Finally! No more D-D-D-D-DETROIT mason!

[T Park]

Why??

Cause times change.

Update to the times.


Ill be the first to admit it, You go to a game for just the basketall?? Its great.

But if you go for the OVERALL experience??

it stinks.

Crazy Lou is a complete joke, every night i literally wish Chris Duel would come stompin back.

[Beaverfuzz]

Introducing players and stuttering is ok. But when you're stuttering the guy's name while he's shooting a free throw in the 1st quarter, it's gone into ludicrous.


BTW, what's up with introducing each player like it's game 1? I understand games 1, 3, and maybe 6 but that's it. I like Stevie Wonder as much as the next guy, but just have him do the national anthem instead of delaying the game for 5-10 min.

There's a reason why people are tuning out the NBA in droves, trying to glamour up using outside help instead of taking care of the problems in the league is only going to drag the NBA farther down than it already is.

[SpursWoman]

But how can you not like the classic: Spurs Ball. SPURS BALL!!!

(just in case we didn't catch it the first time. Actually, I like it!)

User & I were talking about that the other day amidst all the Stan-bashing. We like that one, too....

[Gatita]

Yes. I get lost when Ga a starts speaking latina.

Your such a tool. There's no such thing as speaking latina.

[Gatita]

That "MEEEEEE-chigan" thing apparently is something a lot of folks do up there. Especially in Ann Arbor.

Pinche mojados.

[tlongII]

Pinche mojados.

What is the english translation of that latina phrase?

[Brandon361]

i love the way he would announce Ben Wallace ... BABABABABABABBABABEEEN WALLACE!!!

[N.Y. Johnny]

Well the Spurs have that too. In the form of "Crazy Lou".

Those people that he goes up to see in the Upper Deck during games should take that twerp and throw him over the balcony.

[E20]

Mason is pretty cool. I wish he was the announcer for the Spurs. Most Spurs fans are jealous because the Detroit intro is pretty cool. Even though they are smashing a Spurs logo, it's pretty cool when the starters say: It's time Detroit.

[Boo]

Especailly THE BABABABILLUPS.. *CHEEKS FLOPPING*

[Shelly]

.

but I've gotten used to that nasally drone that sounds like a cross between a guy losing his voice and holding back tears...it has good memories associated with it now...

.

That's the PERFECT description!

Nails on a chalkboard would be better than Crazy Lou. I noticed he cut that mop.

[SenorSpur]

BTW his first name is John - I believe

[SoundTheToll]

BTW his first name is John - I believe

Yeah. He really isn't a "one-name" guy, like, say, Madonna. It's just that everyone calls him, simply, Mason from his radio show.

[HB22inSA]

You can't tell me you didn't love it when he introduced Tony Parker...

"The 6'2" San Antonio guard, from Paris, France, Tony Paawkaa..."

[Uncle_Rico]

I dont mind the announcer, sounds cool. at least it livins it up. , sbc center could use that because that damn song is played out. the intro has got to go.

i just dont want to hear DEEEETROIT BAAAAASSSSSKETBALL. that's ing gay, just like those championship belts. detroit you can keep those. make sign that says if you have a nba champ belt, you're gay.

[iflyabeech]

I would rather hear "here come the spurs!" than anything out of that Mason guy's mouth. he should be taken out back and whipped!

[Willinsa]

Stan Kelly is so much better than any of the PA announcers out there. Imagine if we had some idiot saying our player's names all ty, with emphasis and stupid stuff like that. I like it simple, no need to exaggerate calling out people's names when they make a basket, cuz in the end, who looks like a ing loser? >>> MASON & HIS TY DEEEEEEETROIT BAAAAASKKKEETBALLLLLLL.
GO STAN KELLY GO

You have got to be kidding Stan Kelly sucks ass, he sounds like a dumbass when he says" Spurs ball" about 4 times over. Also I hate it when he says "They need your help". Stan Kelly should be fired.

[theMUHMEshow]

Its too bad you dont know John Masons real story. He was the first african american to have a #1 rated morning show in Detroit, and he has set standards in todays radio that are almost untouchable for anyone to achieve. He is an icon in Detroit and has been for years. He took a primarly urban station and made it mainstream to a metro area that is made up of upper class primarly white people.

I can see where you are coming from on everything on your list, accept for that.

[JustSpurs]

If you need a lame P.A. guy to get you excited for a Finals game, there is something wrong. Besides....we don't have "Ballaz" as Mason says. We have a classy team...we don't need street cred to pump-up the crowd.

[E20]

On Rasheed's intro, it's pretty cool how he pounds his chest.

[Experiment2100]

Those people that he goes up to see in the Upper Deck during games should take that twerp and throw him over the balcony.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't like that guy.

[Clandestino]

Crazy Lou abso- ing-lutely sucks! He is so annoying.

That's coming from someone who doesn't know Stan Kelly's story. He was born here and got a sweet job. There's some stuff in betweeen, but it is a matter of legend.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

What is the english translation of that latina phrase?

The translation is "I can't speak Mexican Spanish".

[SFSpursFan]

I like this one too... most of the time, I think Stan only says it twice.

I also think he stopped saying "Give 'em some help". I don't remember hearing it at all this year.
