I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart. Wish you never met him or heard anything he has to say about the NBA.

Not really sure what you are referring to.

Is he the love child of Pink Floyd’s drummer and keyboardist?

I assume he's still insisting that Dallas will take the series?

I have only caught an occasional online snippet (such as YouTube) of this guy over the last few months, having never heard of him before.

He looks like the villain from a D-grade Mission Impossible rip off. His knowledge and understanding of basketball appears also to be D-grade at best. He seems to largely intertwine with other people who's commentary on basketball should never be allowed leave anything more than a WhatsApp group chat with their high school friends, such as Broussard and Bayless.

Another one from countless examples where knowledge and talent is not an impediment to becoming gainfully employed in the media.

I cut cable a few years ago, so I have only heard him speak on a couple rare occasions. Those were enough to convince me he is employed entirely to generate hate clicks for ESPN. That is the only reason he has a job.

If you go back and watch Game 2, he’s right behind the Mavs bench. He continually cheered for Mavs all throughout the game. Although pretty sweet when Pritchard hits that end of Quarter 3 he walks off

He's quite possibly the worst sports host of all time.

He hates Boston and picks against them in every series.

I find him even more annoying than Skip. Nick is literally unwatchable, on multiple levels.
