Nique calling games?

I read on ajc.com that Nique would be joining Bob Rathburn to call games. Does anyone know what happened to "Smitty"?

Smith got a job with NBATV

Oh ok, thanks! Hate to see him go, I thought he did a pretty decent job calling games.

Yeah Smitty was cool. I heard Dominique on a broadcast last year; he sucked.

Being a great player doesn't guarantee greatness at other Bball related activities like broadcasting, coaching etc...

If only we could get someone to replace Bob Rathbun. He's the most irritating announcer in sports history. I mean that literally. There's never been one announcer in the history of sports that I wanted to choke more than Bob Rathbun.

^^^ Really? I love Rathbun. He doesn't seem like the most fun guy but at least he's genuine and he knows his stuff.

Nique sucks at broadcast. I also HATE it when one of the announcers also works for the team, get ready for some ridiculous homer comments.

I'll miss Smitty. Good to see he got the gig with NBA TV, he deserves it.

^Yeah, I heard Nique a few times and he's definitely on the homer bandwagon.

I'd rather for Nique just to do halftime and postagame stuff. Maybe they could get Grant Long back, or some other former Hawk to commentate?

OH NO! WHAT GAME PLAN WILL WOODY USE NOW THAT "SMITTY'S 3 POINTERS" ARE NO LONGER AROUND!
