    I liked Stan 15 years ago when he didn't sound like a car trying to start on a cold day.

    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.
    Agree

    The one that bothered me was when Crazy Lou was around. He was annoying.

    THEY GOT RID OF THAT LAST YEAR!

    How many time does that have to be stated?
    Several considering I wouldn't know because I'm not in or around SA to attend the games. Nor have I seen it posted.

    If True that is good, his voice is very annoying for the job and i don't get why he was chosen to do it in the first place.

    If you're not in SA nor attend games, why would you care what their intro song was?

    And yes, there were threads made about this when it happened.

    He sounds like San Antonio? WTF? How does someone sound like San Antonio?

    Precisely the point I was trying to make.

    Stan is a wonderful announcer.

    If you can't appreciate it, fine. That's a stick you're going to have to pull out from your own butt.

    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
    No you're not. You'll still be at the same amount of games as you would if they had Chuck Booms doing the PA.

    I've got an inside source that says the new guy is Avery.

    Please do not ask for for any further details.

    Wouldn't the voice of the Spurs be Bill Schoening, or Paul Castro? They do all 82 regular season games and playoff games. Plus they describe the Spurs, Stan just says 3-ball or assist by Tony Parker. or Tim Duncan From Manu!
    I watch on League Pass. I get the opponent's home call more than I get the Spur's. I don't hear any of them as often as locals do. Stan's nasally voice stands out to me.

    If we're talking color and play-by-play guys it's another conversation. The PA guys are in the background for me.

    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.
    Very well said, Solid D, I agree. From my experience with him, he's a good guy and very professional. If these rumors are true, I wish him nothing but the best.

    I like Stan Kelly. I obviously don't know much about him other than the times I've heard him do the introductions or an occasional "Here come the Spurs!" in the background on TV. But his shaky, nasally voice has character. Most of the more well-known PA guys have that quality.

    If he is leaving, I wish him all the best.

    If this is true, I wish him the best............but it's about time! Sure, when you hear his voice, you know its the voice of the Spurs, blah blah blah, but it really was time for a change. What really made up my mind about him wasn't so much hearing him at the games, but when they had the PA announcers say the lineups during the finals, it was embarassing to hear his voice on national TV.

    If Big Kev is really next in line for the job, that would be awesome.

    Really? I liked him a lot- especially during the play offs. He gave great crowd rallying speeches. One team, one goal etc.

    Stan Kelly's voice has gotten worse over the years but I never really cared enough to critique whether he should be fired or stay on board. Although if he is let go, I will kinda miss his corny lines. He stayed out of the way for the most part, which I think a good PA announce should.

    The person who I can't stand is Bill Schoening. I only have to listen to him during preseason but he's so horrible it makes it difficult to listen to. Hopefully in this big overhaul Jay Howard is brought back. Howard, before his ego got out of control, was the best radio play by play man I've ever heard. Plus he was Pop's buddy and Pop let him watch all the practices so he had unmatched inside info.

    Oh and the Pop Shows that were hosted by Howard were by far the best.
