dude is friggin awful. Half the time it seems like he isn't even watching the game they are covering.

TBH most of the former NBA players and coaches suck arse on all channels.

The only ones I really like when it comes to analysis are Chris Webber, Jeff Van Gundy, and Hubie Brown. CWebb is by far the best and most even handed. JVG and Hubie are decent enough but sometimes they get too stuck on certain subjects. However, thats better than most of the other hacks who just sit there with their thumbs up their asses.

Chuck is funny but he clearly doesnt watch that much past whatever game he is covering.

Kenny has admitted before that the only games he watches are the ones he calls for the Knicks or whatever they run on TNT.

Reggie Miller is takes obliviousness to Joe Theisman levels with how he will describe things that flat out aren't happening in real life.
