Some of you people should read the article first before commenting. Wilbon is gone and this is the main reason Magic has stepped down because they canned his boy. They said they would greatly reduce Wilbon's role this season, preety much sayin he is gone. Wilbon won't take a minimal role I'm sure.

And Simmons has become the main power guy because the show has been pretty much handed to him. It was his ideal to bring in Burke. But this another reason the Magic man quit becaue ESPN decided to go Simmons way. And Magic wasn't gonna play second to him, but Wilbon is the main reason he quit. Also, Doug Collins was hired.

She is a huge upgrade over Magic. I typically don't care for women analysts but she is the exception. She's knowledgable but doesn't try too hard like a Pam Ward.
