After watching the previews for the new Shaq reality TV show on ABC, after the Finals, I may never watch ABC again.
I want to throw my remote through my TV every time they show that overhead camera angle. You can't see what's going on in the game and it makes me nauseas. Whoever is producing that giant pile of that they call a broadcast should be handcuffed to a chair and forced to watch the entire game from that god awful angle without the benefit of dramamine.
If they want to show a replay from that angle, fine. I'd love to see it AFTER gameplay has stopped. But they are absolutely killing me with that thing during the game. If I had no rooting interest in the game, I would've changed the channel myself. I don't understand it. Are they purposefully trying to piss off the people watching the game? Who enjoys that ?
SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!!!

NO !!!!! I HATE that stupid camera.......its irritating.
Pretend this is my television............
Yep! Yep! that is stupid, Shaq will do anything to distract the attention the Spurs are getting!
But... but... CAVEMEN
I have to admit, I'm gonna give that show a chance. It could be funny.
I really hate that camera when there's a fast break, and it just can't keep up. So you have no idea what's going on.
the crew for ABC really sucks, TNT is WAAAAAAAY better but i do like their introductions to the Finals. it makes it seems more important and i'm always for more montages.
they pump me up! ha ha.
I've seen the pilot. It's not.I have to admit, I'm gonna give that show a chance. It could be funny.
I give it 3 episodes before it's canned.
Anyone I watch the games with seems to hate that damn camera angle, me too.
I dislike the camera angle, but I absolutely can't stand this crew. Breen is milquetoast as far as I'm concerned, but he's hardly the most difficult listen on the ABC crew. I don't need a homeristic take on things -- I understand the need to pay some extra attention to one team at certain points in time -- but I absolutely cannot stand Mark Jackson's takes on the game.
Aside from being completely wed to hyperbole, Jackson is ridiculously inconsistent with his explanation of things. I'm glad that Van Gundy is willing to call him (and Breen) out on those things from time-to-time, but color commentary should never get to that point -- particularly not with a crew calling a league's championship series.
At this point, I'd rather listen to Hubie Brown.
Jackson's idiocy is almost worth it to hear Van Gundy own him.
Van Gundy rocks this clubhouse.
TNT's crew is better than ABC's anyday. TNT makes it more exciting and they know drama!!!
Van Gundy is the only guy worth keeping. and i actually like the camera-angle.
Now you're Mark Jackson. Your commentary is correct a low percentage of the time and you're making incorrect calls on plays in the painted area. If I'm ABC I want to go out and hire someone with a high basketball IQ who hustles to the call.
My wife likes it. I hate it...
Is it better in high-def?
Maybe 3-D?
I hate the camera as well. I also hate Mark Jackson. Honestly, I don't understand how he is able to talk, what with the Cavs' rammed down his throat.
I used to think Tom Tolbert was a ing moron, but that dude don't hold a stupid candle to Mark Jackson.
I think I'd rather listen to Mike Tyson explain quantum physics over a bullhorn in a ing wind tunnel.
Your 100% right. I hate that angle you can't follow the game at all! Plus, they have a Cavs cheerleader in Mark Jackson, which is annoying to me, and I'm a Cavs fan! Plus, It should be Breen and Hubie Brown, why would you have 2 rookies doing color of the Finals? I love Huebie though, he is the most professional, non-biased guy in the NBA.
I wish all NBA games were done by TNT period. Also, I got tired of seeing how close all those people were sitting and standing on the playing floor last night. They even blocked the TV field of view. They are almost on the court and somebody will get injured someday because of it.
The Cavaliers play so horribly, anything ABC does is not even comparably.
you thought SPurs play ugly? Cavs are murdering the NBA.
I was thinking that on some of the close-outs on 3 pointers, they could turn an ankle
Yep. People want to blame it all on the Spurs, but the fact of the matter is the ABC production sucks. From Jackson and Breen talking out of their ass from tip to buzzer to the choir sound effects bull (whoever thought of that should be canned, tarred and feathered), to Michael Wilbon being a pansy ass Lebron nutsack rider instead of impartial analyst, to that horrible overhead motion camera, their whole production sucks donkey balls.
I'd watch the games on mute if it weren't for the fact it's fun listening to Van Gundy own those two clowns every time they open their mouths.
When Bowen wiped out and they had to stop play, it was because he took one step backwards after he shot his three and stepped on someone's drink in the first row. It was literally inches from the out of bounds line.
ABC/ESPN basically mails it in on these telecasts. Why should they put a ton of effort into broadcasting to the country that makes up only 10% of its audience?
Not to mention they already have the ad revenue lined up far in advance.
