Somebody's gotta get Bill Simmons off of NBA Countdown

[Alex Cross]

I think the tone for the ESPN crew needs to be more serious like they do with the NFL.

Jalen clowns TOO much and magic doesn't bring shyt too the table.

TNT has the funny angle covered and anything else looks forced and lame.

Nobody's trying to watch a serious panel for the NBA. The audience watching the NBA is younger on average, which is why all three networks (TNT, ESPN, NBA TV) try to go for laughs every once in a while.

the NBA on NBC halftime crew sucked. You probably dont remember most of the people on there.

Tom Tolbert or Jayson Williams or the season they put Bill Walton on the studio team.

I was with you until you said bring Jon Barry back

That brought back clarity real quick

 

[licktheballs]

Simmons has the worst voice for tv

LOL @ shytting on Bill Simmons and then asking for John Barry back who is the smugest prick ive seen be an analyst for the NBA

They need to start from scratch and the first thing they need to find is a host to moderate everything. You can't have fukking Wilbon or Jalen Rose be the host of your show.

They fukked up letting Greg Anthony go too. Him and Legs were a good combo. Throw in a good host and they'd be set.

Racist cac from Boston who hates the lakers and Kobe. Fucc him

He's a Clipper fan though

Real talk, the NBA on CBS and NBC was straight serious 100%... I think TNT accidentally stumbled upon the comedy angle when they acquired Charles Barkely and ran with it. Its brilliant for that crew but it doesn't work for everybody.

If that were true he wouldn't be able to demand ESPN give him his own goddamn site.

Jon Barry is the worst NBA analyst on ESPN. ESPN seem to have a talent for giving terrible TV analysts jobs.
