How does Mark Jackson have a job? He is so painful to listen to. Jeff Van Gundy knows his stuff though. The Western color guys are best - C Webb and Reggie Miller. Doris does nothing for me. And nothing beats the Charles, Kenny, Shaq, and Ernie show. The best! Can't believe we don't get them for the Finals. That is really a huge mistake on the part of the NBA.
The announcers are about even, Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson cancel eachother out for being shitty, but Breen and Van Gundy are as good as Harlan and C Webb. But yeah you're right on nothing beating Ernie, Shaq, Charles and Kenny. Espns pre and post show is such a bore compared to them.
Mark Jackson is unlistenable. I like Doris. She is obviously a fan of the game, but remains professional, does her research and asks good questions. Yep, Ernie, Kenny, Chuck and Shaq are always entertaining. A good mix of analysis and buffoonery. Kind of like this forum used to be... BNM
I like Harlan Don Maclean needs an NBA gig. Best Pac 12 color guy. Reggie Miller is ok. However like most super stars Reggie thinks other super stars should get special treatment by the refs. Fuck that. Breen is pretty good JVG is ok but not paired with an antagonist. I do like that he calls the refs out. Shaq is horrible. Charles and Kenny I like. Mark Jackson, Hubie Brown, Doris...all painful. (but knowledgeable) CWeb is getting better each year.
I like Brent Barry and Marv Albert together ...nobody speechifies or gushes over a player..they just call the game
