    Maybe people should stop listening to him... hopefully that would make that fool go away.

    That's hilarious, but also not at all unexpected. Is there a bigger idiot in all of sports broadcasting/journalism?

    Oh please dear god, do NOT let that fool be our new color commentator.

    That's almost impressive. You'd think he'd get at least one right on accident.

    Not a surprise at all. He blathers more to get a reaction than to be correct or informative. The Clownzano of TV.

    Yeah, the funny thing is LeBron has been on the East side in every one of those finals. It's not like he's seeing some big new unknown every year. It's always LeBron and his friends against the best in the West. Even if he'd just picked for, or against, LeBron every time, he'd be batting 0.500. You'd almost have to try REALLY hard to get it wrong every time. Unless, of course, you are just plain stupid. Guess that explains that.

    Easy pattern:
    2011 - SUPERFRIENDS!! Greatest story ever! Surely Lebron will win
    2012 - Lebron let me down last year, so I can't pick him
    2013 - Lebron winning in 2012 was a fluke. These are the Spurs. He can't beat the Spurs.
    2014 - Lebron beat the Spurs last year, so OBVIOUSLY he'll beat them again!
    2015 - NEW SUPERFRIENDS!! Greatest story ever! Surely Lebron will win (for Cleveland)
    2016 - Lebron lost to the Warriors last year, so OBVIOUSLY he'll lose to them again!

    You may have a future in sports analysis.

    Probably not. I don't think my analyst was at work every year and I can't imagine making him work that regular. Sometimes I just pull for what I want,
    too hell with analysis.

    Interestingly enough Mike Rice has been right for the last 4 years.

    So being right doesn't pay.

    We'll have to scour the local taverns to find his prediction next year.

    Just the opposite. With a track record like his, people should keep listening to him...and put their money on the team he doesn't pick.

    He doesn't get paid to be right, he gets paid to be entertaining and controversial . . . one out of two ain't bad.

    Don't care for this guy. Don't listen to him. Don't care he was wrong. Probably why I don't listen to him. I don't like angry yelling announcers.
    He is one of the worst in the game if you ask me.

    I'd hate it if he was actually completely gone. Half of the fun of watching the NBA draft is listening to the Knicks fans brutally heckle him while he's trying to talk.
