[grimreaper1377]

1. San Antonio
2. Cleveland

30. Detroit :D

[Myth]

Detroit is far and away the worst.

Cleveland's is pretty bad. I don't like the Hornet's guy either.

[Nets fan 93]

i like detroit
chauncy b b b billups!
the nets he says Vince Carter like a retard:banghead:

[XxNeXuSxX]

1.Tim Duncan.

[NY Comeback]

The Knicks don't even have a PA announcer, they just go out and play...and fail.

The Piston's PA guy was cool for a while, but it's just annoying now.

[Myth]

1.Tim Duncan.

How great if Duncan had a mic and was an on court PA announcer. I can see it now, Duncan makes a bank shot then announces his own name, "Tiiiim DUNCannnn!!!"

[StroShow4]

#1: Celtics, no contest. i mute the TV during the introductions when he says "THE TRUTH! POOOOOWAAAALLLLL PUUUUUUUUUUUUURRCE!" :banghead:

and i hate when he says "timeout". he screams it in a retarded way.

[plat1numX]

The Piston's PA guy was cool for a while, but it's just annoying now.
yeh i heard the PA announcers got into an argument and quit...

[Posterize246]

i hate the hornets pa guy and everytime he puts on the ric flair "woooooo!!!!"...he does it after a guy makes a free throw!

[DarkNight]

Detroits PA announcer owns, I cant believe anyone putting that worse than that awful garbage out of San Antonio

oh and utah owns when they do Boozer

Carlos BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZZZZEEEEEEERRRRRRR

[Myth]

Exactly. I don't know if he is good other than that, but that is too annoying to be overlooked.

[Myth]

1. Boston
2. Blazers
3. Spurs (Sean Elliott)

PA announcers, not commentators.

[Jimmy2k8]

The Laker's PA Announcer is boring in my opinion.


Ex: Kobie Bryant(in a dull voice)

[plat1numX]

3. Miami

[Nets fan 93]

i like the nets one V C 3..........
I like when he says that but hat when he say's"Vince Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaarter

[SCY]

The Spurs guy sucks ass, made it hard to root for them tonight. Who thought having a redneck do the games would be a good idea?

[Roy Munson]

I hate the New Orleans guy for the Ric Flair "Woooo". It would make sense if he did it after a dunk or something, but after a free throw is annoying.

The Laker guy does a good job of keeping it simple, but does anyone else hear a hint of the stereotypical gay lisp when he talks?

[InspiredLebowski]

Deeeeeeeetrrrrooooit

[iggy>]

spurs anouncer by far.

[SmackOrH.A.K]

Hornets PA is stupid too...it made me pissed when he kept an emphasis on Ginobili's name. I was like wtf this isn't San Antonio.

[TheProphet]

giddity Detrrrrrrrroiitttttt basskettball

[icemanfan]

1.Detroit
2.San Antonio
3.Cleveland

What are yours?
how can you put anyone above San Antonio? We have the worst bar none IMO.

[KOBE24isdabest]

san antonio :cheers:

[ForceOfNature]

The Laker's PA Announcer is boring in my opinion.


Ex: Kobie Bryant(in a dull voice)

Yeah, I completely agree. Actually, that could be a reason for his longevity - he doesn't stress his vocal chords, so he's been around for a while.

Best: DEEEE-TROITT BASKETBALL!!! If you don't like it, then you're a hater.

[Wonder Bread Kid]

Agreed.

[danumber88]

Blazers

[FireMcFailPlease]

Best one was the kings guy when the kings were awesome to watch.

Miiiiike...................BIBBY

CHRIS............wwwwwwwwwwwwwWWWWWWWWWWWWebbah

PEJAAAAAAAAA STOJAKOVIC


The worst is San Antonios. Everytime i hear that guy talk it sends shivers. "Here come the spurs!" "I cant hear you" "defenese!"

[ukballer]

The Lakers announcer. So dull and uninspiring.

Pistons announcer is the best, B-B-B-Billups!

Mciddy Mciddy Mciddy Mcdyess! :rockon:

[kentatm]

the Mavs MC Chris Arnold needs to be kicked in the balls and fired

[MSUBaller11]

Spurs announcer sucks. They deserve better.

Celtics announcer, and their intro video blows. KG and Pierce screaming is so ****!ng lame.

[Dwight Shrute]

The Spurs PA announcer is pretty bad, but the Hawks PA announcer takes the cake

Zaaaazaaaaaaaaa Pachuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ulia

[FireMcFailPlease]

The Lakers announcer. So dull and uninspiring.

Pistons announcer is the best, B-B-B-Billups!

Mciddy Mciddy Mciddy Mcdyess! :rockon:
Lakers PA guy is signature and old school its awesome.

[MMM]

The Spurs PA announcer is pretty bad, but the Hawks PA announcer takes the cake

Zaaaazaaaaaaaaa Pachuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ulia

LOL i love when he says that i also like how the LA guys say kobe bryant. i don't pay much attention to the PA though.

[SsKSpurs21]

stan kelly the spurs announcer needs to be fired. he has this nasaly voice and everything there is a turnover he hells, "here come the spuuuuuurs" that nasaly voice pisses me off! lol

[n00bie]

I hate when the Nets PA says "DID YOU SEE... VC?!?!?!?!"

[KB24]

Pistons easily

chauncy b-b-b-b-b--b-billups :hammerhead:

Hey, don't knock the guy for having a speech impediment. :)

[bigkingsfan]

My favorite was the Magics announcer during the Shaq/Penny days... is it still the same guy?

[millionaire19]

Don't diss the hornets PA Anouncer for playing the WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! sound when they take a free throw, it rules.

[YAWN]

was he high?:wtf:

[NBACha]

i hate the hornets pa guy and everytime he puts on the ric flair "woooooo!!!!"...he does it after a guy makes a free throw!
The PA guy does not play the sounds....that's done by game operations.

Most annoying PA guys though (in no particular order):

- San Antonio...this guy has no voice for the job yet he's been there for years
- The guy for the Miamiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat!
- NJ guy and his stupid little phrases (Did you see - VC????)

I only watch Detroit's games when they play the Lakers. For some reason this came into my mind earlier today, Deeeeetroooiit Baskeeetbaaaaaall. Actually thats the thing he does well. But I guess hearing it few times per game, atleast 41 times a season can be annoying..

[Wonder Bread Kid]

- San Antonio...this guy has no voice for the job yet he's been there for years

:confusedshrug:

Dude was fired over the summer and since preseason the Spurs have had a new PA announcer.

Hell, I posted a thread over a month about the it:

Big Kev.

^ both are the same person

[NBACha]

So the Spurs guy is gone? Wow. I need to watch a Spurs game and give the new guy a listen. I'll replace him on my list then with the Orlando Magic's PA guy.

[20 Dimes A Game]

Pistons is awesome! Bit i'll admit it can get a bit grating after a while.

[Mdog1]

1.Lakers
2.Raptors (i'm a fan just gets on my nerves the abreviations of everyones name.)
3.Celtics
4.New Orleans
5.New Jersey/Knicks

[Mathius]

Ok, seriously, whether I'm at a game, or watching t.v. I almost never hear these guys. Totally tune them out. Is it really a big deal?

I'm more pissed about the t.v. announcers. Cleveland has the WORST group of announcers.

Mathius

[strifed169]

Celtics announcers, one of them is biased as ****, the other guy doesnt seem that way but is scared ****less to protest against his partners annoying asse rants.

[mlh1981]

Cleveland has the WORST group of announcers.

Mathius


"The L train! :rolleyes:

I was watching them online last week vs. Milwaukee, and the only available feed was in French. Honestly, that was better than listening to Austin Carr ramble like he's known for.

[Mdog1]

The Lakers announcers are the absolute worst and its not even close. They obsess over every little thing Kobe does and practically worship him... now Kobe's my fav player in the league but damn .. those guys are flaming ****

OMG I frigging know. They are the worst possible homers. Here is an example of what a normal announcer would do if a player made an alley oop pass. "Wow what a pass". Here is what the Lakers announcers do if Kobe makes that same pass. "Kobe Bryant with an amazing pass that shattered the rules of logic in half".

[yobore]

Hornets announcer takes the cake.
"CP3! woo! woo! woo!"

[Mdog1]

LOL terrible just terrible. A barely above average dunk (it was good, but come on get real) turned legendary, not because of the style but because of the idiot calling it (of course I mean this gets into the top 5 dumbest sports annuncers ever).

[Mathius]

He's easy to imitate though. You just harden up your face and use your lips as little as possible when you pronounce words.

Mathius

[NBACha]

Hornets announcer takes the cake.
"CP3! woo! woo! woo!"

Again...the woo woo is NOT the PA guy. It's a recording played by the game operations staff. It's actually a recording of Ric Flair.

I wish I could.

I'm from New Orleans and I absolutely HATE the Hornets' PA's they are both horrible especially Gil McGregor. He has to be the worst play-by-play guy of all times!!!!

Jordy Holtberg is a piece of **** too!

[NBACha]

Jordy Holtberg is a piece of **** too!

PA = Public Address announcer (the announcer in the arena)
Gil is a television color analyst

[bdreason]

I don't really like the Clippers announcer... maybe because I have to listen to him so much...


"BIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNGO!!!".....

[bdreason]

oh my bad I guess he isn't a PA, but a TV commentator.

Big Kev.

lovin big kev so far. he's still getting adjusted though i think, but he's got a good voice for the gig and a fun personality.

and i do have a nostalgic soft spot for stan kelly as i've been going to spurs games for so long, but i more than understand it was time to move on - as the overwhelmingly unanimous responses in this thread indicate. :oldlol:

[embersyc]

I hate the Miami guy personally. How he is always like: TWO MINUTES... DOS! It's like I don't mind if you going to use spanish that is fine with me, but this is the only time during the entire game they do it, so its just lame.

Also while not an announcer thing, any arena that plays that 'clap clap your hands' bull**** over and over again is annoying. (also applies to Miami)

[rufuspaul]

The guy in Charlotte is absolutely terrible. "Let's Go Cats!" Shouted at the most inappropriate times and completely off beat to the drum sounds that are supposed to guide the fans in the cheer.

[AirGauge23]

I'd like to hear that WOO recording after the free throws.

And I agree with Bigkingsfan about the Orlando PA guy. I also like the Miami one, especially when Wade scores.

[inclinerator]

warriors are pretty gay

[NBACha]

The PA guy for the Celtics has moved up a few spots on my most annoying list recently. I guess because there are so many Celtics games on TV. Most annoying (in no particular order) in my book are:

Miami (DOS!)
Orlando
Boston
Dallas (Twooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhots)
NJ (did you see........VC????)
