Announcers that you like and hate.

[Glide2keva]

I hate Kevin Harlan. Dude always tries to out-Marv, Marv. Not gonna happen. He hypes up every sing play likes it's the best thing that has ever happened.

Hate Neil Funk, dude is a moron.

Mark Jackson is an idiot, if I hear "hand down, man down" one more time I'm going to do serious bodily harm to him.

Marv and The Czar are still the best, even though they are rarely together anymore.

I have a feeling some people are gonna be pissed at me for saying this but I don't care for Stacey King that much. I don't hate him and I don't think his color analysis is bad, its quite good. I just don't like the things he says when he gets excited. I'm glad passion is being shown when good things happen for the Bulls but I don't like how he reacts. The "I want to go higher!!!" and all of that type of stuff, its just plain irritating to me.

As for the guys I like, well nothing can beat Tom Dore and Johnny Red Kerr. Those were the days, I miss those guys. RIP Red Kerr.

Of course I like Stacey King and Neil Funk.I have been really liking Hubie Brown a lot this year. I liked Doug Collins last year when he was announcing and I also like Steve Kerr and Kevin Mchale. When I was watching the last Cavs vs Heat game I thought the Cavs announcer was pretty funny and said some stuff Stacey King would say lol.
The one I probably dislike the most is of course JVG.

I don't know if there has ever been anyone worse than Reggie Miller... unless you're counting Collinsworth in the NFL.

Mike Fratello has been a favorite for a while now, he seems to call a fair game but is willing to stick it to someone when it's deserved.

I use to not care for Stacey King, but now he's grown on me, except for the silly exchanges he and Funk have sometimes. Personally I loved Tom Dore and Johnny Red Kerr, however most people from my generation seemed to absolutely hate Tom Dore. To me, those two were the voices of the championship era and always reminded me of such. Oh well, things change and the Bulls wanted to go a different direction for the Rose era. Though Funk is also recongnized as the radio guy from the championship era.

AGREE 100%. I HATE DICK VITALE! YEAH BABY! lol...I can't stand him for his ACC lovely mainly, but he's still annoying as hell in general. I also hated Bill Packer

 

[tbo41fan]

Steve kerr for TNT and Miles Simon on the Spurs local call are great! (Obviously as Arizona Alums)

Love King and Funk

HATE the Suns announcers...terrible!

 

[Capt. Serious]

NCAA: Clark Kellogg

Kellogg ftw :beerbang:

 

[Anytime23]

Steve Kerr is my favorite. I love Hubie Brown and I know Anytime23 on here does too.

Hell yeah! Hubie is my favorite. The guys really knows his stuff, i can listen to him for hours. I never see much of a favoritism with him and he genuinely seems to appreciate the game.

I do like Mike Fratello, Steve Kerr. I liked Doug Collins. Obviously you gotta love Stacey and Niel. Theres some more i like i just cant think of them right now.

Matt Millen and Bryant Gumble were much worse.

I enjoy the clown and senile combo of King and Funk.

Don't like Marv, or his son, Albert.

 

[Anytime23]

I completely forgot to mention my former favorite...WILLIAM THEODORE WALTON III!!!!!! Honestly, the guy is a nut case but he cracked me up every single time he was on. My personal favorite line "Shaquille(sp?) Oneal coming back in to restore balance to the universe.". Come on, thats pure brilliance!

 

[BogansDPOY]

Gus Johnson >>>>>

"Throw it DOWN, big man, throw it down!"

He kind of annoyed me back in his NBA on NBC days. He was always the Bulls' biggest critic.

maybe all of you that hate Dickie V are just rooting for the wrong team

I liked Billy Packer. He may be an asshole of a person, but he was excellent at breaking down what they were doing.

 

[GaelicSoxFan]

So you're saying you like Dick ?

 

[Rick]

Not basketball (with the exception of Tirico) but I absolutely hate the Monday Night Football crew. Tirico is terrible, Gruden needs semen pumped from his stomach after every game he calls because he sucks off every player during each Monday night broadcast and Jaws is annoying.

HATE the Suns announcers...terrible!

I seriously hate the Suns announcers more lol. Al McCoy by the far is the most annoying person i have ever heard. Always shouting out SHAZZZAAM! or WAAMMO TIME! Its horrible lol. The guy i think everyone is forgetting about here is Wayne Larrivee. He was awesome during the dynasty years and one of my all time favorites as he also did Bears games for a long time as well. Stacey and Neil have grown on me as well plus i like the fact Stacy puts aside his inner Homer and gives good background and credit to the opposing teams. I say Marv Albert is the greatest NBA announcer of time.

"Throw it DOWN, big man, throw it down!"

He kind of annoyed me back in his NBA on NBC days. He was always the Bulls' biggest critic.

And the Lakers biggest homer.

He made watching games unbearable. He'd talk about the Lakers even if he was doing a Boston vs. Washington game.

Hated that guy
