    Chick Hearn at 21 is a fucking shame. Fuck this list. It is a fucking joke.

    Absolute travesty...he should be higher on sooo many levels

    1. Inventing the terms fast break, slam dunk, dribble drive, airball...just to name a few
    2. The amazingly unbiased commentary he would provide. You knew if they Lakers were catching breaks and who was sucking
    3. The stories he could give in a mattter of seconds...If a player caught a pass by the time he passed it again you would know his birthplace college, his moms name, and his scoring average...fucking amazing!
    3. His streak of 3,338 games in a row

    This is not a biased view, I have heard many other announcers over the years and only a VERY VERY few are around the same level as Chicky baby. He was a freaking poet




    edit: holy crap...I just noticed something just as bad...Bob fucking Costas at #6?!? Fuck this bullshit rankings!

    Bill Walton made that list?

    They did Chick Hearn a diservice, he is a god in sportscasting.

    And Dick Vitale should be higher, from a impact standpoint.

    Dick Vitale is a joke. His voice makes me cringe.

    I skimmed the list for Ian Eagle and immediately stopped reading it after finding out that he isn't there.

    I didn't read, I skimmed. If I hadn't read your posts I wouldn't know any of the names on it.

    Was Hearn an analyst or play-by-play guy?
