Well to be fair, no one on the finals pre/post game show was outside of Wilbon.

Magic and Jalen add nothing but incomplete thought after incomplete thought.

Magic is awful. Jalen Rose is actually pretty good at what he does.

Definitely. Same for Rick Reilly. Both are extremely awkward on TV.

Simmons should stick to WWE and reality tv.

Not to mention the hypocrisy of not only allowing but promoting SAS and skip Bayless' blatant trolling and pandering to the lowest common denominator. Also he's stuck with magic and jalen who just throw around the "we played in the nba so we know more than you" card even when they're right/wrong about the same amount as any serious NBA fan



Jalen has been more receptive to Bill as the season has gone on. There podcasts are golden--make my week. Jalen gives bill a chance and has really warmed up to him.

Magic is older and one f the best ever and kind of detached from everyone due to his stature. He really doesn't hear bill out

Jalen is the best analyst (for TV) on that set.

This was the one reason I got into him at first.

His reality podcasts were so awesome

I'm not sure what his complaint is about. If he thinks he made a bona fide kneeslapper and the producers took it out, well that may suck but that stuff happens on shows all the time. That's life, kitten.

Now, on the other hand, if he got in actual trouble for making the joke that's another story and I would that is BS.

I think he point is that he knows he's not there for basketball analysis. He's there for humor. But if all of his jokes get pulled, what's the point?
