Wilbon on the Spurs

[mingus]

All very true.

There was a time I actually liked and appreciated Wilbon. However over the past few years, I've come to realize just what a "ball-licking" NBA superstar suck up, he really is. He never offers any constructive criticism to any of the game's top players - no matter how warranted it may be. He makes excuses for Shaq, 'Bron, Kobe, Wade, Melo and anybody else that has all-star caliber talent. Sure he can pile on the NBA bag, but otherwise, he's always sucking up to the stars. , he even proudly endorses that most famous of Knicks fans, that runt e Lee.

In fact, Wilbon is such a "kiss-ass", that he's actually made me appreciate and gravitate more toward his partner Tony Kornheiser, a man I affectionately refer to as the "angry white man".

Yup. ESPN needs to copy TNT's formula. Both Kenny and Charles will say anything about anyone. In fact, you want to watch sometimes just to hear what kind of they will talk. It's like ESPN has tried the opposite formula, it's failed for 10 years, and they're still sticking with it.

i liked what they did by bringing in Bill Simmons for that one game. he was broadcasting (they're already pretty good in that area), maybe they should replace one of the studio guys with him.

Duncan used to completely own Garnett.

Does anyone else find it amusing that the media is talking about how the media isn't talking about the Spurs?

They can justify why they don't while simultaneously insulting the team. "Well we would cover them more, Dana, but they're so boring. Their players are good guys and the Riverwalk is a mud hole." They can't do those things if they just cover the team.

Just did a search for "Spurs" on ESPN.com. Of the first fifteen articles listed, two are about the Spurs, and they're game recaps. Most of them are about soccer. The NBA articles are about Rip Hamilton and future NBA dynasties now that the Spurs' window is closing.
