Who Are The Best "Former Player Analysts"?

[THE MACHINE]

Paulie Malignaggi is low key really good at calling the sweet science

 

[Henry Orbit]

Undisputed is at it's best when they have Shannon break down football games with another ex-player on set, it makes Skip look even more foolish when he puts his two cents in

I like Romo too, even though people don't like when he calls out the play before it happen

Shaq really took a great spot from Webber on the TNT crew. Webber or Gary Payton would've been great full time.

I like Chauncey too - but he is TRASH on draft night. Some of his comparisons were just

Dell Curry is hilarious. Dude will be enjoying a casual, day ending with y hornets blowout with a drink in his hand then out of nowhere someone will ask "what does ******** need to do in order to improve his game?" then Dell is straight with his breakdowns on players. Someone asked his take on Buddy Hield being the next great shooter in the league and I swear he turned his mic off to hit the blunt before responding

 

[Lord Beasley]

Jalen Rose honestly has a lot of correct takes but no one really gives him credit

I remember he was the first person last year to say Bron was really considering LA

He also was the first one to say Kawhi was getting fed up with the Spurs

I think Jalen just annoys the hell out of alot of people

Annoying cuz he stays winning

 

[Spaceman Piff]

Who?

jay glazer is my guess

 

[ProlificLurker]

Brent Barry.Way better than his brother.

Thought both brothers were way better as analysts than players, Jon especially. Had a way better career callin games than he did actually playin them

 

[Juven]

Fox has some good ones

I like canty, Bart scott, Stephen Jackson , d hall

 

[ProlificLurker]

Cwebb (like others have said no game calling tho)
Zeke
Greg Anthony
Grant Hill
Jalen Rose
Bill Walton
Tim Legler

Reserving future spots on this list for Jason Terry and Vince Carter. Distant future addition, CJ Mccollum

 

[daboywonder2002]

Who?

Cole wright from total access

 

[BrehWyatt]

In terms of calling games, the list starts with Tony Romo.

In terms of studio analysts/talking heads? I like Riddikk, Moss, Shannon Sharpe and Steve Smith.

 

[NYC Rebel]

The bald headed dude that looks like a melaninated Cailou that covers the NFL. Dude be killing it.

 

[Spence]

No love for Romo?

Most people outside of Houston don’t get to hear commentary from Calvin Murphy, Clyde Drexler, & Matt Bullard but they have really good insights. Hopefully Bullard can get some network run as I’m sure that’s what he’s aiming for eventually, hasn’t gotten the call to the big show yet.
