Kenny Vance has, at best, medium knowledge about pro basketball. Sadly, of all the cities in the country that have a major league team of any sort, Portland probably has the very worst media.
Which is another way of saying he has more knowledge about NBA basketball than John Canzano, Jay Allen, Chad Doing and Gavin Dawson combined. BNM
Jay Allen, Mike Barrett and Brian Wheeler are pathetic Blazer homers.... It is one thing to be pro-Blazer in what you have to say, but these three guys seem incapable of any objectivity when it comes to the Blazers or Nate....I won't listen to the radio anymore and if I can avoid the Blazer telecast, I will....Listening to Barrett & Rice molest Blazer players with praise no matter how good\bad they have played (and it is worse when they discuss Nate) is sickening.... Fans should do themselves a favor and listen to national\opponents telecasts when at all possible...they are much less biased and what a shock! actually point out some valid praise\criticism....The idiot radio and TV duos seem capable of only praise (or excuse making in a loss), no matter what the result. Having listened to Jay Allen, I am convinced he is an idiot who is in over his head....If he dissapeared to whatever obscurity he crawled out from I wouldn't lose a second of sleep about it.... As for Vance, I don't know him personally, but have heard him on the air frequently and he is the ONLY sports personality who knows what the hell he is talking about and the ONLY person who can talk about the Blazers from an objective point of view....and BTW, Vance is SPOT ON the majority of his observations regarding the Blazers.... Having heard him a lot, anyone calling him an a-hole is probably either an idiot who got his a$$ handed to him in a conversation with him or a bigger a-hole....
Having known him for a while, I stand by my posts in this thread. He's a hothead, and he flies off the handle when things don't go his way. I never said he wasn't good radio, though.
