1 of America's Top Sports Talk Show Hosts

Listen to Lee Hamilton off and on. He's pretty full of himself and fairly incompetent like most media, but he's not that far off on this article.

1. Yes, as is the requirement to be in SoCal radio, he is a Laker Brownozer. Not nearly as severe as other thos, notably the gagging "Loose Cannons." Vic the Brick Jacobs, ex Faker Mic e Thompsan etc.

2. I agree with Kori, i doubt Leonard is bummed about coming to the Spurs. He may be bummed about *dropping* to 15 tho. Altho that is a joke, Leonard is not all the kool aid drinkers are hyping him up to be. This years draft is one of the most weak assed in memory so even **if** he would have gone higher, he's not all that. Lets hope he developes.

This part of the article is very true:
Maybe it was Leonard's frame, and the question if he could be an explosive leaper, going against bigger and more athletic power forwards. Maybe it was the lack of a true offensive game, outside shooting to the point. Maybe the put back baskets he got against BYU or others in the Mountain West Conference teams, would wind up as blocked shots and rejections against the leapers down around the block in the NBA.

Lee Hamilton takes himself so seriously that he does that "Breaking News" thing (with accompanying music) like he's delivering his tidbits from a soundproof room at the Pentagon. He embodies the smug disposition of SoCal radio personalities, who exude an air of superiority, as well as incredulity when their teams lose...namely the Lakers.

And I totally agree with Fabbs, in that 99% of LA radio personalities are incorrigble in their purple and gold love, and in their inability to see clearly on any NBA-related topic. As Fabbs pointed out, the list includes the "Loose Cannons," Vic the Brick Jacobs, the ever-so-smug Michal Thompson, etc. But by far the worst of them all is John Ireland, who in addition to looking like an alien, has the most annoying voice in the history of radio waves. How John Ireland has a job in sports is indeed the eight wonder of the world.

"You're right, this aging Spurs team is obviously trying to cling on to past glory. Kind of like a pathetic sports writer who wears a horrible toupee to cover up his melon head, to make an abstract comparison."
