SPURRRRRRRRRRRS BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Hey George Hill, if this back up point guard thing doesn't work out, how's your announcing abilities?
SPURRRRRRRRRRRS BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
I don't understand the S. Kelly hate.
I like Stan Kelly. He sounds like San Antonio. He's not just some generic anouncer.
However, I can see the majority of posters prefer generic.
THEY GOT RID OF THAT LAST YEAR!
How many time does that have to be stated?
He sounds like San Antonio? WTF? How does someone sound like San Antonio?
Dude sucked when it came to announcing the line up, his voice was too nasally and he wasn't great at pumping up the crowd either.
It shouldn't be the PA announcer that pumps up a crowd!
That seems like too tough a task for any announcer anyway, to pump up the AT&T Center.
What?
All PA announcers do it.
He's already there; that's Big Kev the timeout festivities dude
All of you Chris haters can breathe a sigh of relief.
Seriously
I liked Stan Kelly.
But I might also like his replacement, so will just have to wait and see.
So long as it isn't Avery Johnson.
Stan's voice doesn't bother me as much as it seems to bother some of you. Maybe because I'm on League Pass and don't hear him as often as local fans might. His voice is nasally, and can get whiney, but to me he's the voice of the Spurs. If he's gone, I'm sure I'll eventually associate the new voice with them.
So how many of you cheering at his alleged release even go to games regularly to listen to him? Brutalis? Don't you live in Arkansas?
Stan Kelly is fine ... I've heard A LOT W-W-w-w-worse. I'll never understand the irrational, over-dramatic hate for him that's always displayed here.
I mean, what is supposed to get the crowd going is the play of the team, or whatever little show is put on during timeouts and breaks. It seems, by the previous comments made in this thread, that nobody wants a PA that tries to become part of the show, i.e. John Mason.
I'm almost fully acclimated to Schoening as the radio voice. I was a huge Jay Howard fan.

I wish Schoening was the replacement for Kelly.
Schoening is awesome!
schoening still sucks ass. For a pro play by play man he has wayyyyy too many hems and haws and dead air.
If they replace stan with some obnoxious pa guy i'm done going to games
Stan has been around so long and at so many venues that folks in South Texas are used to him. He is the PA guy for the UT Longhorns basketball games, the SA Missions Baseball games, plus other events...plus his radio gig. I personally enjoyed Pat Tallman in the early days of the Spurs but Pat was taken from us (cancer). I think Stan had his own battle with cancer that he was able to work through, if I remember correctly.
Stan does not have a classic voice for radio/PA. He is a bit nasally, as has been observed.
One of the distracting things about Stan is that he comes across as nervous and shaky when he is announcing big games. People who have never been to a Spurs game still hear Stan on TV when he is announcing the games. Any PA person's flaws are accentuated when they are on the "Big Stage" of the NBA Finals. The nasal quality doesn't bother me much, since I'm used to his voice. The shakiness is discomforting every time.
I will say that Stan does a solid job, he is very professional, and he has a good understanding of the game, whether basketball or baseball. He keeps it simple and he doesn't trash talk with his tone. Some people like that sort of thing, but as for me, saying something like "Deeee-troiiiiit baaaaassss-ket-baaaaaall" after an opposing team's turnover is very 3rd grader...sort of like "ha-ha.... my ball".
I wish Stan the best if the rumor is true. I respect his professionalism and his longevity.
Is Jay Howard coming back?
the ONLY thing that i like from Stan Kelly was his
"MANUUUU"
who gives a who announces the games? i'm only there to watch some SPURSSSSSS BASKETBALLLLL!!!
"Here comes my pink slip"
aww.....I had no problems with Stan Kelly.
Stan doesn't bother me.
The one that bothered me was when Crazy Lou was around. He was annoying.
manu should announce tell he is well
Stan Kelly is decent, but he does have some great little quips (as stated above) so losing him would be akin to stubbing your toe badly.
Though if they could somehow incorporate Schoening's "That's a Manu tres!" to the live announcing, I wouldn't care what else was being said since that would hold be over.
Come to think of it, while far-fetched and not too well thought out, having the local announce team (Sean and Land) somehow available to the ATT Center fans during the game would be cool.
