Best and worst NBA commentator teams

[Heavincent]

Both national TV and the guys that you hear on the league pass games.

Best:

Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller
Marv Albert and Steve Kerr (don't really like the czar though)
Dick Stockton and Chris Webber (wish they were on TV more often)
Ian Eagle and Greg Anthony (Nets)
Bill MacDonald and Stu Lantz (Lakers)
Mike Breen and Walt Frazier (Knicks)

Worst:
Jazz commentators - huge homers
Mike Smith (Clippers) - see above
Mark Jones and Dorris Burke - if you're gonna have a female commentator or sideline reporter, at least have her be somewhat attractive and...not annoying (like the great Erin Andrews for instance). Also, Mark Jones is boring as shit.

[flipogb]

any crew that doesn't include a former nba player or nba coach

thats why I dont like Doris Burke, it doesn't matter that shes a woman.
what I don't like is that she has never been in the trenches so to speak and her comments dont mean anything to me because of that

[Shade8780]

Who actually gives a sh*t? Im watching the game to see some basketball, not how attractive the commentator is :facepalm

[Doranku]

The Celtics announcers are terrible as well when it comes to being homers.

How about these aesthetics?

[Rake2204]

I'm personally not a fan of Mike Breen. Also, I can't say for sure, but I feel like the Bulls commentators, the crew with Stacey King, can sometimes be obnoxiously biased toward the home team.

In contrast, I'm on the inside looking out, but I feel like the Pistons crew of George Blaha and Greg Kelser do a fine job of striking that middle ground between appealing toward the home crowd while respecting any given opponent. Former Pistons guy Fred McLeod was a little more up front on his bias, and I think that can still be seen as he calls games in Cleveland now. I liked him when he was in Detroit, but I knew full well he was grossly in our favor. Bill Laimbeer was like that too, but I don't think anyone would ever not expect that out of him.

[Skep]

Rockets/Nuggets take the cake for being the worst

Jazz and Clippers are bad too. I hate listening to craig bolerjack talk about basketball, dude doesnt know shit. Matt Harpring is alright but he is still a big homer. I wish theyd get Karl Malone to do it, sure he would be a homer but at least he would be funny as hell.

[RRR3]

Pistons announcers are cool dudes and very nonbiased. I think the Heat announcers are very good too, they are rare in that they will often applaud the refs for making a good call, even if it was against the Heat. I like Mike Breen and JVG, Marv Albert and pretty much anyone (Marv da gawd :bowdown:), and Hubie Brown as well.


IF you type in "Stu Lantz" on google the third suggestion is "Stu Lantz is annoying" :lol

[andremiller07]

Does anyone know what happend to the Raptors guy that always use to say "sick, wikid, nasty" when someone got banged on, i ain't heard him in ages he was a beast in commentary for tha raps him and Andy Rutins dad made a great combo but i don't know what happend to them.

I also love Bill Walton with anyone and i did enjoy Jeff Van Gundy with Mark Jackson a 2-3 years back

[DuMa]

only one i truly hate is Clippers homer Mike Smith.

[ClutchOver9000]

Is Mike Smith the guy that goes "SLAAAAAM DUNK" when BG throws one down? If yes, then yea, that guy's a homer.

[Pursuer]

The Celtics announcers are terrible as well when it comes to being homers.

Yeah, they certainly are. But watching Celtics games is always fun with them. And I'm a Lakers fan.

[DuMa]

Is Mike Smith the guy that goes "SLAAAAAM DUNK" when BG throws one down? If yes, then yea, that guy's a homer.

no thats Lawler. hes the best one of the two. Mike Smith is the other one. constantly overrates the Clippers to levels beyond comprehension

[albas89]

Dorris Burke - if you're gonna have a female commentator or sideline reporter, at least have her be somewhat attractive and...not annoying (like the great Erin Andrews for instance).
:bowdown:

and Michelle Tafoya was def a MILF...:rockon:

[NBA4EVER]

The Hawks broadcasters are pretty good. Bob Rathburn has a great voice for television, and it's always great hearing from Dominique Wilkins when he calls the games.

Also the Hawks PA Announcer is awesome. Ryan Cameron brings so much energy into the building. Came up with the famous JJJJJOOOEEEE JOHNSON FOR THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Bigsmoke]

best= kevin Harlan
Worst= Jon Berry if he still active.

[StroShow4]

Certainly didn't expect to find Reggie Miller in the "best" column.

[VegasLakerFan]

Not really a fan of most announcing teams these days. I grew up when the announcer teams actually talked about the game at hand 95% of the time. Now, it's like, "Kobe hits a jumper. Lakers by 2 over the Rockets. Now, back to how well the Thunder are playing." Maybe I was spoiled by the rapid fire play by play of Chick Hearn, but most of the time, you barely get any info about the play at hand.
I would hope that someone would introduce technology to remove the announcers completely and allow me to listen to the game as if I were in attendance.
I can dream, right?

[MTing]

When Mark Jackson was the color guy for us he was great. I know a lot of people hated him on ESPN with his "mama there goes that man" but he had great chemistry with Marv Albert and I thought he was hilarious.

My favorite commentator teams are the Nets, Knicks, Lakers, Clippers and maybe the Mavericks.
Nets are obvious because I'm a fan.
Knicks are unbiased and I love Clyde. I learned words from him when I was younger:oldlol: It was like studying for the SAT and watching basketball at the same time.
Lakers are also unbiased and they bring energy to the game, making the game more fun to watch.
Same with the Clippers, I love when Ralph says OH ME OH MY or SLAAAAM DUNK.
Oh and I think Stacy King for the Bulls is hilarious also. He called Kwame Brown a T-Rex because of his small hands:roll: .

The ones I absolutely hate are the Blazers and Celtics.
They're so biased. When the opposing team has a really nice dunk they show no energy and completely ruin the play. I feel like calling a play with energy makes the play a lot better.

[StroShow4]

When did Mark Jackson call games with Marv Albert?


EDIT: They were together on the YES network, weren't they? Forgot about those days.

I can dream, right?I think the move away from the Hearn style of play-by-play likely has to do with the appealing more toward the viewing masses as opposed to the listening masses. I'd suppose people now accept that TV is not radio and play-by-play can thus complement a game as opposed to describing it so completely in depth. Perhaps they found the moment-to-moment commentary redundant, while extra analysis was viewed as contributing something worthwhile.

Also, I feel like an NBA game (maybe in Orlando) once experimented with a silent broadcast. It'd be a nice option, but I feel as though I might end up going back to the commentary choice.

[MTing]

Yeah they were great. We had the best overall commentating team in my opinion at that time. When Marv did stints with TNT and Mark was with ESPN, we had Ian Eagle and Jim Spanarkle who are also very good.

[brandonislegend]

Blazers have the to be in discussion for worst.

I just want the option. The Lakers have done the no commentary thing before, and I really enjoyed it. It is kind of sad when you can get more info about a play from the arena announcer than from the guys calling the game. :facepalm
I understand why they are going away from that as simulcasts are a thing of the past, but it was a good way to learn the game and really get a sense of what was going on- even while watching. It also seemed to bring a sense of urgency to the game as well. Now, the game seems to be an afterthought while the announcers just babble about whatever they want to. Also, I really don't need to be told how unselfish so-and-so is or whatever.
As for the network announcement teams, anyone on TNT is better than anything on ESPN by a mile.

[jbryan1984]

Homers for me but Fred McLeod and Austin Carr. Fred has got to be one of the most knowledgable basketball announcers ever.

[StroShow4]

Yeah they were great. We had the best overall commentating team in my opinion at that time. When Marv did stints with TNT and Mark was with ESPN, we had Ian Eagle and Jim Spanarkle who are also very good.

Ian Eagle is awesome. Spanarkle made it a good duo. Ian is good with Fratello, too.

[dzav323]

Thank you LA for Joel Meyers. Y'all's new guy is just terrible.

Also Ralph whats his face from the clippers who says "bingo" and "oh me oh my" and jizzes himself while yelling it in a downsyndrome-like tone.

[Qwyjibo]

I have to mute Raptors games when it's Leo Rautins and Devlin. An unholy combination. Armstrong/Devlin is only a slight bit better.

[dannywpt]

Marv and Kerr must be the best commentator team, even though Kevin Harlan is the best announcer these days. It's a shame Reggie is annoying as fvck.

Other than that, I really enjoy watching Bulls (mostly because of Stacey King) and hate the Clippers idiots..

[Salazaar]

Best:

Kevin Harlan / Reggie Miller - even though Reggie can be annoying
Mike Tirico / Hubie Brown - really like Tirico's play-by-play
Bill Land / Sean Elliott (Spurs) - probably cause I'm a Spurs fan
Mike Breen / Walt Frazier (Knicks) - unbiased
Eric Reid / Tony Fiorentino (Heat) - doing a great job, giving credit when credit is due, but they're not in my top top list
+ Steve Kerr

Worst:

Celtics announcers - god, so biased
Any crew that includes Doris Burke or Jon Barry
Don't really like Marv Albert very much, just too boring, emotionless and repetitive with his "yes!" after every made bucket

[schism206]

I don't know who they are, but I can't stand the Cavs commentators.

[Fudge]

Ralph Lawler and Mike Smith take the cake. I also find Matt Devlin and Jack Armstrong super annoying. Or maybe just Armstrong.

[FireMcFailPlease]

wolves have a new guy. hes awful. after every 3 pt make his signature go to move is "PUT IT IN THE BOOKS!"

[shadow]

how the hell does OP put the Lakers MacDonald and Lantz in the list of best. MacDonald is insufferable. Lantz is fine but Billy Mac....ugh.

[Rake2204]

The Bulls announcers on CSN, I do not enjoy listening to them at all.

I am often quite understanding of a hometown slant, but they sort of make me feel like everything about the opposition is terrible and anything good they do is lucky, while on the flip side, everything is awesome about the Bulls and any lucky shots they hit are a result of outstanding skill and execution.

On the past three trips down the court, I've heard all caps renditions of "LEANING TOWER OF PISA!" when Marco Belinelli scored, "POPPITY-POP-POP-POP-POP!" when Noah made a jump shot, and "BEAM ME UP SCOTTY!" when Kirk Hinrich hit a three pointer.

[Clippersfan86]

Lawler is hands down the most accomplished and memorable in the NBA today. Sure he can be annoying at times but he's a legend. Mike Smith on the other hand aka CF86 is annoying as ****.

[brandonislegend]

Clippers and Portland with Miami a close 2nd are the worst.

[Myth]

Does Hubie Brown still do commentating? He was great at actually explaining shit rather than just saying what everybody already f*cking knows.

[Just2McFly]

I learned so much from that guy.

[Peteballa]

Clippers and Portland with Miami a close 2nd are the worst.

Miami? Eric Reid and Tony Fiorentino are unbiased, know the game and are great personalities. Some of the best commentators in the league.

[Just2McFly]

Miami? Eric Reid and Tony Fiorentino are unbiased, know the game and are great personalities. Some of the best commentators in the league.
People hate on anything Miami related.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Barrett and Rice are probably the worst duo.

[TheTruth#34]

Celtics commentators are huge homers, gotta love em though :oldlol:

[Micku]

Clippers and Portland with Miami a close 2nd are the worst.

Miami is pretty good with their commentators. They are pretty unbias for the most part, and professional and great usually.

Clippers aren't that bad imo. I don't think they are as unbias as the Lakers or Miami, but they are ok. Not the worst.

The worst are the Celtics. They are so bad that it's funny at times. Homers and so bias.

The Raptors have the best music by far to me:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ndLt5IgWBQ

The best presentation that I think the NBA can have would be either the NBA on NBC theme song or the Raptors theme song, with the TNT crew with Reggie, Kevin Harlan, and Barkley commentating.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

I enjoy almost all the nationally televised groups, though I think CWebb is dumb as hell when he does games.

I think GSW and Sac's crews are really good (the like 15+ combined Emmies will support that). Especially when Sac has Bill Walton and Jim Gray guest-starring on the crew - hilarious. I think I remember liking San Antonio's and Portland's.

LAC, Boston, and Memphis I know for sure have commentator teams I despise.

[InspiredLebowski]

Does Hubie Brown still do commentating? He was great at actually explaining shit rather than just saying what everybody already f*cking knows.He was but Hubie's kinda fallen off the last few years. He's still better than most but not the great he used to be, seems like age is catching up. He'll have a new man crush every game and just talk up a certain guy allll night.

And anyone hating on Doris Burke is just sexist, that's the only thing I can think of to explain disliking her. She's very good.

[Lakers Legend#32]

Worst insuferable homers.
David Locke, Jazz
Brian Wheeler, Blazers

Worst pre-game, post-game host
Brian Davis, Thunder

Best of all-time
Chick Hearn, Lakers
Kevin Colabaro and Marcus Johnson, Sonics

[InspiredLebowski]

Kevin Colabaro and Marcus Johnson, SonicsColabro was pretty awesome, his brother Dave does local sports in Indy and he's pretty good too.

[DetroitPiston]

Man, no love for Blaha and Kelser for the Pistons? Fair towards opposition, not exactly homers, and has the best phrase that goes, "COUNT THAT BABY AND A FOUL!"

[brandonislegend]

Miami? Eric Reid and Tony Fiorentino are unbiased, know the game and are great personalities. Some of the best commentators in the league.

They are constantly biased from the 2-3 games I have watched this season, they said something one time about chalmers not fouling and it was the most blatant thing I have ever seen.

[tomtucker]

worst are the "color" men for ESPN and TNT....steve kerr and van gundy, to name a few.........they talk way too much, while the game is playing they go on and on, about other shit, like stats from a previous game....and other nonsense.....play by play guys on those 2 channels hardly cover the game action........local feeds are better.....like Miami and Laker crews.....they only talk about the game at hand.......and don

[senelcoolidge]

Worst...
Hornets
Celtics
Nuggets
Blazers

Most commentators are biased, but some are very nasty. Meaning that they insult and demean opposing teams and their players rather than give real analysis. Other guys are homers but are not nasty. They make silly exaggerations about their own players but they don't go out of their way to insult others.

[Mike Rice]

Thank you to all those who put the Blazers at the very top of your best commentator lists.

Me and my partner, Mike Barrett, do our best to provide you with great analysis for our great Blazer basketball games.

[Dave3]

Does anyone know what happend to the Raptors guy that always use to say "sick, wikid, nasty" when someone got banged on, i ain't heard him in ages he was a beast in commentary for tha raps him and Andy Rutins dad made a great combo but i don't know what happend to them.

I also love Bill Walton with anyone and i did enjoy Jeff Van Gundy with Mark Jackson a 2-3 years back
Yup, his name was Chuck Swirsky and now he announces for the Bulls. I liked him a lot too, and so did my whole family. My dad used to laugh at his announcing a lot.

[Clutch]

He was but Hubie's kinda fallen off the last few years. He's still better than most but not the great he used to be, seems like age is catching up. He'll have a new man crush every game and just talk up a certain guy allll night.

And anyone hating on Doris Burke is just sexist, that's the only thing I can think of to explain disliking her. She's very good.
She has such an annoying voice.

[Rake2204]

Man, no love for Blaha and Kelser for the Pistons? Fair towards opposition, not exactly homers, and has the best phrase that goes, "COUNT THAT BABY AND A FOUL!"I'm a Pistons fan so it's tough to nominate my own guys. I think it takes a lot for a hometown fan to not like their own announcers.

That said, when I try to be fair, I think I agree with you. They're clearly Pistons announcers and they'll be more excited when a Piston does something good but they treat the opposition with respect night in and night out. I appreciate that. Those two are just flat out professional.

[Just2McFly]

They are constantly biased from the 2-3 games I have watched this season, they said something one time about chalmers not fouling and it was the most blatant thing I have ever seen.
Judging a crew off 2 games?:wtf:

I bet you are type of person to judge a musician off 2 songs two, right?

[T-Time3]

nobody can top mike breen's BANG!!!

[swi7ch]

I'm starting to dislike JVG now. I feel like he really doesn't want to do it anymore or he's not good without a 3rd guy.

[Rake2204]

nobody can top mike breen's BANG!!!I can't recall if I already said it in this thread or another, but I really do not care for Breen or his catch phrases. He does not feel basketball authentic to me. I don't know what his background is, it just seems to be commentator first (which is fine) but his basketball opinions often seem to bleed through and I do not frequently agree with them. I prefer a neutral primary commentator and I think he often tries to be, but does not always succeed.

[JohnnySic]

Marv Albert needs to go away.

[wagexslave]

Marv Albert needs to go away.
The Suns picked up his brother Steve Albert this year, who's much worse than Marv. He's just boring as hell... I miss Al McCoy and Gary Bender doing Suns TV games. Albert is tolerable sometimes, but he's just not exciting... doesn't know how to get fans pumped up.

I thought Tom Leander was terrible though until they picked up this dyke sounding chick Ann Meyers to do commentary duty once in a while, and she's beyond awful. She makes me want to mute the TV. Women shouldn't be commentating for a male sport... it just doesn't work.

At least we still have Eddie Johnson though I guess... he's humorous at times. But really, the Suns announcing/commentating crew has gone so far downhill in the past few years(much like the team itself) that it's depressing to listen to. I can't imagine any teams commentary being a whole lot worse. At least when EJ is commentating it's tolerable, but when Ann Meyers is in for him the game is practically unlistenable.

[Rake2204]

Marv Albert needs to go away.I really like Marv Albert. I much prefer him to Mike Breen. I also like Kevin Harlan. To each their own I suppose.

[wagexslave]

Don't really like Marv Albert very much, just too boring, emotionless and repetitive with his "yes!" after every made bucket
He's even worse at NFL.

[Derka]

In defense of the Celtics' team (Tommy and Mike)...they're not so biased that they don't give notice when players on the opposing teams do something noteworthy. Tommy loves praising big men in particular (he's got mancrushes on Duncan and Noah). A lot of broadcast teams out there won't even do that (someone mentioned the Bulls' guys earlier). There's no shortage of praise for the opponent, but make no mistake about it: they're paid to focus on the Celtics for Celtics' viewers and that's what they obviously spend most of their time doing. This season in particular, they've both been pretty quick to point out the shitty things the C's are doing out there, too...maybe you have to have watched every game to see it, though.

I'm actually enjoying the addition of Scalabrine to the team, as well.

The one area that's totally indefensible for me is when Tommy starts on the refs, even on those incredibly rare moments when he's actually right. Gorman could do more to reign him in on that but it's almost like he's scared to. That's the one area where I constantly pull a :facepalm cos Tommy never lets that shit go.

I miss Joel's voice calling Lakers games, no homo. Lawler and Smith are just funny to listen to. Miami's broadcast team is better this year but the dude who does their PA announcements after each score...easily the worst I've ever heard.

Edit: if it were possible, I'd have Bill Walton calling every game for every team all season and post-season. Yes, every team.

[rmt]

good:
JVG
Steve Kerr
Hubie Brown

bad:
Reggie Miller
Jon Barry
Greg Anthony

[Heavincent]

I can't stand that guy. His constant screaming after every score drives me nuts.

"LeBRON JaaaAAAAAAMES!!!!!!!"

Jesus Christ, get a grip.

[fsvr54]

And anyone hating on Doris Burke is just sexist, that's the only thing I can think of to explain disliking her. She's very good.

She's a Hawks-hater, that's a legit reason.

[Rake2204]

From the one time I've heard a full game (tonight), Washington announcers Steve Buckhantz and Phil Chenier seem to do a very good job. I do not like obnoxious and I do not care for blind homerism (to the point where the opposing team is constantly degraded). These guys did none of that. They just called a solid game altogether.

[Shepseskaf]

Marv Albert needs to go away.
He's a legend. He doesn't have to go anywhere.

[DaSeba5]

I love Eric Reid and Tony Fiorentino. Always unbiased, and some of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.

[stephanieg]

Hubie was at his best in the late '80s/early '90s. Nowadays he just rambles on while reading off a guy's stats while saying "come on!" a lot. Every once in awhile he'll have a good moment of analysis though.

I wish Bill Walton was still announcing national games. He's what people want Barkley to be. Thank god for the Not Bill Walton twitter.

Breen is only tolerable if JVG is there to kick sand in his face. He's the worst at hiding his bias for which team he wants to win.

Burke would be better if she stopped trying to sound hip and dropped the random ghetto slang. There's something about her voice or the way she emphasizes certain words that doesn't sit well, can't quite put my finger on it.

Reggie Miller used to be so bad he's good but he's too refined now and he's just sorta bad. I think he was at his funniest when he was just starting and still had the full blown Kermit the frog voice and he didn't know what he was doing. I still remember the '08 playoffs Nuggets vs. Lakers when he was trying to sound dramatic and yelling for the commercial outro and his partner
was like "Reggie, you OK?" Can't find a youtube clip though.

[stephanieg]

Breen drinking game:

Take a drink when he says...

Won't go!
It's good!
Bang!
_________ banks it in!
What a move by ______________

You'll be in a coma by the end of the first quarter. He probably says "won't go!" like 40 times a game.

Chris Webber and Kevin Harlan
:applause:

[gilalizard]

As much as I hate the Lakers, their commentators are really good. Good knowledge and understanding of the game, and fair calling of the games.

Amongst the worst are the Heat announcers. They're as shamelessly biased and removed from reality as Heat stans on the internet.

[UtahJazzFan88]

Warriors announcers are underrated. Bob Fitzgerald to be specific who's the play by play guy who also did the announcing for USA basketball on NBC Sports Network.

[Rake2204]

Warriors announcers are underrated. Bob Fitzgerald to be specific who's the play by play guy who also did the announcing for USA basketball on NBC Sports Network.I agree. I really like that announcing team as well. Fitzgerald actually used to do the commentary for NBA 2K.
