And I've seen a grand total of 0 highlights. True story. One interview after another, with commercials in between. No wonder I don't watch this show anymore.

All I wanted was to catch the Warriors' and Kobe's highlights during my breakfast, but instead, all I've gotten for nearly an hour is people talking about those games, and the Rams.

But that is not the point he is getting at... ESPN is dogshit these days and they advertise their flagship show to have highlights but now its only reactions, interviews, twitter, etc.

record the post game segment and watch it at your leisure in the AM.

here are the GSW highlights.

Curry fires from 3. Its good. (X 10)

curry had 46 with a lot of time left and then he sat and watched 2nd and 3rd stringers play. He played 30 minutes. 30 points on 3's.

It's pretty bad, most people are just going to say "don't watch" though.

I remember after the NCAA title game I had gone to bed and didn't see it but saw my phone when I got up and only wanted to see highlights of the last few minutes. All it was was interviews and breakdowns from anchors but they didn't actually show shite other than the last shot. Give me some setup damn.

Also they have far too many anchors. In the mornings they have 5 frickin people. Why? Give me 2 people at a desk talkign over highlights and I'm fine. I don't need Sorina Morales telling me about her snapchat story or her twitter feed.

I guess they figure most people have seen the highlights by now. This isn't 1995 where they're going to play the same SC 10 times in a row.

I still like ESPN, but I will agree they have gotten progressively worse with their quality of coverage over the years.

I can appreciate the insight they bring with all these interviews and news pieces they do, but part of the reason I enjoyed sportscenter was the highlights.

I guess so. I wish it was still like that though.

I'd rather them recycle highlights. I think interviews and analysis are pointless, but obviously it's working for them.

They don't do many traditional highlights, but usually the highlights are happening in the background of the interviews.

GS and LA didn't end til midnight eastern. Pretty lousy assumption on their part to think people getting up at 7am EST have already seen all the highlights.

Guess they figured people that cared enough to watch two historic games would've stayed up?

You do realize you have highlights at your finger tips right?

It's 2016.

Do you also call the weather telephone number to see what the weather is?

The Hannah Storm hour focuses on interviews. They've reformatted how they do Sportscenter in February. The AM show that comes before it does a lot of highlights
