    How would you rate the TNT coverage team?

    (The final scene caught the eye of TNT's studio commentators, notably Charles Barkley: "See, that is one of my pete peeves. You should be able to go and pick out one fan a game, and just beat the hell out of him.")

    Although some of the things they say are way off and don't make sense, I love the show. It's not just about basketball but it's also about the most random stuff, its hilarious. 10/10

    actually kenny smith is a great analyst. i think of everybody at ABC, TNT and ESPN, kenny is the smartest when giving his analyst. i agree with him an awful lot. and he gives better nicknames then anybody in history. (the matrix, the goods, half man half amazing, etc) doug collins is a basketball genius, but hes a commentator.

    compared to ABC and ESPN... george karl, byron scott and greg anthony are all the same. and boring and not that insightful or funny. steven a smith is funny at times but irritating and repetitive at others. he has good opinions though. tim legler is boring and not that insightful. bill lambeer is irritating and rediculously bias and tries and fails to be funny because of it.

    sir charles is halarious most of the time. i love the fact he ALWAYS speaks his mind, although he does take it too far sometimes, he's great. completly original.

    EJ is the best at what he does. very witty and clever. great voice.

    TNTs Team: A+
    favorites: Kenny, EJ, Sir Charles... Kevin Harlem (the best), Doug Collins

    ESPNs Team: C
    favorites: Steven A Smith
    Commentators: Steve Kerr, Sean Elliot Dan Marjle are all funny. i like them. also bill walton

    CBS: B
    favorites: Tom Tobert

    i know i forgot a lot of people i jus cant think right now

    To be honest, I probably would not even watch games on TNT (unless the Heat are playing) if Sir Charles was not there. It was actually rumored that he was going to buy a 5% stake in the Phoenix Suns, but he said he would have to stop being an analyst because he would be biased, which I don't agree with because we always see Magic Johnson and others as guest analysts a lot.

    All the little skits and picture edits and stuff they do with Charles is just classic.

    Actually, Steve Kerr is with TNT. The premier team of commentators that travels to all the big games are Marv Albert doing the play-by-play with Steve Kerr and The Czar Mike Fratello as analysts. I always love it when The Czar and Steve Kerr argue [​IMG].

    Also, CBS doesn't broadcast NBA games [​IMG]. I believe you mean ABC, and their premier broadcasting duo is Al Michaels and Doc Rivers. I also hope you realize that ABC is the sister company of the ESPN and Tom Tolbert, Steven A. Smith, Sean Elliot, George Karl, Greg Anthony, and pretty much all of the ESPN "studio" analysts also do the ABC broadcasts.

    Steve Kerr is by far the best "former player" that commentates

    Yes I too believe steve kerr comentates well. The halftime show and commentators are very interesting. I only dont like to listen To That Walton guy. He just seems annoying to me how he criticizes teams that he thinks are inferior to the teams he likes when he commentates. I mean at least try to make the game interesting. Only my opinion. But Tnt doess a great job i love Kenny, Ernie, Magic, And Barkley

    That edit pic of Ernie being a pimp is a classic. Anybody seen that? I can't remember why they showed that though.

    I like TNT best. The typically show games that I prefer to watch, and the guys that edit those pictures (gone fishin' and ones with charles/smith) are great. I can't stand the ESPN studio crew. The are obnoxious and say some stupid things.

    Steve Kerr is awesome, especially when he talks about all his rings. He's up front about how he just road backseat to Jordan's greatness, and he jokes about it.
