National commentators, such as ABC, should always strive to be fair in their commentary. Homers are for local, hometown broadcasts where the audience is also from the team's hometown.
Cooper, stfu.
Check under 6/9 Michael Cooper section.

"C'mon Magic!! Where's your Laker Pride?!"
He said Magic needs to always show his Laker pride no matter what and stop faking it just because he's on the round table on abc, lol he pwned Magic.

Mchale sure as doesn't hide his biased toward Celtics so why should Magic
Cooper
One of the worst homers IMO
If Heinsohn could be professional enough at CBS during our redemption in '85 & '87, Magic can as well. I just don't know why either Heinsohn or Johnson would want to put themselves in that agonizing position. Neither needed the money. There is no ing way if I was Magic that I could sit there with McHale and converse in a civil manner as if nothing ever happened.
These current Lakers/Celtics........phhhhhhttttt........they pose over the blood letting of yore, but, aside from Wallace they're ain't a grain a genuine hate twixt 'em.
Does Shawn iot ring a bell?
Coop is the worst

Doubt it.
I'll admit that Sean is a big homer, but he isn't on nationally and he's on more for the locals. I think how Magic handles himself is great. Of course he is a little biased, but that's ok. I still respect him because he conducts himself as not being a total homer in a national broadcast segment.
I don't mind when guys are homers when they're doing the local telecast (i.e. Sean, Cooper, Clyde Drexler, etc.)

Agreed. I actually have nothing against Sean. Good guy and admire him when he went through his health crisis several years ago.

Coop is awesome. It would be nice if KCAL added him to the mix. I get a little bored with Jim Hill and Worthy.
Why did Riley deserve a swift kick in the ass after coaching the Lakers during their most glorified era?
Cooper Rocks...I Rock Too...
Magic is a horrible commentator period. He's adds nothing, and every other sentence from him is a reference to his playinng days.
As much as I love Buck (Earvin), I am afraid your right. Commentating is not his strong suit.

Who rocks more? Cooper or Vic the Brick!!?! lol
Feeling you!
Vic the brick is da man!
He's an interesting guy that Vic is. Strong east-coast accent loving on the Lakers?
Hmmm....

Vic the Brick and Michael Cooper are gots.
Magic ain't the most articulate guy, but he's clearly better suited for national broadcast than Cooper.
Luva,
You don't have a little love for Riles? He's still part of the Laker fabric don't you think?
Nothing but love for Riles the Laker. But his 90s Knicks/Miami teams were abortions to the game of basketball.
Sean Elliott is brutal .... definitely up there with Tommy Heinsohn and that Portland Trailblazers crew .....
Does Shawn iot ring a bell?
man, we are truly blessed to have/had Vin Scully, Chick Hearn, Bob Miller and Spero ......

Shoots! I remember that now. It's coming to me.
I can understand your bitterness a little more now and being that he indeed did say that, he's gonna have to crawl on his knees for forgiveness should he ever want "in".
I guess I am more dissapointed in him more than anything. Riles was King of L.A. back in the 80's along with Magic.
Poor judgement on Riles end for saying something stupid like that.
Nicerun by Miami but to compare Miami or say they were better than showtime?........GTFO. That's blasphemy.
Cooper is an idiot. You're not supposed to be biased in broadcasting. In the case of Johnson, we know he's inherently biased and yet he makes no effort to conceal that fact. He said a while ago, "we" when talking about the Lakers. Every time Scott asks who the game at hand is more important for or which player it's most important for to step up, he mentions the Lakers or a Laker. He did so last game despite the fact that no one in their right mind could have made a case that it was more important for the Lakers. How much more biased does Cooper want him to be? On top of that, he's not even a good analyst. I know he's an all-time great and most people like him, but ABC/ESPN are embarrassing both themselves and the league by having him on their panel.
In general, their coverage is sub par. I know TNT has got the better, more entertaining talent, but still, ABC is home to the finals and the best they can do is Scott, Wilbon, Barry and Johnson? Brutal. Scott and Wilbon sit there kissing Johnson's, the Lakers, Bryant and James ass non stop and Barry just might be the most unlikable on air broadcaster/analyst covering the NBA.
