ESPN elevates Tim Legler for #1 Analyst Role & NBA Finals

[King Harlem]

The NBA has a lot of good to great play by play announcers, but there is a lack of good color commentators. Which makes it even more strange for ESPN/Disney to fire Mark Jackson and Nick Van Gundy who were probably two of the best.

I think Breen, Legler, & Salters will be a great group and will stick. They’re all excellent in their own respective ways. Mark Jackson & JVG became a little to me. JVG was right in the things he said, Mark too, but he was always fúcking complaining. They were becoming too pessimistic of the game and that’s why they were bushed. Poor Doris only got 2 years but she’s just so bland & boring my god. They got Doris up there during a 133-107 game in the 4th quarter and wonder why the ratings are ass on some of these “primetime” regular season games.

They fukked up getting rid of Mark and Jeff.

Absolutely 100%. No chemistry has been as good as those 3. I think the NBA got tired of Jeff always complaining, but him and Mark played perfectly off each other.

Low-key I think Mike misses that chemistry. It was never the same when they tried Richard Jefferson and Doris

Good now if they could just keep her and Reggie Miller from calling games together
I have to watch games on mute when them two fuse together like Goku and Vegeta when they commentate with each other

I don't get to hate for Reggie Miller as a commentator. He's entertaining lol

 

[Rick Fox at UNC]

Everyone acting like they are for this were the same ones on Twitter acting like she was better than the men.

Again, pendulum swinging back. Get these low quality identity people out of these positions....QUICKLY.

Tim doing coaches corner now

 

[aceboon]

He's doing guest spots with Bill Simmons's pod this season and he's already the best guest NBA analyst he has on.

 

[Nero Christ]

They need to drop RJ to another team and let Breen & Legler rock as a duo

Jefferson keeps trying to try out his comedy routine rather than just calling the game

 

[CHICAGO]

I SAW ONE GAME
WITH THEM SO FAR
AND I DIDN'T LIKE IT.

TOO MUCH AWKWARD BICKERING
BETWEEN LEGLER AND RJ

Exactly. He reminds me of Hubie the God

 

[MJ Truth]

good case for demoting RJeff too, his voice don't carry enough weight to be calling an NBA Finals

But Tim Legler’s does?

 

[UpAndComing]

But Tim Legler’s does?

Die on a hill to defend Richard Jefferson brehs
