Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

http://thebiglead.com/?p=986The ReplacementsDan PatrickMike WilbonMark JacksonI like Jackson, but this is BULLSH*T. I will still watch it because I am obsessed, but Legler/Anthony/Smith/Saunders were awesome, and they gave great insight. You may not like Stephen A (I do), but he does know what he's talking about, no matter what you say about the tone of his voice. Anthony was pretty good, but I will miss Tim Legler. He was great.Once again, this is BS.

 

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

If this is true, then the show will suck now. I thought Stephen A. MADE that show entertaining. Without him, it's going to be compelte garbage. Dan Patrick just is too monotone for me, and Jackson just sounds too fake sometimes to me.The original crew had good chemistry, knew what they were talking about, and most importantly they were entertaining to watch. I know Patrick, Jackson and Wilbon worked a few ABC games in the studio towards the end of last year (and I believe during the playoffs if I'm not mistaken), and it was just excruciatingly painful for me to watch them.

 

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

very, very true. this is some stupid BSthe NBA shootaround was perfect even with that sh*t face Stephen A.Legler/Anthony/Saunders/(maybe even Stephen A.) = :rock:

 

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

This sux hard. I like Wilbon, Patrick, and Jackson but I love the Anthony, Legler,and Smith. They are all some of my favorite analyst. I would rather see these 3 once every sunday analysing the games, like normal.

 

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

Doesn't really bother me, I never watched a whole lot of the pregame and halftime shows. I change the channel. Only thing, I think it was pretty clear Anthony was leaving though, seems like he wants a job in a front office somewhere.

 

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

I never watch ShootAround so I dont care.I hate Stephen A. anyways

 

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

I ALWAYS watch all the pregames. This is a horrible move.Rediculus.

I'm going to miss Stephen A. and Greg Anthony arguing, then Tim Legler shutting them up with a good point. That show was very entertaining.

 

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

I don't really care since when I did watch it they seem to be really biased on their picks and go on hype too much. I think TNT does a better job.

 

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

Im glad they got rid of that annoying little dirtbag named Stephen A Smith. if he'd talk like a normal person everyone would release he is a moron. most everything he says is stupid but because he yells it a lot of people think he is important. I don't like the replacements but Im glad Smith is gone.

 

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

Oh, lol I didn't even know what NBA shootaround was. Oh well, they should add smith with wilbon, patrick and jackson though, so we have A REALLY LOUD. ANNOYING. BLACK. MAN.

You only dislike him because he raises his voice. This was a prime example. Stephen A. is a very knowlegable guy, and like or dislike his tone, he knows what he's doing and he brings a unique character. He's a good analyst, he works very hard, he's funny, and he gets his point across. Maybe he yells a little, so what. You pick apart his knowlege just because you don't like his tone of voice.

 

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

I've only seen about 20 pregames and halftime shows so it doesn't really bother me... although the 4 they had were great analysts, I see no need to replace any of them

 

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

Who actually watched NBA Shootaround? Mike Wilbon doesn't know a damn thing about the NBA, I would be a better analyst.

And I agree, Wilbon knows close to nothing about basketball, or any sport for that matter. He knows bits and pieces from every sport, but he's nothing special.Dan Patrick - F him. He's he most boring guy. This show isn't going to be half as fun to watch anymore. Smith/Anthony/Legler were awesome. They each had a lot of basketball/NBA knowlege, and they were very funny and entertaining.The only one I like is Mark Jackson. Not only was he an excellent player, but he knows what he's talking about and he follows the league closely. But either way, I think Smith/Anthony/Legler were great, and this show isn't going to be close to as good without them.At the very least, they should have kept Tim Legler.

 

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

The reason I like Stephen A. is because me and alot of my friends can relate to him. Sometimes when I watch his show I could just imagine myself up there talkin sports with him because unlike most ESPN guys listening to Steven A is more like talking sports with your friends then it is watching just another sports show. Anyway on to the topic I agree this is a bad move.

 

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

Good, I was getting tired of stupid Tim Legler and even though I do like Stephen A Smith and Greg Anthony...Im a big fan of Dan Patrick and Mark Jackson is cool. So I don't really have a problem with this.

 

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

damn. patrick's not even an nba fan. he's just the universal guy.

Re: Saunders, Anthony, Legler, and Stephen A. won't be doing NBA Shootaround anymore

Whatever, Shootaround sucked with them, it'll suck with these guys too. As far as national television goes it's, TNT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ABC>ESPN.
