I'd rather hear former athletes discuss the sport I'm watching...

...I value their experience more than a regular joe's opinion that hasn't been in the trenches...

Tim Legler is the best NBA dude on that network besides Jalen, he should have a spot on there.

That podcasr network is hit or miss. Of course Jalen's is the best and The Trenches is pretty good. Men in Blazer & Hollywood Prospectus are God awful. What happened to the TBJ show they always had on last bball season?



:cape: :comeon:

I think ESPN stopped fukking with them when they agreed to do some on-air content for NBA network last season. Like pretty much everything on the Grantland Network not produced by internal talent, it exists outside of th grantland umbrella. They've got a daily show, and the friday show that used to be on Grantland every week last season. They usually have some pretty decent talking points, but the friday shows are usually the most entertaining.

I would rather have John Barry than Bill Simmons. Tim Legler would be a good replacement for Simmons as well

Wade County
Let's remember: They wanted Stan Van Gundy, but Stern made a phone call and that was the end of that. He would've been MUCH better than Simmons. Even if you can get past his obvious biases and his lack of inside basketball knowledge, he doesn't seem to mesh well with the others. There's an obvious lack of chemistry. They should just bring Jeff Van Gundy in.
