Hopefully he got fired, along with Legler, both failures.

Anthony and Legler still do NBA Fastbreak sometimes. I dunno what idiot decided that the Steven A./Walton combo is better.

Walton is ok calling games but I don't like him in the studio...

On the other hand, Mark Jones is awesome calling games or in the studio. I can't believe they wasted this guy as a sideline reporter the past few years.

His line on a Yao dunk last night:

"Just call him a beautician cos that was a facial" :roll:

He didn't disappear alltogether, he was demoted. Him and Legler did NBA Nation on ESPN2 this past tuesday.

If you ask me, I'd rather take Greg Anthony & Tim Legler talking sense rather than Bill Walton & Stephen A. screaming out of their lungs at each other. Stephen A. Smith needs to be fired at once, he's bringing down ESPN.

He picked the Jazz to finish 14th in the West last year... He's not the brightest guy when it comes to basketball.

Actually Anthony is more right than wrong with his predictions. Can't say the same for most NBA reporters/analysts. And yes, Stephen A. Smith should be fired.

Stephen A. Smith is a joke! He thinks he is funny, the fact is he sucks. He and Walton together...dumb & dumber

Definitely agree with you here. Maybe Anthony and Legler were too bland for people's tastes or were disliked for whatever reasons, but they talked basketball pretty well. Stephen A. Smith and Bill Walton just isn't a good combo IMO

Or it could be that when people see them they have no idea what they have to do with basketball. With Smith and Walton, you get a loud abrasive black man whose usually wrong and a white man who no one can decide is right or wrong because no one has a clue what he's talking about 90% of the time. I'm not sure if that's easier to connect with, but they leave an impression (unfortunately it's usually a bad one).

Never been a big fan of his. He keeps using the same, tired lines over and over again.

Not sure exactly why he got fired but I do know this: the next time Greg Anthony has an original thought, it will be his first.

Dude is the king of re-hashing consensus opinions.
