Personally, I think this is out of bounds. Hubie Brown is a winner in life; a legend in the game, and you're a bitter loser -- along with any of the other idiots who posted to that Facebook page.

[Heavincent]

I miss Mark Jackson.

[MalikWadeCounty]

Hubie Brown look like the type of n***a that says n***a alot. As a n***a that says n***a alot, THAT n***a says n***a AAALOT.

[kidachi]

he's larry king old. let him go.

[NumberSix]

Why? Because he actually knows the game?

[EveryManALion]

"Mama there goes that man!"

[vinsanity2756]

a little respect plz for a decent analyst. just wish he didn't say the phrase "namely because" that often.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Hubie is alright with me. Been watching him broadcast since the CBS days. Keeps it simple, doesn't overanalyze, and breaks the game down well for casual basketball fans.

[jbryan1984]

I don't like his style of announcing. Very dry. But, he is very well respected in the industry. People listen to his opinions.

[fatboy11]

Hubie Brown has forgotten more about the game of basketball than anyone posting in this thread has ever known or will ever know about the game.

And it isn't an announcer. Michael Buffer is an announcer. Hubie Brown is a color analyst.

[Crown&Coke]

Hubie knows his shit.... tells something about the game not the casual fan would notice. Would rather hear his boring voice than Van Gundy and Jackson taking turns agree and disagreeing with one another, then blowing each other on air, and Breen just pointed out what the other two are doing

He butchers names, thats the only gripe I got

[rule1223]

van gundy is the GOAT color commentator, never fails to bring the lulz

agreed. most recent one was the other day in the heat-mavs game when he was ranting about the league pass. it was funny..

This.

Mark Jackson >>>>>>>>>>> Hubie Brown
Also Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy >>>>>>>>>>>>> Hubie Brown

Hubie sucks. Boring as hell.

[FindingTim]

I'm shocked by the internet hatred toward Hubie Brown and Jeff Van Gundy.
They are both incredibly smart and incredibly insightful.
Perhaps they are so brilliant that your small minds cannot comprehend them. It's like a cow trying to make sense of an airplane.

Pearls before swine at its best.

[DuMa]

wow awful thread. hubie is one of the best. hes a straight shooter, doesnt fluff up a guy and doesnt hesitate to put down a guy. i like his views. hes been doing for so long that hes virtually mr. consistent. when you grew up with his his voice in the background, it just kinda makes basketball more enjoyable. timeless guy really

mark jackson was horrible. just horrible. shame on you people for comparing mark jackson to hubie.

[fatboy11]

I miss Hubie on the NBA drafts. I miss the whole TNT crew on the draft, to be honest. But, I'm sure it would be less enjoyable now since they'd just have their new all-star crew yucking it up the whole time. It was great when it was Ernie, Hubie, John Thompson, Pitino/Majerus, David Aldridge, Cheryl Miller, and of course....Sager.

Exactly. I'd rather listen to Hubie break down a play and point out strategic points of a game that I normally wouldn't notice than "hand down, man down! ", "that's a grown man move!" or "mama there goes that man!" every 5 minutes from Mark Jackson.

[Clutch]

Hubie is knowledgeable,no one can deny that.

But when someone's every second sentence begins with "Player X shot 37% from 3 last season" or "Player Y grabbed 7.8 rebounds per game last season which is 0.6 more than he did season before" then he's boring.

Sorry,but all that guy talks about is stats and if I want to see some player's stats I will go to nba.com and check by it myself.

Hubie Brown forgot more about basketball while taking his morning dump than you'll ever know.

[dajadeed]

Give me Hubie Brown any day of the week. The guy knows more basketball than 99.9999 percent of announcers out there. He's getting a bit up there in age, but has always been one of my favorite announcers.

If you're turning into basketball and need the color analyst to "make it exciting" for you, well then maybe you need to be watching something else. Hubie Brown is one of the better ones out there, kids. Learn something.

[9512]

I always liked Hubie as a color analyst. His insights goes beyond describing player movements but goes on introspectively and insight fully.

hes boring and says every shot is 'way off'

[senelcoolidge]

I love listening to Hubie, he's so knowledgeable of the game. He forgets more than most others will ever know about basketball.

[keepinitreal]

come on now

Mark Jackson > Hubie Brown

Deal with it.

[BIG FURB]

I can't believe there are people that don't like Hubie as an analyst. Kids nowadays

[fatboy11]

Mark Jackson > Hubie Brown

Deal with it.

In what ways?

I'm curious.

This should be good.

Mark Jackson was an idiot. He made some of the dumbest comments imaginable.

[cuad]

Hubie's great if you're fourteen years old and think he's spilling gospel, but when you get to my age, twenty, you start thinking that maybe he's just kind of senile at this point.

fukking right !

[rigor]

Hubie is a living thesaurus of basketball. He'll give you more insight on the game/plays than any other announcer. Kids are dumb.

no, quite the opposite, i want him to shut the hell up.........don

[fatboy11]

:roll: @ "when you get to my age, twenty" and acting like that is some wise age.

Know your role, young man.

If you think what he's saying isn't spot on, it shows your lack of maturity/intellect about the game of basketball. He may sound senile when he's naming a player, but what he says about the game and what is going on is about as on the money as you can get. Sit back and take notes.

[schism206]

I don't mind Hubie Brown, but he is a tad boring at times and said "you gotta give <blank> a lotta credit" way too much, but he knows the game and is pretty insightful. I love Van Gundy, but I can see how someone would hate him, he has some pretty extreme opinions that he likes to embellish on even more for entertainments sake. Mark Jackson was pretty bad, but I had nothing against the guy, and it was always humorous when him and Van Gundy got into it.

I actually most of the bball commentators like Kerr, Harlan, Collins, Albert etc., or at least have nothing against them. But I would much rather have Barkley Kenny and EJ (+ Cwebb) at the half or post game because they are pretty much the most entertaining. I'll pass on Wilbon John Barry & Magic over the TNT crew anyday as I've laughed my ass off many a time, and their usually the most entertaining on the nights that aren't really big time games (i.e. Thu night Warriors vs. Thunder or something).

wow, that was awesome. :lol

i haven't heard hubie for a couple years but i still remember him fondly. because i'm mainly not listening to the broadcast for entertainment... i'm watching the GAME for entertainment. broadcast teams should be basically about information, but some of these guys, like jackson, got the idea that they were entertainers. and maybe the lowest breed of entertainer there is- someone whose only relevancy is to make remarks about the entertainment that people actually tuned in to watch, meanwhile spewing a bunch of the same cliches over and over again.

i'm just glad jackson seems to be a good coach, because he was awful as a color guy. hubie brown is a true professional.

[brandonislegend]

Hubie just says the most obvious shit I cant ****in stand listening to him when they show a replay he's always like "If you look closely you see the bump" and there never is anything and he still is like "right there"

[NickTheQuick31]

I love Hubie Brown, can not stand Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy. If I want to listen to shitty jokes I can turn on 2 and a half men, love Hubie for keeping it simple, explaining the game and he knows his shit. Hubie is a purist and I love the fact he's been doing it for so long.

[westsideozzie]

Hubie is the GOAT anaylst. I don't care what anyone says.. Plus no one says "NICE" better or can say "you must first rotate the ball" Hubie is the man!

[Brick Rick]

I cracked up every time Mark Jackson would say "That's a grown man move."

Ever since then, whenever I use my power and strength to score a bucket in the post, I can hear Jackson saying that ish in my head.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCpCeC0-iOc

[obonpaxis]

I love his tendency to phrase everything in the second-person ("Now you're in trouble - you've got to watch the shot clock in a situation like this").

Years ago I was in a bar watching some inconsequential game between the Cavs and somebody else. No one was really paying attention even though the volume was kind of cranked. All of a sudden we hear Hubie blurt out "Chris Gatling! You gotta love this guy!". We all look at the tv and there's Gatling sitting ON THE BENCH staring into space. I don't know if it's the way Hubie said it, or if people were laughing at Gatling's potato-shaped scar-head, but the bar (quiet up until then) exploded in laughter.

But I love me some Hubie.

[upside24]

I enjoy listening to Hubie cover a game.

The only thing that irritates me is he calls Kevin Durant Kevin Garnett almost every game, but he is one of the older guys doing games so that is understandable.

He still knows the game as well or better than any other analyst.

Still better than Mark Jackson's cliche ass.

[tamaraw08]

Why? Because he actually knows the game?

Its the irony isn't it, look at OP's avatar:(

The actual smart analyst who dissects strategies instead of goofballs at TNT who makes fun of everything and the sad part is they don't watch the games and gets paid a ton of money entertaining shallow fans who just looks at their appearances and how they talk

I prefer him over Mark Johnson and his hood talk.

"Mama there goes that man!"

"He put it in the cup!"

I hate when people call it a "cup" instead a basket. It annoys the shit out of me.

[rhowen4]

i really don't feel strongly about hubie either way. he's fine to me.

[IncarceratedBob]

ah come on

[Le Shaqtus]

I've always liked Hubie, he's especially good for those who are new to the game.

[BasedTom]

[FKAri]

Hubie Brown has forgotten more about the game of basketball than anyone posting in this thread has ever known or will ever know about the game.

And it isn't an announcer. Michael Buffer is an announcer. Hubie Brown is a color analyst.

But has he forgotten everything is the question.

[Proctor]

Hubie is the GOAT analyst and OP is a nobody.

Foreal. I was watching a game that Doug Collins was announcing the other day and he was talking about how great Hubie is and how he learns something from him every time he talks to him. I think Hubie and Collins are unreal. You can tell that they are excellent teachers. I think Van Gundy is great too. He likes to joke around more than the other two but he still tries to teach. Jackson is awful. He might be one of the worst ever. Almost any ex player/color man is better than he is. It's really bad. Mark Jackson was a guy who I really liked as a player. It wasn't until he became a head coach and a commentator that I realized that he was a total moron.

[T_L_P]

Hubie was just awful last night. He clearly still has a grudge against us. But that doesn't matter.

His analysis was straight up dreadful. He only referred to Steals, Blocks and Rebounds when talking about defense ("Duncan, a great defender with the 10 boards", "Kobe has 2 steals already, and he can average 6 boards per game, aiight"). He just sounded a little confused out there.

Not trying to hate. He used to be very good -- I remember loving his commentary in the 05 Finals. But it's too fast for him now.

I guess his analysis does appeal to the casual fan though. He's basically introducing the game to the listeners.

Jeff Van Gundy, even with his flaws, is more insightful. And he usually has some good stories from his coaching days/doesn't mind calling people out.

Mark Jackson is horrible. Maybe the worst in America.

[tomtucker]

the bloodless senile zombie is still on ESPN........why does ESPN still have shitheads like van gundy and hubie brown ........get some new commentators for fukks sake.............

[Hotlantadude81]

Because Hubie is one of the best in the game and he calls the game instead of sucking the players ***** endlessly.

[Moonbeam]

I love him. He's probably my favorite.
