Someone should tell him that he shouldn't use any words that he has to say phonetically. </div> Nah man, he's a really funny anouncer and some of his prases crack me up. He's a bit like Bill Walton in the funny statements he makes during games. But to be honest these two were the only ones that stand out and I mentioned them mainly because of Marv, to me he is the best anouncer in the NBA for both the Knicks and TNT. He just seems to have the prefect voice for calling games.

He's atheletic, strong, physical yet he moves his feet well....he's really one of the more underrated players in the league... the knock has always been his shooting, but he seems to have overcome that now
