MPJ should get short rope. He's been below replacement player far too often to get a guaranteed 20+ minutes in an elimination game.

Believe it or not, when he does the Roadtripping podcast with Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye and Allie Clifton, he's pretty decent with his analysis. ESPN just for some reason doesn't want that from its analysts. I mean, if it did, Legler would be in studio offering that.

I'll defer to you here as I haven't listened to Roadtripping. But ESPN clearly thinks basketball fans are morons. The difference between NBA pre-game/halftime/post-game shows and other sports is stark.
