The only issues I have with TNT is Reggie Miller and their shameless promotions of their TV shows. Other than that, pregame, halftime, postgame, and in game coverage just can't be compared to. They manage to make all the non-game programming entertaining yet informative. ESPN tries this by putting Steven A. Smith and Stuart Scott on. And let's just say, that doesn't work.

I actually might be one of the few who like the broadcast team of Mike Breen, Mark Jackson, and Jeff Van Gundy, but no one can come close to the Kevin Harlan-Doug Collins combo. But whoever said ESPN focuses more on the players is dead on. TNT gives you the game, the teams, the fans, etc.

I never liked ESPN/ABC, TNT is the best though, their commentators are more laid back, and the picture quality is amazing compared to ESPN, especially on HD.
