I'm talking strictly nationally televised broadcasts, so no homer picks for your local announcers :P

Are you serious?

Yes, im serious.

Hubie is the greatest. He is great to listen to when he speaks about basketball. A terrific basketball mind.

What i would give to hear Harlan, Brown and Doug Collins calling a game. That would be amazing.

Former players are generally rubbish. Give me the old school head coach any day of the week.

JVG is my favorite, followed by Marv Albert. Would love them to call the games together

I used to like Kerr and Albert, but listening to them every game in the playoffs Bulls-Nets, I really lost a lot of respect for them. A lot of fact mistakes and kind of annoying and tiring after 1 game. JVG and Breen seems like a good combination for my ear.

If you want to try to measure the elements of basketball that are supposedly unmeasurable, spend a game just watching Marc Gasol.

Collins would work well with all of them, but Breen-SVG-Collins would be GOAT imo.

Stockton can hardly distinguish Harrison Barnes from Steph Curry. :lol:
Don't mean to be harsh, but seriously get the man some glasses.

Yes, that is a thing he says.

Hubie is the best color man in the game right now and probably will be until he quits. He's forgotten more about basketball than 99.9% of the viewers/listeners have ever learned.

My favorite right now, however, is Kerr and Albert. Good chemistry. I really wish they'd give Kevin Harlan C-Dubb as a partner instead of Reggie. Or perhaps we could get the 2k combo of Kerr and Harlan. That would be a SWEET LINEUP.
