He always seems like he's annoyed anytime Simmons says something and like Simmons doesnt have the right to speak on things. :heh:

I noticed that too. Even when he tries to agree with or compliment him, Magic will still seem annoyed with him.

It's actually pretty clear he doesn't like him.

I imagine that most people who know Bill Simmons don't like him.

yeah, Magic gives him the :rudy: without actually doing it.

Between Jalen, Wilbon and Simmons, Bill panders to Magic the least, maybe that has something to do with it. He never really disagrees with Magic or counters his points, but there does seem to be something there. Maybe it's that they just haven't clicked yet.

Yeah me and my nikkas were talking about this the other day. Its like Simmons goes out of his way to try to get Magic to jump onboard with any and all Laker slander. Magic tries to keep it objective, and he has no problems calling the Lakers out on their bullshyt, but this nikka Bill acts like hes not satisfied unless Magic comes out on some "The Lakers are a horrible franchise" shyt...

On their first show together Magic told Bill "You didn't play, so you don't know" (which is some bytch shyt BTW). So yeah, Magic doesn't like him.

Magic is awful. I'd venture to say he's worse than Shaq on ITN.

This is untrue. He has no problem calling out Jerry Buss, but he's definitely still a Lakers homer.

How did Bill Simmons get that analyst job :mindblown:

I will give Simmons this he's a stats geek with a little bit of wit. He makes his points and then uses numbers to back them, Jalen and Magic just say shyt from a former players perspective, I don't know what Wilbon does exactly. Simmons is okay, not the greatest in the world but there's been worse. Also he's has written so many great NBA articles and books on basketball seems like a logical choice.
