Stockton isn't the brightest bulb in the fixture, but he's one of the greatest PBP guys, EVER.
1994 was when Sean came back from the kidney...?
Dumb dumb dumb.
Stockton isn't the brightest bulb in the fixture, but he's one of the greatest PBP guys, EVER.
Old age comes with the privilege of being allowed to up once in a while. He's still much better than most of the play by play guys out there today.
Stockton is pathetic.
He USED to be good.
Put him out to pasture already for christ sake.
Still better than 90% of PBP guys out there. He's forgotten more than that subs ute stiff that the Spurs use ever knew.
I thought of you tonight TPark on my drive home, listening to the beginning of the Sean tribute. They re-ran the last play of game 5 vs NY, where Sean trapped Spree under the basket, and they didn't use the Jay Howard PBP. I knew that would piss you off.
Stockton was calling the Finals games in the 80's like LA vs Boston series on CBS.. He's the first commentator I ever heard and although he may be a bit past his prime, he's one of the most knowledgeable NBA pay by play men in NBA history.
If you're not Pat Tallman or Jay Howard, TPark thinks you suck.
Ex, that wouldn't have pissed me off.
It pisses me off when morons try to say Schoening is decent, or OK.
Once again, Stockton being good in the PAST, doesn't mean now.
Bill Land is pretty good.
Dave Barnett was THE BEST. Dave Barnett rocked on play by play.
Stockton is a great commentator eventhough he calls Manu "Mano".
of course.If you're not Pat Tallman or Jay Howard, TPark thinks you suck.
Listening to Beno Udrick Mano Ginobili all night is fantastic.
Take what I say to extremes, what ingever.
I agree that they coule do better than Schoning. I'm just happy they got rid if that guy with the huge nose a couple years ago, he really sucked.
If Stockton was still any good, he'd be working for one of the major media market teams, or network.
It is possible to respect the contribution he has made to basketball and still acknowledge that he's reminding us a lot of Hank Aaron and Muhammed Ali's last performances - a lot of stumbling around, a lot of denial, not much grace.
Stockton still does network games. For Football and the NBA.
I didn't know he was still doing network NBA games.
That part I agree with. Stan Kelly is a tool.If you're not Pat Tallman or Jay Howard, TPark thinks you suck.
He still has it. He made a great quip in the last 4 mins when he said the Spurs are keeping it close so the fans have to stay til the end, in order to keep them from leaving and missing Sean's ceremony. Sean liked that and it probably relaxed Sean some.
Oh yeah Jim, Stockton still has it.
Moses,
Id be all for bringing in a young, fresher PA announcer, someone who announces players names with some excitement, unlike Stan Kelly's boring stupid ass .
I am all for that too....sadly...the trend seems to be more annoying PA guys...the Detroit guy comes to mind.
Stockton adds a little class to the small market town that San Antonio represents to the rest of the country. He still does NFL football and most major professional sports on TV.
Even Sean Elliott acknowledged that. What makes all you critiquers so knowledgeable? Whenever I see Stockton doing the game for the Spurs, from up here in the big market East, I always think it's a plus for San Antonio. Like him or not, he carries a little bit of prestige and sophistication with him.
The best S.A. ever had was Terry Stembridge, probably when most of you were in grade school. 'Course, he was on only on radio.
Exactly who I was thinking of when that was said.. BBBBBB BEEEENNN WWWWAAAALLLLLACE!!!! WTF IS that STUTTER ABOUT!!
Can you not express yourself without using profanities?
How about you making a suggestion instead of ridiculing someone.
I think Stockton is great...along with Sean as the color guy.
I personally don't care too much for Lance Blanks. Schoening is so-so as a radio guy....I remember in the 80's Sam Smith...I liked him quite a bit on radio.
I do not think TPark can do any type of retort without using profanities....you just have to accept it.
He makes a few mistakes, but Stockton's voice conveys excitement for the game. Bill Land is ok. Lance Blanks makes me sleepy.
TV play by play guy??
If I were the Spurs, id give Dave Barnett whatever hes making plus whatever it would take to get him to do play by play.
That shows your level of intelligence right there of course.I think Stockton is great
So when did Manu change his name to Mano, and Udrih change his name to Udrick
QUESTION[/QUOTE]
Sam Smith was good, as was Dave Barnett.
