He wasn't that way before the team got championship level. Him and Barnett both got more boastful the better the team got; I remember watching this squad during the Baron Davis era and these guys sounded nothing like they do now. A similar thing happened with the Clippers announcing team, particularly Mike Smith.I've never wanted to physically assault an announcer before except for the warriors with Fitzgerald. Arrogant, whiny, stupid, and condescending.
