ty take vs ignorant, emotional dramatic take.

I'm not really a pro Kobe kinda guy, I really respect him and a fan of his game. But overall, I am a Laker fan. It could be worst, I could be a Clipper fan who latches on to Lebron so I can get a glimpse of what victory would feel like.

Overall you're a got.

OP here....gonna leave ST after game 6 and go listen to 30 seconds to mars :'(

Magic has called Kirby the greatest Laker ever ...

He did?!
Did he clarify what (in his opinion) *greatest* was supposed to mean?

Good riddance to his ty commentary.

Simmons, Jalen, Burke and Collins will probably be better than the show ESPN had out last season.

Wilbon was a Magic asskisser of the highest order and Magic himself was a worse analyst than even Reggie Miller.

Collins is at least knowledgeable and if Burke doesn't say anything the whole season, she's already an upgrade over Wilbon. For all the (justified) flack Simmons gets for his writing, he at least knows how to host a show (his podcasts are generally OK) and he and Jalen can be entertaining together.

I agree Jalen and Simmons have great rapport but both suck as TV analysts. Podcast is quite diffrent than hosting a half-time show. ESPN really needs to do better if they gonna keep that contract. Although bland, even NBATV is better ... ESPN they are in 3rd place

1. TNT







2. NBATV




3. ESPN

Agree, Although Shaq has ruined the TNT formula. He thinks he smarter, talks over everyone, and constantly interrupts them when they try to make a point with his, "STOP IT!....STOP IT!....STOP IT!"

[baseline bum]

Now if only TNT could dump Shaq's dead weight.

Well, I said they'd be better, but I didn't say they'd be good.

agreed. Shaq makes Cwebb seem like Bob Costas ... Thing was thought Shaq would be funny ... he is not. Maybe he should do a Rappin' shaq bit ...

[Baseline]

As horrible as Magic is...ESPN really thinks Doris Burke is an improvement? You cannot have an unattractive woman as a panelist on your show. It doesn't work that way. Giving Doris Burke more camera time is really unthinkable.

They should ve gotten Sage Steele. The hot black chick that flirts with Jalen Rose.
