Re: Which broadcasters do you prefer?
I'll take anyone ever over Jackson. Not super picky on the rest of these guys. Harlan has some of the most epic calls so him I guess but both are fine. Van Gundy's are both fine for me as well, but I'd lean stan.

Breen over Harland (toss-up for me though)
Mark Jackson over Reggie Miller (not a big fan of Jackson but Reggie is insufferable)
JVG over SVG

Jeff slightly over Stan. Kevin and Reggie by wide margins

I want the League Pass to put back the feed with Chris Marlowe and Scott Hastings for the finals.

Breen is the greatest to ever do it. Easily him

Breen and JVG. I guess Reggie over Mark Jackson but that's a serious Sophie's choice. Both need to get the Weber treatment.

All of these broadcasters are fine except for Mark Jackson who adds nothing.
I prefer Harlan over Breen slightly.

The TNT guys for the sweep. Harlan and Breen are close, but Harlan to me is one of the most iconic NBA voices ever, if not the most

Re: Which broadcasters do you prefer?
I wish there was an option for no broadcasters. Just game and arena sound. As of now I watch on mute. It's not even that I like or don't like certain broadcasters. It's just that for some reason I stay calmer when it's on mute.

Got to give it Marv Albert. NBA on NBC music followed by Marv Albert coming in was peak NBA.

The ESPN A-team should be DB and Breen
The TNT A-team should be Harlan or Eagle and Jim Jackson

I kinda think Breen is better, but Harlan's voice IS basketball to so many. Short of I guess going back to Marv Alberts he's the most iconic voice right now I think.

Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson are terrible. Jackson has this annoying condescending tone and Miller just sucks and constantly says dumb things

Re: Which broadcasters do you prefer?
I've heard Marv Albert's voice this year and last year more than just about any other commentator, because I watch dvds handed down to me from 1990s games, and I definitely prefer Marv Albert over the current commentators. Hubie Brown is a sweet talker too.

Re: Which broadcasters do you prefer?
Breen, JVG, and Reggie.
Breen is just the best, and I feel like seeing him game in and game out with the Knicks and with Walt Frazier over the years makes me appreciate him more than if I just saw him on national broadcasts.
"Kawhi Leonard going crazy!"
Harlan is good, but I'm always aware that he "doing Kevin Harlan" instead of just being Kevin Harlan calling a game. I feel like his style draws attention to itself as a performance, and therefore away from the action of the game.
I loved JVG as a coach and I love him as a broadcaster, but unfortunately his appeal is mitigated by usually being paired with Mark Jackson.
I know a lot of people hate Reggie, but I kind of like him. Even though he's not really a favorite of mine, the margin between Reggie and Mark Jackson as broadcasters is even bigger than the margin between them as players.

Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.

Re: Which broadcasters do you prefer?
I mean I don't like Mark Jackson per say but I think his and JVG synergy special. Could just be JVG since he is great as a standalone voice but I do enjoy the banter between the two. That playoff game where JVG attended his daughter's graduation and we were only left with Mark and Breen was terrible though.
Reggie is terrible all around though, so I'd take almost anybody over him. Jim Jackson should be on TNT's A team but I love him and Ian together. Eagle has become my 3rd favourite play-by-play behind Breen and Harlan.

Van Gundy bros are the guys worth listening to.
Breen is fun.
Jackson is a complete and utter waste of time.
