John Buccigross and its not even close. Not funny at all but he feels the need to throw a joke or a "rock in the suburbs_____" whenever he can. Annoying

[kraze94]

Hubie brown > all those bums

[ShawnieMac06]

If you're talking all-time, hands down it's Tim Hardaway...poor guy couldn't articulate a simple statement to save his life.

Present-day, no one really stands out is as flat-out awful, but I don't care much for Bruce Bowen.

[White Mamba]

ALL OF THEM:coleman:

[zizozain]

Henry Abbort

[TheMan]

Colin Cowherd...easily the worst

[Zackmorris]

Jon Barry
Chris Broussaud
Ric Bucher
Rob Parker

Is Reggie Miller an ESPN analyst? He is horrible. No meaningful insight. And if he can't provide anything interesting, then he should be funny (like JVG), but he is not that either.

i think he's not with espn, but he fukkin sucks.
and i hate his frog voice.

[wang4three]

Stephen A. The guy is a walking parody. His English is awful and can't help being a constant hypocrite.

[Heavincent]

Henry Abbott, hands down.

Basically, he gets paid to be wrong about everything.

[LoneyROY7]

:applause:

[Horatio33]

Broussard. He isn't ESPN but Rick Kamla is awful.

Look at the Kobe stans upset with Abbot because he disagrees that Kobe is clutch. Like little girls.

Gotta give him credit tho, its hard to be wrong about everything everytime, I mean, statistically chances are you will sometimes be right, not this guy.

you'd have to be blind to not see that abbott has something against kobe

[caliman]

Basically they all suck, but the ones that really stick out our Abbott, Hollinger and Bucher.

Hubie Brown is the only ESPN/ABC NBA color announcer I like.


I think Brown should just move to TNT, and then burn the "NBA on ESPN" to the ground.


There is nothing in sports more sad for me than the time in the playoffs every year when TNT is broadcasting its last game of the season. No more good announcers. No more good studio shows. No more good insight and analysis. It really is a huge let down.

Its really sad that TNT can't do the NBA Finals.

JB = pure trash

Broussard too.

[JtotheIzzo]

Quite frankly, it's Stephen A. Smith. It's just that simple.

Is that just the reality of the situation?


The correct answer is Broussard, Jemele Hill and Jason Whitlock. I swear ESPN was in hot water for not having enough black talent on staff when they hired (rehird in Whitlock's case) these people.

[kennethgriffin]

nobody said

Bill Simmons?


:facepalm


he's the biggest troll on the internet. he's grey haired. yet still sounds and acts like a 15 year old. and he's an extreme lebron/celtics homer

and ontop of it.. he made magic johnson quit espn. and we have to listen to him every single pre game/half time and post game on espn/abc

[Kidbasketball20]

Jason Whitlock.

Simmons plays the exact role you are accusing him of and makes no qualms about it...seems to me you are just mad, and the Magic shit? Magic is THE WORST when it comes to speaking in general so I highly doubt Simmons got him fired, seemed like a natural evolution.

Jon Barry did the playoffs back in like 06 or 07. It was the most disgusting thing I ever heard, he had the most off the wall theories and talked over people alot. It was so bad I thought people would phone in and we'd never see him again. He's so lucky there was no social media back then.

I love Bill Simmons (and I'm a Lakers fan). He's definitely a homer, but so what? I think he's pretty funny. Magic, on the other hand, was terrible when he was on espn. :confusedshrug:

Social media did exist in 06 and 07.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

I can get why Simmons might grate on certain people but he really shouldn't be in the discussion with the rest of the idiots named so far in this thread
