I agree but think about that for a moment. It seems that most every announcer was all over that game. The fact that the Spurs-Celltics game was a thriller wasn't a factor. All we get most of the season is Kobe this or LeBron that. It's all about ratings and the ad monsy that comes from that. Many years ago I resigned myself to the fact that these announcers are going to give top billing to the large cities or the big "names" that the networks feel will promote the NBA, which would of course allow them to charge as much money as they could for the ad time.
I think it has been said many times that if the Spurs were the Knicks then TD, TP and Manu would be gods in NY and everyone around the nation would know them as great players and fun to watch, not the boring team it has been labeled. NY in all it illustrious time in the NBA has only 2 rings and little ol' boring SA has 4.
Anyway I think Sean is good but not great otherwise he would have stuck with TNT. Mike Breen is a very good one but I think Reggie is on his way out. Just doesn't seem to have what it takes to stick over the long haul.
