[Proctor]

On in 30 minutes.

GOAT analyst, and still great at the age of 91.

This shit hurts. Damn. Back to ESPN being all lames.

I have long wished that we could clone Mike Fratello & Hubie Brown.

The best to ever do it !!!!

Interesting time in sports media.

ESPN fumbling for an "A Team" crew to assemble around Mike Breen. Doris is good and fine but not that level. They're experimenting with the other spot but seem to be quietly anointing Richard Jefferson. He's on the higher level of ESPN's current talent pool but still doesn't have the right gravitas IMO.

These Hubie montages drive home just how direly they need a technical mind like Hubie or JVG and not some well connected semi-decent goofball analyst. Surely there has to be a former coach or player out there that can fill these shoes. Legler is the closest we currently have.

TNT has SVG who is pretty damn good but no more TNT games after this year so who knows where all of that talent scatters or if it stays at all.

Agreed on all points.

Legler’s understanding and perception are truly great, and he wouldn’t be as painfully obvious of a company man as RJ, Reggie Miller, etc.

Legler, for different reasons, suffers some of that same “not the right gravitas” like Richard Jefferson. Jefferson cause he’s a phony company man f@ggot. Legler because his voice/tone is a little bit grating. Not terribly, but somewhat.

Damn I remember TNT back in the day with a young Ernie, and Hubie, Dick Versace, Doug Collins.

TNT actually was good with dudes like Hubie, Dick Verace, and Doug Collin’s giving analysis.

Not a clown show out for ratings and the lowest hanging fruit like with Shaq, Kenny, and Barkley.

Kerr was also solid when he called games for TNT. I knew he would succeed as the Warriors coach.

Marv Albert stayed for too long, he was pretty bad in his final years. A player would hit a 20 footer and he would call it a 3 pointer.

I always preferred the Kerr, Hubie, Collins, Versace types who are all basketball.

Like if you need Barkley’s or Shaq’s ridiculous takes that means you have no friends or family who make you laugh.

I don’t need Shaq or Barkleys edge lord for ratings bullshit.

[Norcaliblunt]

Marv Albert was ahead of his time with the trans weirdo assaulting women shit.

lol

[Hey Yo]

Hard not to get choked up as the broadcast winded down at the end there. Not sure how anyone could not like listening to him call a game.

Will miss Hubie. He was a great coach and even greater analyst. The best in my opinion. Dickie V comes in a close second.

Hubie Brown is to game analysts as Lebron James is to basketball players

He's among the best ever under any circumstance. But to those who put a premium on longevity, he's unquestionably the GOAT.

Hubie is 91 years old. Think about that for a minute. 91. No one has ever come close to remaining sharp both mentally and verbally in this business for anywhere near that long.

If you believe Lebron is the GOAT, then Hubie is your GOAT as well.
