ex spur Coby Dietrich, not quite as funny.

Y'all think Seans a homer? I had league pass when sometimes all you got was the other teams announcers. Jesus, Dominque in Atlanta? Or the Kings? Not only are they homers, but there morons. Spurs in top 3 broadcasting. If memory servers correct Boston and Memphis good too. The rest is piss poor gobbilty gook.
Hell its ok to be a moron as long as your entertaining. TNT broadcasts are entertaining. Most of the announcers are morons, boring, and just plain dumb asses. Bill and Sean are cash money.

It's context dependent. You shouldn't be comparing him to Marv Albert because Marv does national broadcasts in which he is required to be objective. He also didn't play for an NBA team for 11 years and win a championship with them as a major contributor. How could someone do that and not be biased?

Have no idea what you're disagreeing with since you're using "he's a homer" as a defense.

Sean's "homerism" has always reminded me a bit of Bill Simmons (not on broadcasts though, couldn't stand the guy on TV). Definitely a homer, but self-aware enough of it to make it a bit tongue-in-cheek. And like Simmons, his humor and knowledge of the game make it an entertaining personal trait rather than overwhelming annoyance.

Elliott to me sounds the best out of all other team commentators in the league. I always enjoy Warriors, Lakers and Clippers announcers ... although especially the Clips guys got more annoying with each year of the Paul/Griffin era ... but I guess with success comes the homerism (well, tell that to Heinsohn tbh)

Clyde is annoying as hell.

You sound like a guy who wears a condom to jerk off. WTF "false dichotomy"? The game's over - and you have a paper to write before class tomorrow.
Sean is a homer, plain and simple. That means he's biased in favor of the Spurs. And he doesn't deny it. Hell, it's a running joke with him and Land. Yeah, he's capable of admitting that the Spurs get a break from the refs sometimes. And he'll look at a replay, and admit that he was wrong. But he almost ALWAYS sees it in the Spurs' favor first. And he'll always say that if the Spurs are unselfish, and move the ball, and don't try to get "too cute" - they'll win every single game.
The difference between him and some other hometown announcers is that he will break down the Spurs' mistakes, instead of always blaming the refs. And even when he's wrong with what he sees, his comments are based on good sound basketball knowledge. Some of those other guys just make ridiculous shit up.

:lol Thinking false dichotomy is some arcane term...it's a very common fallacy. Like saying someone is either a homer or unbiased. I'm just saying, he's not that bad. Now quit thinking about my masturbation habits, that's just weird.
Maybe he's actually right to praise the Spurs as much as he does? It's almost like he's talking about the winningest franchise in pro sports - oh wait, he is.

Sean is a homer but I love his takes. I think he really does a good job of breaking down plays and giving relative criticisms where necessary. But I also love the passion for the home team. I remember when the Spurs played OKC and Blair was going for a massive 20/20 game and the refs fouled him out on a BS call. Sean was so pissed he couldn't do the commentary. He had to apologize. I dig that as a fan. If I want Lebron/GS Ill watch TNT or ESPN.

Of course Sean is going to seem even more biased because of his Spurs ties...
But the Spurs play a great style of basketball and there is always so much to appreciate and praise, so it seems maybe even more enhanced.
It the Spurs sucked and he was bigging them up, then yea you could claim strong homerism, but I never got that impression.
I do think, his opinions might alter the narrative of the game though.
Entertaining and genuine, I generally enjoy the Spurs broadcasters.

This year he seems to be starting off slow. He's never been Harvard-articulate, but he seems to stumble and fumble a bit more than normal this year.

Sean is a nice guy IRL, I've known him for a long long time, but he's a massive homer. It's like you're watching TV with a friend instead of listening to game analysis.
The best color commentators are previous players of said team and homers imo (any sport). Their job is not to appease fans of the opposite team by verbally handjobbing each team equally and saying "YES!!!!" when the other team scores. Their job is to make the game more interesting/exciting, and make you feel like your team is good or great or has a great future.

I love Sean and Bill
I always hate when the spurs play up north in the winter because sean usually never makes the trips and we get some backup commentator guys.

He also does provide more insight than most commentators IMO.

As long as Sean has his video fireplace back in the hotel room we'll be alright.
