    Other than his "Harden travels with the ball...into the lane and scores" stuff.

    I actually like Napier and Jerry for SAC, but I watched them as a boy almost 30 years ago and was shocked that Reynolds is still doing it.

    Eff Houston.

    Mike & Mike rule. And they have come a long way (Barrett especially) in the "homer bitching about the refs" department.

    Man, you guys have some very solid choices, Brown...Miller....Barry...yeah, all qualify, but hands down, any game of any kind that Marv Albert represents..all I can think of is him biting the hooker on the back of the neck, and wondering if his hair thing is going to scamper away...that guy is one useless skin wrapped turd.

    Who's the other guy on the Clippers team? Not the "oh-me-oh-my" dude, the other one. He sucks. Houston's team are just homers lol. Maybe not as bad as the Celtics haha.

    Good call. I hate Reggie's voice and the way he drags on his sentences sometimes.

    Am I the only one who doesn't like Kenny Smith's hype man persona? He's fine at the desk but when he gets excited he's grating.

    obviously anyone calling a lakers home game.

    BUT

    the worst I've heard this year are the home commentators for the Rockets. I don't know wtf these guys are, but in the game i watched every other words they said was 'The Harden Way". after a couple of hrs of that i was ready to kill something.

    harden scores a shitty layup "oh baby..... that's how you do it, The Harden Way!"
    harden gets fouled by someone breathing on him.... "that's putting your body on the line, The Harden Way!"

    "Jesus.... it was unbelievable, and when I see somebody who is wearing one of their shirts.... I think that they're scum too."

    I'd never vote the worst broadcaster off of something like that, I rate them on what their job entails.

    You need to stop thinking about hookers all the time. Marv Albert has a unique voice that keeps him employed.

    This. It kills me because I loved Glide. However, it's like he didn't spend 11 1/2 years here. This city gave him nothing but love, and the franchise turned down better offers to send him to Houston, yet we're nothing to him.

    Last night was brutal.... Mark Jackson and Jon Barry on the same broadcast. Holy shit it was bad.

    And Barry never shuts up. The guy just talks and talks. The play by play guy is irrelevant because he can't get a word in.

    I'm a Georgia Tech fan when it comes to college basketball, but I dislike Jon Barry as a basketball announcer with the intensity of a thousand suns.

    I liked the play-by-play guy OK. The other two, not so much (although that was far from the worst they've been).

    Kenny Smith should never be within 100' of a microphone during a live game broadcast
