I never watch ESPN, but that's mostly because I work during the hours when their commentary programming is aired. I used to like Around the Horn because Woody Paige was an off-the-wall nut job, but even that show was disappointing at times. I don't think the national shows care enough about the details to provide insightful analysis, so they're really not worth paying attention to tbqh. I was struck by this yesterday when Brent Barry was doing commentaryfor the Summer League. He knew only true basketball people would watch an event like that so he dropped insightful little nuggets and strategy routinely throughout the game. You'd never see that on a national broadcast of a regular season game because they have to appeal to the lowest common denominator fan.
